It felt fake and hollow
Please Jesus P make this happen I’m begging-
Nah, i don't think so. He's chilling in the void
Moons Haunted
That's more than some relationships I had as a teen
Emet Selch... how very unlike you
Still
I feel you
Two err so gravely
Zenos: What are you?
it's almost as if gaia and ryne are teenagers...
WoL: I AM ALL THE ASCIAN
Pls don’t do this to my babies Gaia and ryne 😭😭
'Hey we like the same oxygen' 'Let's hang out'
Relationships are for losers. Be a virgin forever. Obtain wizard powers


What I want to know is will the warrior of light achieve Ultra instinct
only in the dragon ball alliance raid
No just basic instinct
Gaia can literally slow time
Hmm would emet pull himself out of the void to help us? prob not.
he finally got his vacation.
fuck them kids
I mean, a second time
well...
return to monke
fk em all ugly kids
Emet would probably abusing Fanny if he came back

they look like aliens
I mean... is that even possible lol, would that fuck with established lore of ascian death
NOT CUTE
Don't givb into those desires. Resist. Obtain the power that is rightfully yours
Final fight against Zenos just hit him with the last surprise
Honestly, the thing with Ryne and Gaia was fine because you gotta remember that Ryne hasn't been a teenager the entire expac and was essentially learning to be one and then she found this other girl about her age and of course, she wanted to be friends with her
Emet did not die like most ascians do. He wasn't trapped in anything, he wasn't eaten. He died, and returned to the life stream, like everyone else.
emet narrating the trailer doesn't give me the impression he's gonna make an appearance. he's just drawing a comparison between the final days and what fan's doing to the world
He'll never see it coming
he's basically the lord of the dead iirc.
So, he can do a Haurchefant
If emet comes back in any way they’re gonna have a lot of explaining to do
bitch
Emet CAN come back as a new person, like Gaia did
Emet: I come back from the Lifestream enjoying my great afterlfie only to find out a spoiled entitled brat wishes to stain our past to satisfy his petty desires
if emet does come back, it might be in a similar capacity of ardbert, to just drop advice on us before fucking off again
New kid scion

This is true but the wol literally shot him through the soul
slouchy and sarcastic
We shot lahabrea with the same shit, didn't take.
I want a meme of WoL walking around the moon imprinting the Square enix logo everywhere
best boi
I feel like this would cheapen his role in shb
^
Lahab isn't dead, he was sealed.
agreed, I'd prefer him to stay dead
He should stay dead
i agree
Emet -accepted- death, so he gets to go to the lifestream and join the rest of us mortals in reincarnation
Lahabread is a meme as this point
That's poetic and fair.

Lahab gonna slap fandaniel for abandoning their goal
I don't care what they do as far as final boss songs go I don't think anything will ever top "To the Edge"
here, I'll ask.
would you leave the game if he came back in some small compacity? No? then I wouldnt worry.
Everyone says that, and yet every new song it's like 'this is the best song ever'
Because deep inside we're nothing more
The thing is, they won't bring him back
Yeah but isn’t it true that laha used a crystal to escape b4 we killed him in arr, he died by being absorbed into nidhogg’s eye and then being stabbed. Emet literally had a hole blasted through his soul, hard to come back from that
well I didn't think anything would top the ShB theme until I heard To The Edge
They'd bring Ysayle back before Emet
^
Don't even
Than Scions and Sinners
Punches a hole 6 inches wide in lahee bread
SUCH DEVESTATION. THIS WAS MY INTENTION
don't you dare speak her name
I suddenly remembered that one scene... Ysayle and Haurchefant...
Lahabrea got away because Ascians that die evade being reabsorbed into the lifestream through their command of the echo.
he already is
Emet has that command.

Emet -chose- not to use it.
Where's my Alisaie romance?
Emet be using someone elses body though..
emet is the sexy, pessimistic grandfather we never had
Is the echo not hydaelyn’s blessing tho
Shtola is prob gonna die for the 3rd or 4th time in this expansion
I like the idea that emet just decided to chill in the void tho

Don't matter, that's not relevant to how ascian deathlessness works
Emet Selch as a custom delivery.
Y'shotla died, emet-selch revived her
alisaie has been 16 for 5 years
Like 'you guys got this, i know you do'
if not for him, theres no y'shotla
Shtola died during the uldah shenanigans
Emet coming back 
then died again
Keep him gone
Damn
'Die'
and emet broguht her back
How do you know my character isn't roughly the same age as her
Also I'm a lalafell if you couldn't tell by the name
She more did a reckless teleport that put her straight into the lifestream
That ps5 ssd got ffxiv loading like demon souls
Nope, and it never was. The echo is the power of the Ancients, though weaker form. Lahabrea, and Emet have that shit in SPADES.
Lahabrea even tells us this when he fuses with Iggy to form Ascian Prime, he tells is 'this is the echo, this is real power, you shitters need to git gud at echo to match this' (paraphraising)
This is about to turn degenerate real fast
Ngl, if ishikawa was to choose who dies, i really won't be surprised if it's y'shtola. Even if she was one of the few that actually gets shit done
Also NGL i want yshtola to die for real, but i feel like even if she did it'd be boring and not even sad
Alphinaud has the hots for Kryle
isn't it called the echo specifically because its an "echo" of the power of the ancients
Krile is Alphy's teacher...
Yshtola dying would cheapen the experience cuz ur like "any second now lol" -
Well, not exactly, but Elidibus uses that as a metaphor to explain it.
Can you stop
why don't we get to have an artifical echo like zenos
lets snatch his eyes
SHARINGAN
Because we have the real authentic echo
Listen I desperately want more emet content but not by bringing him back. He got the rest he deserves, his whole point of dying was to shift the reigns and finally seeing how the people of the shards are worthy of inheriting his legacy. I want maybe emet coming back through lore or cutscenes from the past, maybe during his amaurotine days. If he had to come back in a physical way at least let it be written in a way that doesn’t destroy his character development
What about Tataru?
Tataru might have something to say about that
We just havent utilised its full power
Enough fetishizing lalas please
yeah, an echo that weakens us temporarily
Don't tell me what to do lop
Yes you’re right, I forgot haha. I read tales from the shadows guys don’t crucify me
I leave for ONE second
I too want more Ancient lore and flashbacks, and I hope Pandaemonium delivers
Degens gonna degen
Well zenos died so his body is disconnected .. or something
So his is .. stronger?
Im bullshitting I have no clue
Fandaniel will betray zenos. Trust me
Zeno's echo is artificial but it also got imbued with effects of Elidebus too
Why would he
why wouldn't he
Zenos does nothing lmao
he have other goals
also his echo was enhanced a ton
as zenos
Also wdym imbued with effects of elidibus
Not to mention he's related to emet
for all we know, he's using zenos
I actually rlly love lahabrea. It sucks that as an unsundered he got an absolute trash end and very few moments of fleshed out character. But what we did get through secondhand flashbacks and tales from the shadows was immaculate
as of lately, our echo when it coems to strength vs strentgh to zeno's is like RIP WOL
His is stronger because Zenos' character is to practice and hone his skills and abilities to the extreme, while simultaneously being bored of having nothing to use them on.
So, if he had the echo, you're damn right he'd actually work out and try to master it, because it's what Zenos -does-.
Come on, it's clear that they're both just 'working together' because their goals are pretty similar
I dunno, I felt it was great to see Lahabrea lose to people he severely underestimated.
Zenos said it himself that he doesn't care what Fandaniel does as long as he delivers that epic final battle
brace for impact boys
Fandaniel isn't exactly a deep villain.
Zenos needs bait to bring us to him. Destroying the world is bait.
Fandaniel wants to destroy the world. Zenos gives him the means to do that.
we literally don't know what fandaniel's motivations are yet, for all we know it could make complete sense for him to team up with zenos
Ive been under the assumption/speculating that Zenos is still in the plot to be the person to show how strong the WOL can get if they harnessed their echo properly and the next stepping stone of power ofc
So we're gonna do funky echo stuff
There's some unsaid lore here that we don't know. But Fandaniel has certainly been interested in Zenos since the beginning
Fandaniel's told us he wants to end the world.
Why did he use Asahi's body of all people.
He wants to bring about the final days, destroy everything and himself in the process
The face just looks punchable.
once we weaken zenos
This was in 5.4...?
The rest is basic implication
I want more lore on laha. When u think about it his character can be very complex, he seems to be a caring, kind, and passionate person in the past. He seems like he was one of elidibus’s friends. It’s implied that his body hopping caused a severe deterioration of his level of power, and there’s also the idea that laha is the way he is because of how insane being a lonely unsundered and losing his friends and family made him
Especially since fandaniel made an offhand mention about genetic memory transfer from emet since zenos is his progeny
yes but what's his motivation? that's WHAT he wants to do, but not WHY
yes, punch me
Oh right fair enough
Fair, but I'll give that time to unravel
- 0is gonna answer that
Fandango's motivations are clear.
He wants attention because nobody takes him seriously with a name like Fandango
We'll probably find out a bit in 5.5 then the rest in 6.0
That's literally what they said - we'll find out about his plans in 6.0
Attention, a spoiled bratty snowflake begging for it
well yeah, that's what i'm saying, there simply isn't enough information yet to judge whether fandaniel is a good villain or not, and whether it makes sense for him to team up with zenos
Trust me, fandaniel is twisted than zenos.

I want fandaniel complexity please yoship please
i think he's trying to bring back the final days to make people pray for salvation and revive zodiark the same way as the first time
I mean, we also know Fandaniel's from a shard

This is pretty obvious I think, he’s playing zenos like a fiddle
Zenos is just a means to an end
But i thought fandaniel doesnt give a shit about the rejoining/what the unsundered were doing
Zenos doesn't really care about being used though.
Maybe it just seems this way
Zenos isnt stupid though to know of if hes being manipulated by fanny
Exactly
And zenos is letting him because if it means that's how he gets his epic showdown, then so be it
I just imagine Fandango combing Zenos' hair
not much is known about Fandaniel, we shouldn't believe anything he say
What if Fandaniel's from a shard that was destroyed? He has nothing left to live for. Burn it all.
What if Fandaniel's from a shard that remains? Destroy the source, his shard can't be rejoined. Burn it all.
The first thing he did in like 2 patches was stand up and break his sword
No, lol
I think the fan/zenos combo is literally just, “you’re happy? I’m happy? Lets tolerate each other then until we get what we want”
Between cutscenes, he did flew in different parts of garlemald and sat on different seats
Zenos isn't 'doing nothing', he's been helping Fandaniel set up his world ending plan

Ah ofc
Zenos: SO MUCH DESTRUCTION 'TIS WAS NOT MY INTENTION
Different seats
Zenos has just been going on his murder world tour
They just haven't shown us that plan but they've said multiple times he's been busy.
This was my intention

Now if I see him at any point in 6.0 dancing I know he really is Fandango
Zenos would 100% destroy the world just cause he's bored
And his partner Tyler Breezenos
Yeah
God, man, imagine how much more motion captured cutscenes we'll get in 6.0
I’m so excited for 6.0
If Zenos did, what would be left for him to do? He loves to hunt.
I can't believe it's already been a year since the Stormblood video! What better way to celebrate the occasion than with a new dance video, right? This one was made over the last four months using Blender, Unity, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.
If you'd like to see more ridiculous FFXIV content like this please consider supporting me on Patre...
Throwback
Well, yeah if he has nothing to life for. But he does now.
A valid reason
When I heard “fandaniel is actually complex and so is the story” I went 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Like zenos literally cares for nothing but personal amusement and satisfaction
Now he'd destroy the world because he knows we'd come to him to stop it, because that's what we do.
@unborn lantern it's just like Illidan said.
The hunter is nothing without the prey
Even his desire to fight us is for his own satisfaction
That doesn't bore him, that interests him
He doesn't like to be interfered with his hunt, fandaniel will.
Zenos cares about nothing but his own interests, and the only thing that interests him is us
Chances of seeing a smidgen of Sage npc in 5.5?
Next villain is || anima ||
they gonna fite
But he's not about half measures--he knows that if he's bluffing we won't come.
The next villain is Seymour guado
Seymouuuuuuuur
Zenos and WoL gonna take it outside like literally in the moon.
I really hope they don't make Fandaniel a sad villain like the previous two. I want them to cement the fact that his goals are just as twisted as he is, maybe driven by jealously for the unsundered. I want a villain that we can absolutely hate more than we do now
Still though I suspect the endgame is to rejoin Zodiark and Hydaelyn in order to stop the cause of the FInal Days
What if there were two men on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would thst be fucked up or what
Quick we need a Summoner a Blitzball player a Hrothgar and a quiet stoic man with big sword
https://twitter.com/rynnamonrolls/status/1357891912808734721 This has the same energy.
Give me a kefka, I miss the days of hating Ilberd for years
Ooh. That could align with the new year letter
This is a cool refresher from last time but I feel like it’d make the story feel hollow.
slllllllloooppeeehhhhhhhhh
They took a lot of care to remind us that ZOdiark isn't evil
Honestly, i don't mind that. Someone with the kefka vibe but still entirely different than kefka. We don't need another mad clown
But Fandaniel's not the endgame anyways
Blitzball, anima, next expansion is gonna have a lot of ffX theme. Even the new city looks like something from spira
Fandannys a miniboss
@untold gull Fandango won't be sad he will Just Dance
Bur you don't need a sad backstory to be complex
You dont need to be complex to be a strong antagonist.
Yeah true, not necessarily sad but more interesting than he is now
Necromancer?
It's definitely gonna have ties with the Final days and i still think Fandaniel played a crucial part back then
Yeah but the way he is now, fan is super boring haha
He's very... Emphatic
With what zenos said about taking zodiark's power, that's not farfetched
It’s an obvious downgrade from sexy emet
He literally only started being an actual antagonist at the end of last patch. Give it time.
Yeah, I like his flamboyance. Nothing besides that haha
I’m tired of zenos
Well he's tired of you too
He is
Yeah, I’m excited to see what they’ll do w him! For now he is boring but I doubt he’ll stay this way
no h's not
Good cause I’m tired of him
He's bored af, waiting for WoL
No he's waiting for Commander Shepard to defeat the Reapers
the only thing powerful than Zenos is the GM's
He always looks bored, he’s so bland
Not everyone likes zenos but everyone simps over him, that’s the golden rule
Something just occurred to me, what exactly are those Mhachian looking machines anyway
Maybe with a haircut I’ll simp for him
Telephoroi shit most like
From the trailer, it's definitely alive and well especially when one is in garlemald
hey speak for yourself, i have better standards than to simp for zenos
I don’t like king hair
Also I rlly wanna see what they do with hydaelyn. We know she’s a primal, and that “primal bad” so I wonder how that’ll be addressed
They're probably not Mhach
Twisty architecture screams ancient to me
zenos is taller than sephiroth
You’re a better person than the rest of us then

okay gonna aske, whats Telephoroi?
LOL
knowing Mhachian's dabbled with the 13th shard in many ways, im guessing the towers are prob a summoning thing or a tempering device or idk
how can anyone not simp for zenos
i'm over here like raubahn please call me
!faq juicy
The group Fandaniel mentioned when he was telling us how he wanted to destroy all the things
It’s literally impossible
look at that
Lmfaoo
Oh okay
New Orginization 13?
i did it boys, finally cleared Castrum

how much mettle did you lose
Yes this, I wanna see moreeeeee, give me that sick hydaelyn lore. She’s just a ex machina type thing right now, show me more of her primalness
Hmmm......
i recall her only helping in ARR
and for the most part we done everything ourselves
everything after that is through minfilia
Love that the scions now no longer use hydaelyns name positively
We only full-wiped twice on Lyon
I gently simped for aymeric when we first saw him
She helps indirectly and directly throughout the series
I don't like Zenos, i simp for Vauthry
But no one else
he more thicc
that's kind of the point though, everyone is puzzled because you aren't just coasting on hydaelyn's power
Guys there is not a character in this entire game that I DONT simp for
That’s a fact
Alphinaud.
there's blessing of light
don't simp for ryne
Alisiae.
or i'll hate you
NO.
Honoroit.
...Khloe
JAJAJAJJS
..
Khloe
FBI
don't simp for Zhloe
please don't simp the children i'm begging you
Okay this is not what I meant at all
Zhloes older

HALRIC
TIS WAS NOT MY INTENTION
I just hate her in general
STOP
Mini Ardbert
well
halric?
The miqote girl who baited everyone into thinking chemist was gonna happen LMAO
i mean he's vulnerable and all
the emote is for all the convo about simping, uh, kids...
but stay away

🤔
Khloe will rough you up
If I find any varis simps I’m committing a murder on sight
Wheres that one gif of her
did you... use..
People like dilfs
oh god, the one about shooting you on the face?
Yea
Why would there be Mhachi constructs in Ilsabard?
SH*
Me @ zenos
I love that tooly
How about unukduhai
I forgot to spell his name
Yes
LMAO
unukalhai is busy trying to be a warrior of light
why does Save the Queen not have a handle
i dont think it's unukalhai if you did the quests he's on the first now
Unukalhai is just baybee
I haven’t finished warring triad or anything w him in it lol

Ive done them all
Simp The Queen is now legit, theres many simps for Simp The Queen
it's good stuff, i recommend getting to it when you can
The queen is a female hrothgar of course there are simps
Destroy all simps
She holds her gun like a scrag
Might as well max most of my classes during content drought
Oh nooooooo, I’ve been murdered
I've been seeing.. female hrothgars cosplay that.. RE: female vampire villain lately..
Curious how the Bozjan resistance doesn't have any female Hrothgar, who you would think would gladly fight to the death for their country
inb4 fem hrothgar actually stands straight

its quite worrying
I mean if they are just straight up female Ronso's from FFX I am all for it
@woeful dagger I always assumed the queen was the only female
I just want my bunny boys
i...did not think of that. I agree 
Oh they're going to have the female roe animations
Because you guys will keep begging and crying and whining and moaning about getting your guy bunnies and female lions
they may use f roe as a base, m hroth very similar to m roe except they rigged the skeleton differently
this meme is spreading fast
So they're going to half ass it
I would be a female Hellsguard in an instant if their run animation didn't look like they were holding in a shit
honestly, one thing i really wished they'd bring is the original concept for fem au ra
but that ain't happening 
yayayo i think you forget that f roe and m miqo weren't in the game originally either and got added later
Still thinking about how they said "yeah hroth queen" then went "the queen doesnt always have to be a hroth you know the population is just skewed"

even then the queen we got was just someone they installed on the throne
I didn't forget but that was a different time when the game was just starting out and they didn't have hundreds of different items to scale onto new models
Well that's really because hroths can't wear crowns
Its confirmed they're not adding 6.0 races right?
BOOBA
Female Ronso
Digging the medallion
@gaunt star I think he confirmed it in shadowbringers that they will not make new races again
Good
How bout male vieras
they said no more races for the forseeable future but they wouldn't be opposed to implementing m viera and f hroth later on maybe
Too much work in all people do is complain about how it doesn't look the way they want it to
they already said if they did implement m viera it'd likely be similar to an m elezen with viera features

That requires changing how they work on a model level.
'I don't care fix it'
That's content you don't get.
Haucherant
Like really the constant complaining about the races and not having the gender you want is just wasted energy.
Oh daddy
thats hot


I know, but ppl still complaining in 6.0 is gonna be 
how
considering 6.0 is gonna be the entirety of Endwalker story, it's definitely gonna be very long
It might not be long.

like i would love m viera and f hroth but i know that stuff takes time and i'm willing to wait however long but being all "you will never get it" just to be contrarian is very annoying
||you will never get it||
Child Lalafells
damn...
Child lalafells is impossible tech
They've got ten years of story told going into it, they don't need to tell a story then invent a second 'conclusion' for the patch three patches later
The servers would collapse
Okay so here's something that I really don't understand when it comes to lalafell
In Final Fantasy XI tarutaru were much shorter and yet they still had children that were smaller than them yet they can't do the same thing for lalafell and lalafell children
they can take elezen male body, change it with new head with bunny ears = male viera 
Imagine having a lalafell wife with lalafel daughter, and you made a mistake and mistook your daughter for your wife.
There's one in gridania near conjurers guild

So if they can't even fix lalafell models after so many years to include actual lalafell children so people can stop calling every lalafell a child then I highly doubt they are going to give you your male bunnies and your female lions
Bunny boys wheb
if they're saving time, it's possible, okay
LMAO
When
Adding more lalafell kids won't make people stop calling the child-looking race child-looking
Lalafell kids already exist, again
They probably just use minumum height model
They're all small anyway 
Theyre very concerningly look like children
It would be easier to make a lalafell child and replace NPC models with those then to make full grown models for the Viera and hrothgar that need every piece of armor in the game scaled to their model
Chibi =/= looking like children
lol
Y A S
bruh
Lalafell dont look like kids to me. They're just chibi and more expressive with their emotes which can be interpretted as childlike
But you are one of few who believe in such
they're midgets version of ffxiv
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you're like the only person concerned about children lalafell models meanwhile a significant portion of the player base would be interested in alternate gender options for viera and hroth
do you thin Cid will have his bad ShB VA or back to his better VA in EW
Lalafells are potatoes
I come from Balmung and people are always calling my character a kid or a loli
Get it right
I still think adult content with lalafells is weird as hell though
Lalafells lives longer, and are older than us.



yes doing all the work for f hroth and m viera would be significantly more work but the payoff is higher
It's not even about adult content it's just the general Vibe I get when I interact
loli isn't banned but female-with-penis-hentai-word is 
... those arent on the same level
I like my current haircut
Why can't I have Grynewaht's weapon?
because he sucks
I dunno, one of those used unironically makes me question the speaker considerably and it ain't the banned one.
Lalafell children looks like adult lalafells
They stop growing at like 4 years old
Anyway people are always gonna have a different viewpoint to you so you just gotta go "oh well" and "block out the haters", so to speak
They give us nanamo's hair but only on Viera... Oh I thought we were playing corrupt a wish
@gaunt star EXACTLY! But on Final Fantasy XI tarutaru kids are actually smaller than the adults
So an older game with older models can do a better job with scaling...
TBF. even if you make lalafell kids, people are still going to call the adults kids
yeah, the insignificant npc
Well this isn't FFXI
And lalafells look like children because they literally look like children
Juice isn't worth the squeeze. The game with older models means the models are less work.
I mean yeah, because FF11 was given the time and care it needed in development. ARR was thrown together in 2 years and shackled to a hodgepodge in-house engine forked from Crystal Tools which was not created with MMOs in mind.
for me Lalafells are emergency food~ thats why i named my companion Paimon .-.
The FF14 engine is really, really bad comparatively to its peers.
Lalafells were meant to be a Dwarf, not children.
Laliho
Rally-ho*
but hey it works
Lalas were inspired by schoolchildren
Lalihoes

TF DID U SAY
Luminous Tools. ARR is built on Luminous. 1.0 was built on Crystal.
RALLY-HO!
Honestly, with them finishing the entire EW in one entire expac, i'm hoping this gives them more leeway into maybe finally upgrading the engine
Wallyho
ARR is built off a forked version of Crystal Tools. Luminous Tools wasn't created until 2012. ARR came out in 2012 but was in dev in 2010.
No, you're wrong.
thats the best facial expression
Doesn't beat Hildibrand expressions
Those people can beat ascian and primals
BROCK LESNAR WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX OF THE CENTURY
maybe we find Hildi on the Moon
At Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012, Square Enix debuted "Agni's Philosophy", a tech demo for their new Luminous Studio game engine. Though members of the Final Fantasy XIV development team worked on Luminous, Yoshida admitted that both Luminous and Crystal Tools were optimized for offline games and could not handle an online environment with hundreds of on-screen character models.[35] Though Version 2.0 uses a "completely different engine", he called the Luminous engine and the 2.0 engine "siblings" due to similarities in their structure.[51] In July 2012, Square Enix revealed that Version 2.0's official title would be Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.[52] As development for A Realm Reborn ramped up, Yoshida made the decision to shut down the servers for the original release on November 11, 2012.[53] This date served as the "grand finale" for the old game, culminating in a cinematic trailer for A Realm Reborn called "End of an Era".[54][55]
ARR initial release was August 2013
also
FFXIV is based on Luminous, not Crystal.
I mean some people look a lot younger than they look
Asians
Doesnt mean that theyre not of legal age
dude, i'm legit just watching that now wtf
Ancient versions of the Mandervilles when?
Saying lalafells look like children isnt bad
Cause for some people they do look like children

They are potato
agni's philosphy should have been ff15
that they do, but we all have kinks
its emergency food !
Put a mustache and they look less

Potatoes are food, not friends
hey look
Luminous is also forked from Crystal Tools. 13 uses Crystal and 13-2 uses Luminous but you cannot tell me they are fundamentally different engines. 15 was the first FF since 13 to use an engine that wasn't just a fork from Crystal Tools. 15 used Ebony for 99% of the game and Luminous for lighting.
Him and Greg are gonna be playing chess
moonwalking
🤣 or its the ulimate raid in 6.1
Also fighting over the gun halberd
Nothing in 2.0 uses Crystal Tools, they scrapped it because Crystal Tools doesn't work.
no more ultimate raids forever
opens R/games
sees people hating on XIV cuz of a slow start to the story
they gave an offhand mention of hildy. i'm gonna be sorely disappointed if they don't bring him back 

Crystal Tools barely even worked for 13
Correct. It is a fork of Crystal Tools. As in the base kernel of the engine is Crystal Tools with inner changes to fit the needs of FF14.
Nier sad in general
fk nier
We dont know the actual Nier story tho
fkin thots
In context of xiv
Nier A is booty booty booty
Except it's not. They worked on a new engine for 14, of which it got siblinged off into Luminous.
if u have a controller~ yeah
i like nier in general but the raid...it didn't feel like it has a lot of weight to it

FFXIV in a nutshell
anything nier related is just to get simps going
Limsa specifically
Automata isn't even the best Nier game
@woeful dagger luminous was a new engine it wasn't forked over from anything they created luminous because they were having issues with the new titles for 13 on crystal
as far as alliance raids go its substence was a little lacking
The nier raid was good because it relied on paying attention
the music is superb (except for final boss music in bunker) and the environment certainly is a change but the story and how it tried to make it work is just... it's too shallow
Which i greatly enjoyed
I like that you can explore niers raid. Feels like Star Wars
They brought in former devs from sega to make a NEW engine
the 5.4 update to the nier raid was depressing
yeah, the mechanics are definitely nice. though i wished it had more difficulty considering they nerfed ivalice
YEAH
the raids are good, the story is bad
Thunder King of w.e his name is was super fun with pugs.
i hope the new NieR gear is good owo
DROP THE GUN AND CATCH THESE FADES
thunder god
He had like 3 mechanics and people couldn't handle it
the last one was kinda disappointing
Puppet's Bunker blind run was hilarious
dude, i queued for it the other day. i just feel like i'm waiting for mechanics to show. it's not being slapped down one after anotehr, it's boring now
that would be lit~
before shb, it was bloody terrifying. it was awesome.
i mean we just saw a white ball
read as Piko Taro and got hella confused
look, if they start giving us giant white babies, i'm gonna fucking flip a table
Do we have to build a lunar lander to get to the moon?
i have an
first i though we gonna use Eden as Space Ship...but i guess its difficult~ xD
Yes
Nah just wait for Rowena and Cid to pull some Allagan bullshit from thin air
I want Lunar Panties
Void ark
I never bothered unlocking void ark. is it good?
Cid Musk? xD
waiting on Cid to tweet out "Doge"
can't even get a party for Void Ark
we're probably most likely gonna find a ship based on some legend in some country which i wouldn't even be surprised if Sharlayan is like Mysidia
Just conveniently find the Lunar Whale in Thavnair
thanvairs gonna be filled with those half-naked dancers
Louisoix comes back and teaches us an ANCIENT sharlayan spell that teleports you to an ANCIENT sharlayan moon base where the Circle of Knowing has been all along
looks like a dildo
We ask Emet for a lift
Ur gonna have 80% of ppl stuck on that

We're taking the lunar whale
*dorito whale

kinda curious how the Sage is gonna be
Goes great with roast pork
Sage is gonna be stylish
You're looking for theories on the new job... look to Final Fantasy 4 we've got a dark knight that became a paladin a dragoon and a sage
i mean yeah~ Shields and lasers goes brrr~ ect

sage gonna be pew pew heal pew pew
Sage gonna be gundam
I thought the sages gonna be a ranged dps..
better than SCH
Gundam glams
I hope scholar gets buffed so its better than sage
good meme
Hahahahahha
they want new Jobs to have high playrate
So Cecil Kain and Tellah
i just switched back from AST to Dancer~ and then they show that bad ass laser healer xD i was like "thx im in a class dilema again"
😔
They said they'll seperate pure healers and barrier healers
Scholar will be a pure healer
...huh
so my AST is gonna be a pure Healer?
So now think of our last party member and what Final Fantasy 4 character would fit a melee DPS
Scholar is barrier healer buddy
i dun think SCH is gonna be a pure healer
same with Sages
5 melee dps, 4 tanks, 4 healers, 4 magic dps and 3 range dps
Astro as barrier healer is jokes
ninja?

i pref pure heal on my Ast~
4 healers
2 barrier
2 pure
it'll be WHM/AST as throughput healers and SCH/SGE as barrier healers
It's obvious
Isnt the rumour that new Melee is scythe?
they already said AST is a barrier healer >:C
yes
Brb, Vtuber cosplay
I hope they call the new DPS executioner
may need to rewatch the announcement video friend 🙂
But I did
Theyre gonna "tune content so it suits 1 shield/1 pure healer"
But we all know that means whm/ast will be superior to any semblance of sch/sge
that....that actually isn't a bad name 
or was it announced in a different stream
And if they use a scythe their rotation must include guillotine
Just ignore yana
why AST should be a barrier healer? Nobody use the Noc spect these days xD
whm/ast will likely have some kind of spells that don't stack that makes bringing both very bad
Pure healers are SCH/WHM and Barrier Healers for AST/Sage
I doubt it
o.o
such as both having some regen that can't stack
If they dont change barriers (which they wont) i doubt theyre gonna touch regen
did they changed their mind or something?
what about barriers? they don't stack either 
Oh, good
I cant use that word
😩
SCH Barriers are usually stronger than AST Barrier
Only Master Healers can become barrier Healers
Thats a good one
AST only has Noct so that SCH can be dropped from groups 🙂
When I heard Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker's Trailer Music, I instantly decided to make it funky.However, because it takes place on the MOON, I thought it needed more space vibes.Thus I present you FFXIV x Daft Punk: Endwalking Around The World.

well except in HW
wait for the full music
Outside of fairy-centered healing
well my guilde mate has the better shields and he mains SCH meanwhile i main ast
it better be good than Shadowbringer
Pretty sure they're going to take nocturnal sect out of the game
ye Noct will be gone
bold considering a) AST/SCH dicks on AST/WHM 2021, and b) WHM's been the one sitting on the benches every expansion AST has been decent
belts are useless D:
Why's ur sch shielding
Astro is free
extra
I can hear the distant cries of Nomura as he drinks himself into a frenzy
stats
"NO BELTS??"
you've spent zero hours farming 6.0 belts.
WHM was only bad in SB. In HW it was WHM/SCH due to party buffs. And now it's WHM/X.
im hoping no one is gonna like "BeltsLifeMatter"
ima spend hours farming u
lulu's dress evaporates
@restive musk well now that you said it
Lulu with no belts
If they do go down the path of making whm/sge greedy healers, AST/SCH is gonna become and stay meta in savage
SCH/AST in HW had potential to group parse better with rng cards, but eh.
Also, can sprouts get their own parties or mentor something >:C
Also don't forget new PLD gonna have two belts
they keep wiping
@gaunt star Sage is barrier healer how are they greedy

Do you have any data to support your assertions or is this going to be yet another patch of people confusing their feelings for facts?
3 patches in a row now.
Raid buffs
apropo mentor thing~ i wish there is a Mentor System like u can accept Students °-°
nothing can outheal a WHM
'whm dicks on the other healers' whm is bottom two comps
Astro has cards, scholar has chain strat (but will probably get more)
Whm doesnt provide any RDPS
I never said "dicks on other healers"
Why do healers have to have Buffs
SGE will probably not provide any RDPS either
Their healers they heal you that is their contribution it doesn't make them greedy
Healers dont have to have buffs
WHM doesnt have buffs
Whm is greedy because it doesnt give anything to the team
Sages would stick those dildo up our asses and heal us per sec
But it gains from party buffs
Other than you know keeping the team alive through heals but that's nothing
Also using Damage parses when the majority of raid comps aren't built on damage parses 
??
And now it's WHM/X.
YOu're right, you only claimed WHM/X was the best comp, not the worst comp.
Protip: The best healer isn't absent in the top comp.
Selfish/greedy dps exist too you know
moves the goalposts back
You can't say they don't contribute to the team when their job is specifically to keep the team alive and to mitigate damage
If you dont have any raid buffs you're a selfish or greedy dps
They dont contribute rdps to the team
I never set the goalposts at "best damage comp"
Thats fact
<sam main
You did lol
👀
(Tanks in general)/SAM/MCH/BLM/WHM are all selfish jobs
None of them have any raid buffs
That's true. You didn't say 'best damage comp.' I don't know what criterion you're using, but it sounds like it's 'what feels best according to my heart' which isn't a metric.
If they're pushing SGE in the same direction as WHM, it'll be the selfish barrier healer whilst WHm will be the selfish pure healer
It's "what people generally choose to use" because that's the only metric SE looks at. Not what you can dig up on FFLogs. And since the general public picks the best healers based on their healing, WHM/AST is currently used over AST/SCH because WHM does more healing.
And then AST/SCH will be the raid buff versions
give BRD a rez 2021
wtf is a BRD
music nerds
Doing more healing is like jerking your dick and calling it promiscuity. Healing 'harder' doesn't make content drop. YOu're either healing enough, or you're not. Once you reach 'enough', you're overhealing.
^
Boy I wish Bard was an actual bard
Not an Archer with a Bard skin
Now, if this game introduces a boss where 'healing more' affects the actual fight positively, then we can use that as a metric.
I dunno why you're trying to flex, but SE doesn't balance Jobs around the top 1% clearing content. they balance it around the middle 80% where the healers don't dps.
Just imagine what Ranger would be like
Sorry if you cannot grasp that concept.
I've not seen a dungeon parse in years where healers don't dps. This isn't ARR and hasn't been for a long time.
Sorry if you think it's ARR still.
'dont dps' was a general term for 'grey parsing'
I can't even dps with tanks not using migitations.
Sorry that nuance in the English language is just too much for you.
Only 25 percent of people grey parse.
By definition.
I'll try to speak as explicit as possible so you can follow.
"middle 80% where healers dont dps"
owo grey parsing?
We're bad but not THAT bad
Well that 'middle 80%' isn't showing up in my DF dungeons either.
Sounds like you're in denial.
Denial of what lol
Also you brought up healing comps--where the 'middle 80%' don't participate.
A WHM spamming Holy in a dungeon isn't the same as the healers who are incapable of weaving in their rotations correctly while raiding.
owo i learned healers should do dps...so i do dps while i dont need to heal
i just think it would be neat if bards could raise
ah yeah~ Bard...my first class just cuz of mobility
Depending on who you're with healers always need to heal
That 'middle 80%' by the way, is that fat bar in the middle of those bars there. That's how bar-and-spoke graphs work
It's called adjusting
Is that at me? Ion even know whats going on anymore
Healers dont always need to heal BTW
I know how to look at Logs. And again you are linking to damage which isn't a determining factor for the majority of players when forming comp.
Show me data showing the 'middle 80%' including zero, and you have a point.
76k WHM parses
I wonder if it would be easier to play healer on gamepad
but yeah AST/SCH is the most popular
You can get through 80% of matoyas relict without having to press a heal once
I mean sure, name content and we'll look at what those healers DO.
You made a claim, let's test it.
WHM has 20k more parses than either other healer
So how is AST/SCH more popular lol
No, it outperforms other comps despite being least popular.
cuz WHM is so eays to play
AstROLLogian
i never said anything about performance

yet again you keep misconstruing what i say
It's not popular because people hate barrier Healers
whm is a starter healer
Because barrier healers require more pre-emptive attention than pure Healers
WHM was only bad in SB. In HW it was WHM/SCH due to party buffs. And now it's WHM/X.
Yes you did.
You actually did.
Ooooooo
uwu make love guys not war here~
No
No
It is WHM/X. WHM is not bad. The fact it has 76k parses proves that.

^this
It out-heals SCH and that is one of the only metrics the average group looks at.
I want a Healer that heals by doing damage
Wait
Also where's that damn meta faq
No, that proves that 76k people don't know how data works.
that reminds me, if adam & eve were the first humans.. then
Did you just compare whm to sch
we're all product
Discipline priest used to do that in World of Warcraft around cataclysm I think
lol
of incests
