I remember going to places and you could get a brand new gaming consoles and even a freaking computer with enough tickets
Lots of mobile games sell gear/characters in gatcha form
I used to go to one where you could buy booster boxes of various trading card games
Pachinko machines and their overwhelming sound
@inner kite yeah have you heard of this one called "Gacha Impact"?
Dissida Opera Omnia is a gacha game
Ofc chinese spy game
Did you know that SE's Gacha games bring in more revenue than XIV does.
if SE makes a virtual card game like hearth stone or shadowverse i could only imagine how much money they would make.
Pretty much any game that isn't gacha and pachinko make less. I think That fate game makes billions, billions its nuts
Gwent
lmao
Pokemon masters makes a metric crap ton of money.
triple triad
Screw triple Triad play gwent
If only people know how absolutely fucking huge gacha is
Tetra Master actually used to be a PlayOnline title
and it was fairly expensive...considering you had to have an active FFXI sub, then had to pay an extra like what was it $2 a month? for tetra master
I thought it had a separate subscription fee
FFXI was a terribly designed mmo..I couldn't get a my character above level 20...because even the most basic enemies required a full party to kill
More grinding you do, more addicted you get
Buyer's remorse
@real swift I love Final Fantasy 11 and I never had a problem with it
I joined after the first expansion and way before the made it easier to party with people.
so I'd spend most of my time in a party finder trying to grind levels, some times waiting 2-3 days before i gave up and just stopped playing
and when I finally got to level 20 warrior, I couldn't find a group good enough to level grind with and ended up going back down to level 18.
You know how you change that
Make your own party
Don't wait for somebody to invite you just take initiative
Tried that, never got more than 2-3 people
I never had that problem and I was from Quetzalcoatl. It wasn't the most populated server
I started playing at a point where nobody was looking to level in that tier everyone was on to the new stuff.
Like, a damn crab, where if you examin it and it says "this creature isn't worth your time it's hardly a threat" can kick your ass when you try to solo it.
that should never have been a thing.
I joined the game just before Treasures of Aht Uhrgan came out
ooh and leveling down, who had that bright idea for the game.
That's how a lot of really old style MMOs were. They weren't for casuals you had to be pretty hardcore to play a game like Final Fantasy 11
WoW wasn't even that agonizing back then...at least you could level up solo and didn't require a party
Depended on your class. I picked up classic when it launched just to remember that priest couldn't do shit on its own
Same thing with shaman unless you were going enhancement
If you wanted to succeed on classic you might as well just played a mage. Root everything then blizzard. Plus everybody loves you because you had access to portals and water
But XI was my first real MMO so that was the standard by which I learned
And I played a Red Mage and everybody loved me
WoW was never that hard for me with it's solo content even back in vanilla or burning crusade..only problem I had with WoW was the toxic community it had.
Because I had access to refresh
See I think you got on XI after they implimented a level sync thing where people of higher levels could join your party and sync down to your level
cause in Rise of Zilart there was no level syncing mechanic, which is prolly why i could never find any one to party with, and actually level up
Like first 10 levels great, but trying to get to 11+ woof...so much time on that blinding ass beach killing crabs.
But I was really good at making parties and then when I made them I made sure to friend those people because you want to keep in touch and make friends with the people in the community
It wasn't one of those games where you run something with somebody and then you part ways never to see each other again you wanted to have as many friends as possible
and waiting endlessly to try and get 4 people to kill said crabs
Not like MMOs today were you just queue up in the Duty Finder speed run that dungeon and then move on to the next group
I dunno i've made a metric crap ton of friends with duty finder
Us being able to just casually chat with people during downtime healing up mp and such was a blast.
Again Final Fantasy XI wasn't for everyone but it didn't make it a bad game
Oh, i'm not saying it was over all a bad game. I just hated how hard it was to get further into it, to actually experience the game.
Yeah like I mentioned it cater to the more hardcore players
Also the leveling down...I hated that so damn much
I was so excited to hit level 20, and get to what was that town Yuno?
only to end up leveling down to 18 after that.
But it felt so rewarding when you got that pay off like my first artifact set
I don't get that same feeling from Final Fantasy XIV especially now they just kind of give it to you after 1 Quest
I'd give XI another chance if I could
I've seen they made changes to make it a bit easier to get further but i don't think it's worth that $14 a month
I actually play on a private server now when I get the chance to
It's set in Treasures of Aht Urgahn era stuff but they included level sync just for convenience-sake
I was working on Thief
That's really the reason why I wanted to go back to it what is because Thief existed lol
XI has been easy to get into since they introduced the trust system
Like 10 years ago
So evem if ur playing solo you wont just die to every mob
XI was designed to waste your time at every possible moment
Yes it was.
It's not a waste of time if you're enjoying it
And players gladly played it because they were dumb kids and could do their homework while they wait for a party or missed the ferry.
You could read a book while playing XI
Okay fuck you too
The entire game moved at a snail's pace
you mean stand there staring angrily at a crab that if you did manage to kill it wouldn't give you any EXP and could nearly murder you in 2 attacks.
I think the melee dps job will be a scythe user but i dont think its going to be called necromancer. Theres alot of clues. Paladin is poster boy on 6.0 and zenos would be representing the opposite affinity. In 4.0 zenos showcased samurai as the melee job. In 5.4 zenos breaks his samurai sword saying he needs a new weapon. Whatever this new job is zenos will most likely be respresenting it and i dont think zenos would be wielding a hammer or a pirate/corsair weapon. And a scythe is very likely and obvious considering it would represent a dark/evil element opposing the warrior of lights good affinity for a epic showdown. Dont forget ranjit had a scythe too so its not out of question. And just becuz botanist uses a scythe doesnt mean they cant put a diff type of scythe into the game for combat jobs. There r many diff types of swords
@gaunt star technically derplander showcase Samurai
ehhh well he did use the samurai weapon tho
we know he gave up the samurai weapon. i cant picture zenos using anything else other than a scythe going forward tbh
bc you are wrong
I think the reason why they gave Warrior a hammer weapon in shadowbringers was to dissuade people from asking for a hammer job
everyone is over thinking
Basically saying " you guys wanted a hammer? There, Warrior gets a hammer."
I hope they actually design more hammers for the warrior so people have glamour options
its will clearly be trickster
i just want a fun job that will replace my main from mch. i like mch but its not complex enuff and its dps is underwhelming compared to other jobs in the top 5-10%. and as of now i sadly dont enjoy much other jobs in the game other than drg
That doesn't feel like it'd be a melee DPS...I think it could be Templar, that is a support Melee DPS that uses auras to buff near by party members
or they are reintroducing Sentinel
I just don't see why they would throw Templar in this particular expansion
i dont see templar
or it could be Pilot
And then how exactly would Templar work mechanically that would separate it from Paladin or Dark Knight
templar doesnt even sound like a dps job
And what kind of weapon would it use because paladins have swords Dark Nights have great swords and dragons have Lance's
It'd be a support DPS gives haste and emboldens those in close range of the boss to deal more damage
But support DPS gravitate towards range DPS
oh god no more full support oriented jobs plz.....dancer ruined fflogs
templar has no place in FF14
Melee DPS are supposed to be the Heavy Hitters
if you want Templars play Crusader Kings
It could be a class that's not returning, but entirely new and exclusive to XIV
corsair starting to make sense
aether weaver
or a curveball none of us could expect to guess
@real swift I've said that before too because they wanted to create something completely original to the franchise
Solder
It could be just simply called Reaper
1st class
its an original class using scythe yay
i think its gonna wield a scythe tho thats my final guess. ill see if im right in may
@next marsh why does Corsair make sense
Well Yoshi P did wear 2 shirts, with grim reapers on them
what does gun job have to do with melee class? 
I'm team reaper
the one he had during the showcase had the words "I'll be there if you need me" Featured a reaper, and had neighborhood on the shirt, as well as hindu text, but i dunno what that said can't read it.
that shirt could be the biggest hint.
Yea no comment was a thing too lol
That text wasn't really Hindu
also they said necromancer too much for it to be necro
andd zenos will be the new job 
well originally no1 was even speculating melee jobs....ppl were so hellbent on a healer called chemist and a magic ranged
The "text" were the letters NBHD (Neighborhood)
Necrooooooo
no
Scyth wielding, enfeebling Melee DPS

On a side note there appears to be a weapon beside Zenos that appears to be the part of a scythe
itll be a scythe user and zenos will be using a scythe....what other weapon culd zenos use that would make sense. he forsoke his samurai playstyle

it looks like the back of the top of a scythe tbh
@real swift why would they add something that provides debuffs when they just scrapped a whole bunch of effects from the other melee jobs
Which leans towards Reaper
If they add Necromancer at any point it'll be a healer.
yeah
Plenty of red lines drawn around that thing
yoshi p doesnt like the idea of the MC using that kind of power 
Zenos becoming a reaper makes sense
yep
Given his love for slaughter
@gaunt star well then it can't be Templar because Templars were known to cause zombification
a dark affinity weapons "scythe" vs warrior of lights good afinity "paladin" for the final showdown. it makes perfect sense
it wont be templar either
its either Reaper or an original job
i agree
its just people are too stuck up on the FF universe to think outside the box
much of the content in 6.0 seems original
Too big for a scythe too small for a scythe, a hammer not a hammer. It turns out it was his walking stick
Also a scythe wouldn't be wholly original either
if it is reaper tho prepare for a massive game imbalance as most ppl will roll into that that play dps jobs.....scythes r infamous for being the most popular weapon choice
scythe no
the class yes
Now what if Zenos ain't gonna be the new class
Since Final Fantasy XIV predecessor Final Fantasy XI had the Dark Knight wielding a scythe
He definitely will be but in the off chance he's not then....hmmm 
I hope the other class is something 14 original, honestly.
They are not dividing tanks into off tank and Main tank
What if it plays like a reverse Red mage, starts off with a hard hitting melee combo then switches to a quick dark themed magical combo
Aethersword class

still betting on Reaper
I'm still going to say Warriors being removed as a tank and places it melee DPS because it sounds just as credible as everybody else's theories
Tanks are in good balance and you want to remove them?
I'm waiting for when we break the level 100 cap, and all our current soul crystals get upgraded.
i mean warrior is boring so they can remove it idc but generally speaking its not happening
If you remove a tank for being a dps why would you pick warrior and not gnb
unless the game gets some sort of large overhaul
At 100 we'll get a mount for each job
Which it wont
That would be dope but I don’t see it
scythe
I said it as a joke because everybody keeps coming up with all these insane theories about the shirts so I said:
Yoshida changed his shirt in the middle of a segment and they implied that the new job will use maiming gear so Warrior will be moved from tank to melee DPS.
it can get one at the right time
To do thay there would be an even bigger lull in content then 2020
im not saying now
well the development got messed up thanks to covid so i have no expectations for the near future
OMG what if the class is called Void Knight, or has something related to the void sent
there's a ton of scythe wielding void sent
i just want it to be an original class simply using a scythe so i can rub it at ppls face at this point
if i wanted to use summons id play summoner
Look...clearly we're gonna be fighting a bunch of voidsent this expack...
its not voidsent..
the dungeon art for one of the new ones looks like the voidark.
except we're not
Demon Hunter straight from WoW
most of the bosses we will fight will probably be creations like Lunar Bahamut
@real swift it's not mhachi
I also guarantee you that Anima is going to be related to the voidsent too
Nioh 2 switch glaive
i know that one Giger-ish place has voidsent vibes, but I think that's just Fandipshit being a Doomer with his aesthetic choices
anima is probably going to be a tower creation
@real swift this expansion is literally about reliving the end day there won't be any voidsent involved
Fandaniel is anima
thats possible too 
and when I say it looks kinda like the void arch, I'm talking about the like gross growthy stuff on it
regardless we have moved past the voidsent
@inner kite I'm pretty sure we solve the mysteries of the Void sent after Mhach and CT
Have you done the new quests in crystarium about saving 13th
wont happen b5 6.1
I still need to get a melee DPS to 80 to do that.
b4**
How about if the raid is placed in the void?
could be
Well, it's not like it's us doing the saving. Unukhalhai wants to do it. We don't have to help him.
Well we don't know
@kind lark we already had a raid that went to the void
fandaniel triggered them in 6.0
It was called the world of Darkness
How we just go there again?
What if pandaemonium is void
now people are obsessed with savin it after Unukulhai mentioned he wants to try
probably not
Panda is probably related to getting rid of lahees creations 
Ok remember what you said cya in 6+ months

Shortening of Pandemonium should totally be Panda
i say what i notice from the story
Ooooh will we get to fight Ifrita?
Ifrita is one of Laha's creations
Could it be the whole moon related thing, could be that what ever monsters caused the final days came from the moon?
what kind of bread is lahabread
toxic
Stale
We fought him for grapes

Crusty
In my opinion Primals in general are some messed up concepts that ended up in lifestream
primals were creatted by the ancients so 
There was a talk about seal on silverlake tear or smth
Yea but they made creatures weaker than primals just for fun though.
yeah
And bahamut realeasing it
but i wouldnt call it a mystery
They didn't start making powerful and dangerous primals until the threat of the worlds end came.
maybe theres more to it than bahamut
For sure there is
and then some of the monsters that caused the final days were things they created from lack of control, due to their own fears and emotional state
maybe?
I wonder though if there is something more powerful out there that invaded their world and thus caused them to create Zodiark and Hydaelyn
cause kinda looking at it... there are some similar traits to Lunar Bahamut and Therion the final boss of Amaurot
Mainly the weird spirally horns close to its wings, and the purple coloring
ye probably they are similarly creatted monsters
Well they were products of a "noise" so
Cthonic bosses incoming?
Yog sothoth when?
Being resistant to the worst part of a primal is also a factor
They could be summoning lakshmis and ifirits and titans left right and center, and them firing their tempering aether blooshes all over the place and people going 'Oh look, it's cute'
I might get a couple of those sweet t-shirts next month
I think I would get eyeballs on me if I walked around with the sin eater shirt

You got to love t-shirts like that the kind of t-shirts you buy in you only wear at your house
I would love to get shirts though with some of my favourite anime characters but I wouldn't be able to walk around town wearing that
Sure you could. Fuck em if they don't like it
One message removed from a suspended account.
They'll meme it and he'll say "So much..."
Then Alisaie cuts him off "Destruction!"
So much... Depredation/destruction/ruin
One message removed from a suspended account.
This must have not been the orignal goal of the garleans
this level of ruination did not match the original intent for which I had started
This current situation is filled with many miscalculations refering to the extent of power that which I have unleashed. This will and has hampered the battle efficacy of my troop and the garlean foothold in Thanalan. This was not accounted for and will now serve as a hinderance to my orignal plans; being of ancient power and harbringer of strife and discord, we shall discuss this situation later under better terms as soon as mine enemies lie broken before me. Now prepare for a reckoning.
Gaius memoirs
It'll be fate description
pray destroy the waking sands
Lahabrea's last horcrux is in the waking sands
I never knew how much I needed Garlemald as a leveling zone til now
Instead of another big city that will become a ghost town once the expansion is over I’d rather they make another leveling/eureka zone
yeah, I don't know why they do the two town thing when one of them is a huge waste
So excited for Pandaemonium
Right now genuinely looking forward to it more than Endwalker itself
One small detail i’d personally liked explained is why we see Hydaelyn and Zodiark as massive crystals XD
imagery maybe?
Crystals are main theme of ff
Yeah but I assume Rakarrak's point is, they weren't crystals at the start
seemingly
So why are they now, aside from classic FF
maybe they dont want us to see that they are joined at the hip
wait
something very important has been forgotten about
what cool outfit will Tataru make us
I'll get the obvious out of the way, she'll make us a astronaut suit
it'll be our ancient costume
Man I remember when the Maelstrom what's the best place for PVP
So I'm pretty sure it's confirmed by other people now but
18/18 is a one time thing
yup
Don't need to do it for your 2nd weapon
So dooooope
Also grats to the Savage clearers on Balmung
Just saw some Cerberus mounts running around
now that people have discovered hidden tech in the new essences, things should go a bit smoother than expected
like CureIV+Elder= 1min long Bravery aoe
yeah rezbot-tank sounds pretty nice (pure indom+sac = no doom for using sac)
also for some healers, you can opt to just stack Arises
since iirc they have a nat 10% chance in Savage
kinda a weird combo since the pure healer one just makes arise rng working in DRsavage
so just throw it all at the wall and see if it sticks
I’m pleasantly surprised at the depth they made on these
it’s no longer BA days where post-pull healers just keep applying spirits and whatever the hecc they brought in
would rather forget that (sacc rng)
tempered
Wait for real?
Haha that's awesome
ye Hedge
what's some of the other new tech
thats the only one I know atm but there’s def more
That's kinda really cool tho
maybe there’s a list out there, lemmie dig
gambler will give 100% good effects on dice
Fragment List

Indomitable + Sacrifice = No doom sac
Fiendhunter + Cure II = Slow for mp regen
Elder + Cure IV = AoE bravery
Divinity + Arise = Chance to raise```
Ooooh
these are pretty neat
I can’t wait until endwalker comes out. Though I haven’t got to shadowbringer yet.
endwalker brainworms are in
spoilers are abundant in here for shb
Bruh. Why isnt this pinned?
Take my money
the next melee class is going to use nunchunks
Is msq roullete viable if you could grind
bozjan instead?
oh whoops wrong channel
It's extra exp/potentially 70% of a level so
Yeah it's like 20-45 minutes for like 3/4ths of a level
It's a VERY good value if you have time
Well this wouldn't be the channel for it
Light Rampant 3
Light Rampart -4
Light Rampant XIV
Rampant's 14
Lunar Rampant
Light Bahamut Lunar Rampant
Spell in waiting rampant
Can't wait for them to release the endwalker theme
"Eeeeeeeaaaaeeeeeaaaa"
EXACTLYYYY
Its not the sammeeeeee
It's like the Sephirot theme all over!
(Not that the Sephirot theme is is really a full on copy of the Powerman 5,000 song, but the verses man... Soken was definity influnced.)
I mean...
Its pretty damned close
This video plays the Powerman 5000 song "When World Collide" and the FFXIV "Sephirot Phase 2 Battle Theme" at the same time. Powerman 5000 is your left ear and Sephirot is your right. Headphones are recommended.
I have sped the play speed of Sephirot Battle theme up by 4 BPM (from 140 to 144) to match the tempo of the Powerman 5000 song - this ...
by generic industrial. When Worlds Collide isn't exactly innovative in its own genre.
I've flailed my arms and shaken my asscheeks too much at tattooed rivetgirls and gofflings in poorly lit nightclubs in my youth to not hear a little everything in it.
Like I said... The verses are pretty damn close. The rest goes on its own.
I sometimes miss my goth club days.
In that it follows a typical grunge progression of soft soft soft heavy heavy heavy but that's about it
Are you me?
lol
Ah the days of trying for find that Adult. song you heard and trying NOT to find porn
'No no this is not what I asked for'
'Fuck it I'll download Voltaire'
Pandaemonium logo is cool, with the M being the bottom of Lahabrea's mask
Panda
I still cant figure out what they could possibly call the scythe job
Reaper?
reaper, harvester umm
Reaper RPR
I'm having trouble thinking of mechanically how either a reaper like job would work (what skills it would use beyone the 1-2-3 combo) or a templar style job with ethnic sword sword
under the assumption it used drg left side
Also the sage music is very Jazzy it's reminds me of amaruot its gonna be used for another ancient dungeon
I really think this new melee job won't have Positionals but will have a different priority system for its rotation
Somebody said something about how melees are about resources and what if they make this new melee about stages like Summoner
Ranjit
The music is awesome! Can't wait to hear more
Real curious about all the Monk changes. Really hope its a Tifa Monk
Tifa has positionals to tho
Yep but its way more fun
my hopes for xenogears style deathblows were killed off by 5.4 so maybe that?
People always say Ranjit but he was like... a Monk
Just sucks we won't get like a Media Tour/Job action trailer until like August maybe
I dont even remember him using a Scythe
Which was Maiming gear
Ditto
same
Imagine if it became the Monk of Maiming, ruining Dragoon fashion forever onwards
I honestly hope all old jobs get more rework
Seems like new jobs are always awesome at launch
Minus HW new jobs
I want to make an Azwel cosplay with sage. Using the HoH or PoTD weapons
Ranjit had a familiar made from his own aether that he could combine with
Amaurot couldve been perfect for a deep dungeon imo
I hope we get a new one in Endwalker
Only this time I hope they make it more arcadish
Yeah I want a new deep dungeon too 
Don't think we'll get one with rona and everything
For 6.0?
Yeah
I feel like we just wouldn’t get one cuz they don’t want to do them anymore
I feel like they’re just going to do another bozja
It's quite resource straining for them to make one
Bozja is like boring version of eureka for me, would prefer a deep dungeon 100%
What primal is coming in 5.5?
yeah ex
Diamond Weapon is 5.5
the final weapon?
yes
Zenos data
I'm actually glad because Omega Ultimate...idk the Omega raids weren't all that great compared to Alexander imo
Whens the last time we even had a primal
Yeah ALex was pretty epic
omega raids seemed better then ||eden||
Sos i gues
I'm guessing the gwiber mount is gonna be white?
at least the ||O12 ||
Honestly I wouldn't mind they just take bosses from 24 raids instead of omega raids
you still got weekly quests for nier after this so
I understand people not enjoying the story but the raid itself is a lot fun imo
Unless Ishgard housing has lots of snow I'm not worried about gil xD
Tell everybody keeps pointing out that shot of the warrior of light and his shoulder looking like a dwarf
But what if it is a mammet or an automaton?
Melee job Puppetmaster
Can i use WoL beard on Midlanders? 
I just have a real bad feeling about Datacenter travel
not yet
It's funny you call it a beard
It will become a beard, given time
Yes in time it will become a beard but that is no beard right now
It's a beardling
Facial hair vs no facial hair. Hmmm for our guy I vote facial hair
When I stroke the beard thusly
Wish we could have daddy ramuh's beard
We've had an entire expansion now
Where they've been aware people want the WoL stubble
It's time Yoshi, 6.0, WoL stubble.
Replace the chin strap if you have to
If they would give proper facial hair to the male character creation options, maybe i'd consider playing one
lol
Me knowing you alreadly can have a beard with the santa outfit
A fine full dignified beard.
One that commands respect and projects thoughtfulness and dignity
When I stroke the beard thusly do I not appear more intellectual
The stubble from the SHB trailers is in the game
They duplicated Hyur face 5 for WoL and replaced the Chin beard with the stubble, it's like Face 248 or something.
It has all the other optional face options for Face 5 as well, the stubble changes color with hair and it can be turned on/off like other face options.
The only reason that I can see for us not having it currently is that they don't know how to add new face options to existing faces.
Yeah, nobody likes the chin beard over the stubble, and no one would use the pedo stache
Atleast I'd hope not
You trust the human race far better than I do @rough kestrel
What he needs is a full dignified beard
Ramuh beard or gtfo
And an emote so he can stroke the beard thusly
If they can also add like Ran'jit's Asian beard or something that would be ok too
You mean a fu manchu?
His is an entire model we’re not getting that one
We have gotten NPC hair before so plsss
Alternatively a really long beard so I can cosplay Guan Yu with a Highlander
Beard braids
Ranjit was a Highlander
On lala
So we wouldn't get that kind of hair on a midlander
I want to cosplay thorin
You can resize models before you implement them... but Midlander doesn't look exotic enough yes
Highlanders have a similar option already
tbh I was expecting to get an old man trope character like this when we went to Doma 
Does Ran’jit count? 😅
WoL fall before Zodiark as nothing they do work against Zodiark
Hyda: This is the last time I can assist you WoL. I reveal Zodiark's true form
"Zodiark transforms"
A horrendous monster appears
Hyda: Good luck WoL
He's like the only one tho, and the First equivalent of Doma is like ded ded
A quick shout-out to Soken
Will we get a canon wedding?
inb4 hes a Hunk of muscles
Would be shocked if we get a romance option lol
Doubt they will give us a Persona feature
I would take NPC weddings too
I feel like after multiple wars and conflict, someone should probably get hitched and be happy
The Hrothgar mustache disturbs me
They have mustaches?
yes
more like overgrown whiskers
How do Hrothgar reproduce?
Do the females not exist, and they kidnap a femroe?
Can male Hrothgar reproduce with each other?
With literally no information in the game given, how do I formulate this in my head? How can they even exist?
then there was that guy at Bozja
parthenogenesis
Asexual reproduction

Mitosis
You know the devs 10 to avoid any discussions on reproduction in their game
Because they've been asked before about the different races crossbreeding which was weird

lalafells on the otherhand get planted on the ground and they grow up to be bigger potatoes 
I think they just said that the main races were compatible with one another and then left the chat 

Really? Cause SE sure as shit wrote extremely detailed reproduction lore about Sunseekers so weird furries can erp as harem masters.
@obsidian pagoda they said they were cultural reasons why the races wouldn't intermingle like that
There is, but in terms of strictly biology they are compatible. The hung ups are all society
Maybe the Hrothgar are like the Galka
The hangs up are the Ratings board
Reborn through a form of reincarnation
Budding
The femroe is probably placeholder for Queen because they know in their heart of hearts if they make even one female model for that race the entire Community will breathe down their necks
I mean figure you're just suppose to extrapolate that female hrothgar do exist even if you dont see them and they breed like any other race, by ||Praying for a stork to bring a child||
Usually these things dont need confirmed answers because you should just assume everything in Eorzea fucks
And leave it at that
Maybe they're like the Gerudo from Legend of Zelda
Cabbage patch
that one miqote in Thanalan has like an entire village of catgirls to himself
Originally Gerudo were only female with a male being born once every hundred years they reproduce by mating with other Hylians outside of their village in an Amazonish fashion.
That seems highly impractical from an evolutionary standpoint
You're forgetting that this is a fantasy world and that your real-world logic has no place in it
I can accept it as a thing in the context of "There use to be alot more dudes but the race has mostly died out, so this is how we get our jollies now"
Considering what's happening to y chromosome, it quite possible future

We'll wipe each other out before that
Maybe we can find a Hrothgar irl and ask him how they breed and reproduce
It just happens
Yeah this conversation about the Hrothgar and reproduction seems dangerously close to, if not already into, furry territory.
It's a hairy situation
Yoshida: Breathes
FFXIV: WEN MALE BUNNY?
To represent the prison Yoshida put himself in?
No one has thyme for that
I wonder how sage's LB3 look.
It probably won't involve the Nouliths

@gaunt star what's that fourth one?
So I'm flying in Mor Dhona and is this orange globe the ship in the endwalker trailer?
1.0 Ascian
Since we know endwalkers will prob have ff4 references, the real question is
Are the twins going to be turned to stone?
oh god somehow they were edgy.
@white rose no but they're going to get stoned

They are in every intro
all of them
@rough kestrel wherever you are they are
Yeah and that merchant dude and his brothers
I was destined to meet Alisaie
Yeah thats why I originally was like "They're gonna turn out to be part of you like the DRK storyline, only more long term" because we never saw them in CG until now
the Scions you meet changes depending on City though
Lyse/Dead Idiot are Gridania. Thancred is Ul'dah.
Funny how you call him idiot when he was probably the smartest of the bunch
I thought you were calling Lyse dead idiot
He was Louisouix's protoge
I forgot papalymo existed
I mean he died doing exactly the same thing louisoix did
He had a crush on lyse
All I remember of Papalymo now is his 1.x animations
Oh yeah, merchant brothers
Imagine if he hadn't of intervened and bought the other Scions time to combat an Elder Primal level threat
thinking about it...yeeeah the Scion's haven't mentioned much of Papalymo since he sacrificed him self...like they've talked more of moenbryda than papalymo, and he died trying to protect everyone.
You know Google is full of ass
Wol would have an extreme trial. And zenos would be sad
How can it not tell Scions from "Saiyans"?
Lyse mentioned him a billion times in Stormblood to be fair
Yea, but that's Lyse...everyone else seems to at this point forget he existed.
I don't even remember anyone talking about Moenbryda past HW
oh maybe when they talked about the white auracite
okay
They did once i think
Urianger definitely
Urianger is crying in the corner
Oh maybe that reference by Shtola was Moenbryda and not Pap lmao
@inner kite Shinryu would have blown up half the world right there and then. Papalyamo bought them time to plan a way to combat it. Absolutely nobody was ready for Bahamut when it was at full strength
Which is why the Calamity happened
Oh well ultimate trial
Meonbryda has come up a few times
I only know because I go
"Who?" everytime
And google her name
@Arcadis#4287 so how come the Warrior of light couldn't fight a fully powered Bahamut to prevent the 7th umbral calamity?
I think they just got rid of annoying character and death is ideal emotion baiting aka profit making
Like haurchefant
That wasn't the WoL in 1.0 was it
Or maybe it's because not enough pieces of Azem had rejoined
The issue was they werent prepared
The bahamut we fight in Coils is not the same as that thing rampaging
But that is the WoL, poster boy is a legacy player.
The goal was to make shinryu a bahmut level threat, meaning something that the WoL could not just walk up and fight. By the time you even fight shinryu in stormblood it's already weakened by its fight with Omega
True but merged with zenoose
Meanwhile we're about to go punch an elder primal in the face on the Moon
And we just kicked the crap out of zenos beforehand
Yeah by possibly merging with another Elder primal
Mecha elder primal fight
We don't know exactly how the warrior of light is going to fight either of them
Godzilla vs king kong
mechagodzilla sucks 
Godzilla and king kong fused!
Either we merge with one to fight the other or we become fully restored as Azem, Defender of Grapes, and smack both.
With grapes
inb4 we merge with zodiark and zenos hydaelyn
that would be interesting.
inb4 there is not merging with an elder primal, and we end up fighting both hydaelyn and zodiark fused together

It would actually make sense too
inb4 they had both already died
Oh fuck
Zodiark is the original Will of their star. The purpose of its summoning was to protect itself (the star) by rewriting the laws.
Hydaelyn's purpose was simply to oppose that will by sundering Zodiark and by extention the entire star.

Both sides believe what they're doing is the right thing. But they could both be equally wrong
In typical smt/ff fashion
Which would be why Azem chose neither side.
Because neither side thought about the benefit of grapes
No
Sounds like new pokemon
:^)
moonshaunted.jpg
shitposting aside, Hydaelyn will fade naturally at this point. shes exhausted. Zodiark is going to be the real fight.... IF he wants to fight us. I suspect that wont be the case
@onyx sundial hard to dye accessories if they get removed later on
Well earrings, rings, wrists are staying
Gaius Zos Baelsar when? also im down for more acc
For now
And yoship did say that theyre staying cause fashion
they looked at it yes.
i personally feel we only need one ring slot but as long as we get those extra ring slots im good
im almost always out of space because im to lazy to level everything

I just Glam the emperor's new ring because the Rings look stupid
Also it's annoying when you get that special ring which you can only have one of
i flex the platinum band baby OwO
So its really not going anywhere really

How about putting the rings on your ring finger instead of your index finger like a five year old with a Ring Pop
Okay apparently there's a kind of symbolism involved with having the ring on your index finger
It still doesn't make it any less silly imo but here it is
The pointer or index finger represents leadership, authority and self-esteem. A ring on the index finger on the active hand reflects confidence, self-esteem, and leadership qualities. At the same time, wearing a finger ring on the index finger of the passive hand indicates acceptance of leadership from people around.
But then if you have a ring on both index fingers how does that work?
Unlimited Power
They balance each other out
So you are a leader and a follower all at the same time?
You're neutral
You are indifferent
More wepon slots is a godsend
The only thing that matters is grapes
Bacchus grapes
g r a p e s
Just wear it where ever who cares
Ingame is on the same finger bc it's easier
it's probably easier for them to keep it in one place also - hands are a pain to animate
If the grapes are really that good on a sundered star imagine how they taste if the world was fully rejoined
Warrior of Grapes
We need grape crystals, elder primal grape crystals
How come nobody's ever asked Yoshida about the whole grape thing
Like it just sounds like a pretty selfish reason to risk summoning a primal
They didn't think much of primals at the time
"You could have died or caused more damage than the eruption would have."
"...I was hungry."
I think azem just used grapes as an excuse to save the village
Actually that sounds like a very Goku thing
Goku would risk it all for food
Because you know those Saiyans eat a LOT
They prob need a lot of energy given how big they were
What if azem is like goku, half alien half ancient( actually goku is 100% saiyan -.-)
Shes a strong alien
Azem is supposed to be "unique" for an ancient.
Unique for a convocation member
All the other ancients are content with just watching the world pass them by, Azem prefers actually doing shit
I'm pretty sure being willing to help others is not a trait limited to just Azem
like you know
Azem's friends
The way Emet spoke about their people it seems there were very little differences between them.
Smth like communist system
They just didn't fight over anything and preferred to discuss and debate and come to consensus but very seldom take action.
well that's the point of a post scarcity society
nothing to argue over
because there's plenty of everything
Which is probably why Azem took to traveling the world outside of Amaurot
it's like Star Trek
Because maybe people in other parts of the world had different ways of thinking
And Azem was curious
I still think Emet was speaking more of the Ancients on Amaurot, not the world as a whole.
Yup ppl lived in villages too
Remember the one Quest where you took part in a debate between two ancients
what point are u trying to make
The debate was over either offering Aid to a neighboring Nation across the sea or to remain isolated and mind their own business
I'm just curious about what other parts of the world were like in the unsundered version of the star. What made Azem that "breath of fresh air" to the Convocation that they clearly couldn't see in any other among their people.
It's not that Azem was a breath of fresh air
Azem was designed to be that way
like Hythlo said in 5.3
that was the responsibility of that office
not what Azem decided to do
Azem was supposed to not intervene
?
Just scout
Azem did many things contrary to what they were told to do, so I believe that "freshness" came out of their personality not out of functions of their office
As the seats on the Convocation were given to those best suited for the roles they represent, this implies that Azem had a bit of wanderlust, was generally a helpful person and was gifted in combat. They preferred to solve the problems they were to encounter by their own hand, rather than referring it to their colleagues in the Convocation, and more often than not gathered friends and allies from the local area to assist them.
he definitely tried to solve the world's problems
Seems like helping others was in line with with duties of the office
so
idk where you're getting that non-interventionist thing from
We don't get any detailed info about duties of their office except for "gaining knowledge of wider world", we get info about what they did. Which may or may not be the same. It's my own speculation based on Amaurot lore so far that they were closed up society, and azem's job was gathering info without intervening
From the short story, Emet and Elidibus didn't seem to care much that he tried to stop the volcano, only that the reason for it was kinda dumb lol
The convocation preferred to just watch the events of the volcano eruption unfold. Azem however chose to take action to prevent it because of tasty grapes that grew in that area
An action that Emet was disappointed with.
it’s been datamined by my cousin’s uncle, who’s dog works at nintendo
mah boys
we in the moon
Fake

Don't post that
it's for laughs
It's literally them just running around OOB in the moon zone that already exists in game
maybe you need to find better jokes
or you need to get better humour
@forest magnet if you can't read the description and not tell that it was meant as a joke...
Datamined by my cousin's Uncle whose dog works at Nintendo
all jokes aside.. this is a pretty neat glitch

Zodiark glyph and statue
@obsidian pagoda Elidibus didn't have issues with Azems reasoning, he actually admired Azem.
I'm only wondering how we'll be able to breathe on the moon
because he was a kid
they said there's air on the moon
problem solved
oh, cools
Elidibus was a kid who thought Azem was cool and wanted to be just like them.
what Elidibus' qualification is i don't even know
that's the biggest question is
why tf they put a kid on the convocation
He was a little man with a big heart Maybe
But it is said the convocation doesn't just slap people in a seat without any reason they usually have something in their personality that qualifies them for the position
He was too young to know any better and Emet didn't have the heart to tell Elidibus that Azem sometimes did dumb things
Which is why Azem got the seat they did. It's implied they had a bit of Wanderlust
Maybe Eli was really good at PR, being an emissary and all
which again,
why was he on there to begin with
couldn't they get someone older
But he wasn't the way he was because it was his station he was put on his station because of the way he was
definitely not a kid genius
Bigger mystery is why is his robe different from everyone else! 
i don't think
What do you think then
Cause his Emissary office always has the white robe
It had nothing to do with Duty it had everything to do with who he was and how he did things
that's just his uniform
Hmm..
Perhaps something to do with kids naivity and affinity towards goodness, but then they could have chosen any kiddo
The end was coming, and almost everyones dead.. so they chose whoever they could find and it happened to be elidibus

Elidibus was Emissary. So something about him.
Wasn't it Azem who was actually concerned that Elidibus was too young for a seat?
not to mention short
Think it was implied someone was, but they never stated who
Wasnt logrif supposed to be zodiark's heart ? Speaker's office was unrelated function
Or did I miss something
It's never actually said he was a child just that he was the youngest in the convocation so they refer to him as youth or young man
Given that ancients for practically immortal and we don't understand how their aging works we don't know exactly what is considered a "child"
Considering how tiny he is after wol trial don't believe he had many years under his belt
relatively speaking
Again we don't understand how their aging process works
True
It could be that to them 500 years old is still a kid
Wol size is considered a child tho lol
well yeah cause they're all like 3x our height, or x10 if you're a Lala
Eli is smaller than most wol races so he's a kid probs
But again he might have that size but he might still be 100 years old
*sorry was a kid
So yes in their mind he's a kid but you would still have a hundred years of experience
Certainly ascian eli has thousands of years already
he still has the naiveity of a kid
Ascian Eli? I wouldn't say that
It says "Elidibus earned his peers' respect despite their initial impression of him, Elidibus tending to overwork himself and seeming too kind for his position."
he was an Azem stan
to the point where he literally LARP'd as us
for the final battle
Ascian Eli isn't really naive, but he has degrading memory and kinda gets really unstable towards the end
He admired all the other members of the convocation
He admired us the most tho
Elidibus is most definitely an Ascian
Emet found it both endearing and embarrassing
Basically they just cringe cause Eli is the youngest and does young people things like looking up to his seniors
Loghrif was supposed to be the first Sacrifice, Zodiarks heart
maybe ancients, amourotians age differently?
they're immortal
So
for the sake of comparison
we'll compare them to Dragons
who take a few centuries to come of age
There's examples in all sorts of Games books and TV
They can live" nigh for eternity". Pretty damn long but not immortal
Elidibus in the JP text is referred to with a term that specifically means young man as opposed to actual child/adolescent
He's still way younger/less experienced than the rest but not an actual child
More like a grad student being put on a UN council or something
So he was short, since wol who is taller than him gets to be called a child
@gaunt star correct
@inner kite no different than a 40 year old still calling a 20 year old "kid"
Or perhaps it's a matter of localization/translation
Yeah you'd def offer a 20yr to go search for their parents
Maybe that was their way
I don't think Elidibus as he appears after being given the mega-yeet at the top of CT should be taken as an accurate depiction of his actual appearance
@gaunt star that could also be a possibility
Emet stayed the same size curiously
Is it more that he's the size of a hyur youth cause that was the last form he took?
Also he was on his knees when we knelt down before him so maybe he looks different when standing upright
He's also portrayed as sort of a foil for G'raha, who is 24 at the time of the CT raids
Unless there are 3 lala and a stool under that hood ,nope
i would had punched the tiny ghost elidibus
The rains have ceased and we have been blessed with another beautiful day
A young man

Is a boy a younger man ?
No he's a boy
A boy is a younger young man
it would had been more impactful if they used a kids voice aswell
because a kid with a deep voice
is sus
Ok elidibus is younger young man
Get my axe boy
i'd cry 10x harder
Ditto
But it was established that he's not a kid that he's actually just a youth or young man
That is what they referred to him as
They did not refer to him as a child so therefore he is not a boy he is a young man
Kinda think that's just localization
Who originally wrote the script
But that's your opinion and I respect it
They changed haurchefant completely, so my version is the english one unfortunately
