Ohhhhhh

[inner kite]

Lizard-horsebird

[barren karma]

it's beautifull @_@

[bold condor]

OH

THE FUCKING FLOATING ISLAND PLACE IS PROBABLY MYSIDIA. DUH, ROMMY.

[pale shuttle]

wait...... if i have ffxiv do i have to purchase end walker pre order from steam??? sincei bought my endwalker standard from square enix rn

and when i typed int he code into mog station it says "invalid code"

[inner kite]

Yeah...lol

[visual spade]

Isn't Sharlyan Mysidia?

[pale shuttle]

fucking hell lol i guess i have to refund it and buy it from steam

[barren karma]

I have no idea why Squeenix has such an arcane account system

[bold condor]

No.

[visual spade]

but...

[hot kraken]

isnt the floating island they shown the place for the farming area where we take our minions?

[crystal arrow]

No.

[visual spade]

Its got magic and crystals

[barren karma]

Do we all get a faming minion place? Or do we have to fight over them like houses >_>

[bold condor]

They name-dropped Mysidia in the Lunar Whale mount lore, and now I'm thinking that's where it's referring to.

[inner kite]

What if Mysidia is what moon used to be

[visual spade]

ohhhhh

[pale shuttle]

wait how do i get the pre order refunded i am confusion

[bold condor]

What it used to be?

[pale shuttle]

I didn't claim the code at all yet

[hot kraken]

i wouldn't say we would fight for plots id say there would be a limit of how many we took out at once xD

[bold condor]

The unsundered world didn't have a moon, for the record.

[visual spade]

They built the moon

[bold condor]

No, Hydaelyn made it to bind Zodiark.

[visual spade]

Yeah, she built the moon

[spring arch]

You might be out of luck on the refund. Hopefully you can find someone down the road to trade codes with.

[bold condor]

yeye fake moon

[inner kite]

What if moon was part of hydaelyn but got split up

[visual spade]

Out of mochi and magic.

What about Dalamud

[teal geyser]

Man made

Fucking Allagans

[hot kraken]

was made to seal away bahamut wasn't it? x3

[barren karma]

What if the moon is made of cheese..... O-O

[visual spade]

Ascians: Slaps moon this baby can hold so many Primals

[hot kraken]

xDDDD

[jade phoenix]

japan has always been a bit behind with online/web stuff (especially easy to see with fighting game netcode lol)

[teal geyser]

To harness energy from the sun better yeah

[hot kraken]

yea

[severe brook]

I mean I would presume the moon didn’t exist pre-sundering and then the chunk of earth that contained Zodiark was ejected and made into each Shard’s moon

[inner kite]

I think Hydaelyn didnt make moon but rather cut a piece of planet

[teal geyser]

That's still making the moon thooo

[inner kite]

Lol ok

[visual spade]

Two things

[severe brook]

It’s shaping part of the planet into the moon, as opposed to just conjuring a new moon out in space

[visual spade]

1: Lunatic Pandora when? 2: Lunar Cry!??!?!

[barren karma]

But ok what if the moon is made of Cheese and Zodiark is trying to eat his way out and getting more and more constipated and angry... @_0

[severe brook]

Lunar Cry could even be 5.55

[hot kraken]

loporrits race when??!?? x'3

[soft gyro]

you know this community is struggling when you need a preorder guide.

[visual spade]

We still don't know what cased the Ancients' world to fall apart

But it appears to be happening again. That much is certain.

Sharlyan must know the secret.

[spring arch]

Graha is probably reading about it

[inner kite]

Why do think sharlayan would know

[visual spade]

Graha is reading fanfiction

[bold condor]

The woman's expression

L-Lahee...? I thought he was joking

[maiden lodge]

Soken is a fuckin cryptid and we NEED to protect this chicken consuming man

[gaunt star]

is there a summarized version for the whole fanfest? haha

[teal geyser]

Not as fast as the artists making fanarts

[visual spade]

Soken is the true successor to Uemetsu

[bold condor]

I bet Husky busted a nut when he realized the extended trailer was MOSTLY songs he's already learned.

Like "oh shit I can knock this out TONIGHT"

[strange wing]

Nothing will top Sage fanart being drawn and colored during the reveal

[teal geyser]

I still bust a nut at uh
STORM OF BLOOD
BORN FROM BLOOD
OF OUR FALLEN BROTHERS
ETC

[bold condor]

SAME

[teal geyser]

BORN FROM BLOOD
STAINED IN RED
BOUND BY BLOOD

[strange wing]

Man the last boss of EW is gonna be hype

[maiden lodge]

it was sooooo bad in the best way, the man gives NO fucks

[teal geyser]

I like how they cut out all the Rhalgr sections of Stormblood basically and just added in new lyrics to fit this

[visual spade]

Born from nuts
Stained on bread
its peanut butter

[dull atlas]

Just saw LaHee...

[jade phoenix]

as soon as 6.0 drops every elezen that used this face will vanish

[visual spade]

Stormblood was an Uemetsu theme iirc

[dull atlas]

That's a lot of cocaine.....

[barren karma]

Awww poor fail son

[bold condor]

It was not.

"Revolutions" was.

[teal geyser]

^

[dull atlas]

*checking vids. Wait..... We're getting vids for mounts?

That's a horse with a tail.

[teal geyser]

horses have tails

[barren karma]

Hrmmm should I risk pre-ordering now or wait untill things calm down o_O

[soft gyro]

horses have tails?

[jade phoenix]

oh man

[dull atlas]

LIZARD TAILS

[tidal mauve]

xiv horse girls

[kind lark]

I mean it might not be a horse so..

[jade phoenix]

what will endwalker's title screen look like

[dull atlas]

https://youtu.be/r2wCRUGi2Ec

[orchid plinth]

Day 2 female hrothgar

[dull atlas]

I mean, it's cute...... Ish

[visual spade]

oh not the same theme?

[severe brook]

I would guess a view of the planet from the lunar surface

[kind lark]

Its got a crimson chin

[viscid monolith]

No, that's like saying Heavensward and Dragonsong are the same song

[visual spade]

they...they're not...?

[teal geyser]

Oh my God hang on

[dull atlas]

*dungeon crawl. THE DOORS HAVE TEETH. WHY THE DOORS HAVE TEETH? WHY?

[tulip geyser]

To protect the tongue ofc

[barren karma]

I admit I'll miss logging into the "Foooorrrrrrrrr....fighting forrrrrrrrr......."

[jade phoenix]

i really liked the little animation of the stormblood title theme

[white rapids]

So anything else data mined from the fanfest?

[kind lark]

Can't you change it to previous expac? the menu

[dull atlas]

2nd dungeon...
.. That screams "weapon"

[jade phoenix]

can't datamine something we got no files from

[teal geyser]

That's not the lyrics though lol

[white rapids]

You got the video?

[barren karma]

@teal geyser I knwo but my brain hears that

[teal geyser]

The fuck you going to datamine out of a video?

[jade phoenix]

all the videos from the fanfest are in the top comment of this thread

[bold condor]

Home, riding home.

[jade phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ncmy5s/digital_fan_festival_2021_day_1/

[white rapids]

Dm I’ll share some

[dull atlas]

Aren't all the vids on ff account anyway?

[teal geyser]

Yeah but it doesn't save the menu so it you have to do it each time you log in it sucks

[lucid sedge]

stormblood title screen is the best to me

[kind lark]

thats dumb, why is it even a option then.

[jade phoenix]

same

[barren karma]

@bold condor That's what it says?! I swear my head in permanent 'misheard lyrics mode...." o.o

[lucid sedge]

something about the way the brass goes then you have the drums continuing on

[tidal mauve]

the next title screen should just be more intense

[gaunt star]

sate sate sate, best one is endwalker

I LIKED Stormblood.

[lucid sedge]

stormblood logo too, it's just great

[barren karma]

...I need to get my medication re-adjusted LOL -_-

[teal geyser]

Stormblood has a nice splash of art but the fucking drums and trumpets will forever give me PTSD. It killed me a little bit to hear that every time I logged in.

[gaunt star]

^^^^

[dull atlas]

https://youtu.be/unu9dXOtWgQ WHEEEEEEEEEEEE I LOVE IT.

[lucid sedge]

thou art weak

[teal geyser]

logs in and is IMMEDIATELY BLASTED WITH PRECUSSION AND BRASS

[bold condor]

I mean, Home riding home isn't much better in that regard, tbh.

[lucid sedge]

percussion and brass are the best bits of the orchestra and always get shafted by composers so I love soken for making use of them

[teal geyser]

You're entirely right Rommy but it's still not as bad as you said

[bold condor]

I'm hoping EW's is a bit more lowkey.

[gaunt star]

I just realized where I recognize all those capsules on the wall from

[teal geyser]

Yeah HW had the nicest music and art. It was very chill but also foreboding

[jade phoenix]

do you guys think we're getting the job action trailer tonight

[gaunt star]

They store Generated Creations of the Aumarotions.

[barren karma]

The devs should play a prank some April fools and replace the login music with a choir of kazoos

[teal geyser]

no there is 0 likelihood they never show those this early

[rotund lake]

@jade phoenix nah it will probably be way later

[crystal arrow]

Not creations, concepts to create from.

[vivid notch]

I don't think the job actions are finished finished lmao

[open verge]

https://youtu.be/TImbY9x-Eeg

[gaunt star]

Au Ra: They do both, because you fight the same capsules in Anyder

[vivid notch]

I think they still need a visual pass

[dull atlas]

Aka primals.

[barren karma]

Or do what EverQuest 2 did one april fools and had the lead dev team sing the intro song on the login....that was hilarious

[lucid sedge]

I wish you could choose which title screen you start up the game to or if you could have it on a rotation

[jade phoenix]

as far as menu music in games go i've always like the way dark souls 2 did it, where the music started when you pressed start instead of blaring immediately

[gaunt star]

@lucid sedge you can

[jade phoenix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg2IGTQsvZY

[barren karma]

You can?

[crystal arrow]

And they're concepts used to create things from then, as well.

[jade phoenix]

the way soul calibur 6 does its menu music is also pretty nice

[gaunt star]

Yes. It's on the main menu options.

[dull atlas]

Radtz At Han is just India.

[gaunt star]

You can change the banner and the trailer.

[lucid sedge]

Wait I thought you could only see the other title screens by watching the trailer

[jade phoenix]

its sort of like a big mixing pot of india and a lot of miscellaneous middle eastern themes

very unique to say the least

[teal geyser]

This is reminding me of the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel song where they got a fuck ton of fans to sing a portion and

[barren karma]

@teal geyser OMG yes!

[teal geyser]

No not by watching a trailer, you just set the menu from one of the main menu options

[gaunt star]

Well, Eorzea sang Dame Da Ne.

but that was a Wombo video

[maiden lodge]

So looking at the multi-biome dungeon in the crawl

[dull atlas]

https://youtu.be/umBoW_nTLUc. OKAY, THIS IS INTERESTING.......

Is this new housing?

[crystal arrow]

no?? it's just a new area

[lucid sedge]

I can see myself turning the music off in labyrinthos if it's an actual zone

[maiden lodge]

No that's a new zone, an underground dome

[jade phoenix]

nah its an underground biodome

[dull atlas]

Wait what?

[teal geyser]

https://youtu.be/Zl_-2CcQkrw?t=291

[lucid sedge]

damn guess I'm turning the BGM off in labyrinthos

[jade phoenix]

(replied to wrong person)

[maiden lodge]

The multibiome dungeon seems to be elemental

[cosmic bobcat]

@lucid sedge if it uses the music in the video then same. It's so bad

[tidal mauve]

I like the clown music

[dull atlas]

Wait underground where? The moon?

[lucid sedge]

it's fun at first but after a bit that'll get mad annoying

[jade phoenix]

something tells me that BGM is a temporary thing that will change when the veil is pulled back, so to speak

[maiden lodge]

Your lava, your frozen, your earth area, your fire.

[barren karma]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO7libAhSXg

[gaunt star]

whats the myths of realm in the artwork on the ew site

[teal geyser]

Well it looks kinda Sharlayan so I assume Sharlayan somewhere

[crystal arrow]

Just underground. We don't know where. Probably near Sharlayan.

[maiden lodge]

24 man dungeon

[lucid sedge]

I wanna see another chill tune like Amh Araeng, hands down best zone music

[dull atlas]

The music sounds more like..... Farm stuff?

[teal geyser]

It's....something

[gaunt star]

did they already say like what its about? haha

[teal geyser]

The Twelve, the end

[crystal arrow]

I dig the music, personally - sounds super artificial and kinda fake, fits the theme of the zone

[gaunt star]

ahhhh nice to a ff14 original 24-man dungeon

[kind lark]

Luckily thavanir theme is good

[barren karma]

I miss EQ2 so much......sniff but Ff14 has filled that MMo hole in my heart

[teal geyser]

Well we always knew it was going to be original

[maiden lodge]

Just that it would be unravelling one of the original mysteries. So you know, The Twelve.

[soft gyro]

lmao people already hoarding the collectors edition https://img.thaun.dev/4wr2e.png

[gaunt star]

I like the music for Labyrinthos, but there are a handful of ear splitting tones in there that just make it awful.

[barren karma]

699 ?!

[woven escarp]

lmao

[gaunt star]

hopefully they tone it down volume wise for release

[crystal arrow]

lmfao it's not even worth $150

[tiny wind]

do ppl actually buy it off of scalpers

[woven escarp]

I bought mine for $199 this morning

[barren karma]

WTF is in it a lifesize Sir Aymeric doll?

[gaunt star]

ull be surprised

[teal geyser]

People wish

[lucid sedge]

Yeah I can't find this option whatsoever

[gaunt star]

@tacit heath I wouldn't pay that much unless it was Haurchefant

[barren karma]

@tacit heath I agree!

[teal geyser]

Gimme Hilda

[barren karma]

She does kick ass

[gaunt star]

How come Hilda is the only Half Elezen we've met?

[teal geyser]

Okay well I admit I was a little wrong, I thought the menus swapped first and then you could wait to watch the trailer but it is just watch the trailer then menu swaps

[leaden wind]

sice I've seen this question around a lot today, any info on when we're supposed to get that damned earring for pre-ordering?

[dull atlas]

Ppl are having fun with the male viera already.

[teal geyser]

Because imagine having to make custom models each time and also because cross...race isn't that looked upon greatly in lore

[gaunt star]

some people were saying they got theirs, and others not

[clever flume]

should be mailed shortly to your character once you've applied the pre-order code to your mogstation account

[teal geyser]

Oh my God I thought that was porn

[dull atlas]

It aint

[tiny wind]

ew

[teal geyser]

I actually shit myself

I just saw ass

[dull atlas]

Its vieras default gear xd get your mind out of the gutter.

[gaunt star]

You see ass all the time with Viera

[dull atlas]

Blame (thank?) Yoshi-P

But I wonder how tall are male viera.....

[gaunt star]

slightly shorter than females probably

[barren karma]

My guess.....about as tall as a male kitty

[gaunt star]

I want the male viera to be as short as my Au Ra

[dull atlas]

That would be funny.

[jade phoenix]

i had some hope i'd be able to see the next dancer AF gear somewhere in this screenshot but alas

[teal geyser]

tbh I thought they looked a bit taller

[gaunt star]

i saw a comparison image but it may be innacurate

[teal geyser]

show by all means

[crystal arrow]

we have no real reference point so shrug

they looked shorter to me

[jade phoenix]

nothing is known for sure until we get the benchmark

[gaunt star]

plot twist; Male Viera are lalafell sized but hyur proportioned.

[barren karma]

o.o

[gaunt star]

u want me to search twitter for an image comparing a race i dont like?

[barren karma]

@cinder glade Can you also tell me some lotto numbers?

[teal geyser]

proportions are in relation with each other!

That may be inaccurate.

Let me get the clip

[pine epoch]

Take with grain of salt

[leaden wind]

I don't know if I'm allowed to call male viera by what they are

[cinder glade]

only way we complain is if its not on spotify

[jade phoenix]

i aint believin shit until the benchmark

[oblique sedge]

I'm driving. Dm me

[pseudo umbra]

any full guesses on lyrics yet?

[dull atlas]

Oh

[barren karma]

@leaden wind Bunny boy? Bunni lad?

[maiden lodge]

Emet-selch: 'And that's when I took it personally'

[oblique sedge]

Btw. The trailer is awesome but when heavenward song played it threw me off for a moment until I got used to it

[teal geyser]

Eh nah that looks accurate enough, would have been nice to see the actual height slider of that female Viera though in case it's just set to 100

[maiden lodge]

manfran

[dull atlas]

Wait there's a simple reason. Female Viera use those high heels

[leaden wind]

it starts with "t" and people like to call jocat the same thing

[jade phoenix]

you can say twink

[dull atlas]

And the height is based on their high heeled versions.

[leaden wind]

good to know

[gaunt star]

@oblique sedge you mean Stormblood?

[leaden wind]

I'm also impressed how people immediately knew

[teal geyser]

Full full? Nah but me and a couple others did go through it a bit and made this. https://pastebin.com/N6QDzyJY
I made some slight personal changes but yeah

[gaunt star]

harder time? No, that's wrong.

[teal geyser]

Thanks for your feedback

[gaunt star]

probably "Hardened in time"

[pseudo umbra]

or "out of time"

[gaunt star]

Harder time makes no lyrical sense in context

[teal geyser]

It's 100% not out of time

[pseudo umbra]

wait no

biding it?

[gaunt star]

bathed in light

[teal geyser]

Yeah I know but it's all I could hear and I'd rather write something that doesn't make sense but sounds closer than something that makes less sense and sounds less accurate

[jade phoenix]

it could also be heart of ember

[gaunt star]

hardened in time audibly blends together, it makes more sense than harder time

[teal geyser]

Yeah I get that but I think I'm pretty happy with amber personally since it also ties into Azem's colour

[teal geyser]

Not disputing that

[crystal arrow]

I think it's heart of amber, heart of time

[gaunt star]

also possible.

[crystal arrow]

calling swiftly, bathed in light

[teal geyser]

It's that blending which just makes me not be able to hear it

[gaunt star]

You can complain on the forums, twitter, anywhere pretty much

[teal geyser]

Nah I really do think that's bade, there isn't a semblance of a "th"

[teal geyser]

Maybe?

[crystal arrow]

bade doesn't rly make sense tho

[teal geyser]

eh it kinda does

[gaunt star]

First, there is the main motif/theme melody of EW. It seems quite underwhelming compared to ShB. Then there are tracks like this one which I'm sure souken is trolling us with. You'll here as soon as you click on vid: https://youtu.be/sXrP6tT9wbY?t=3107

[crystal arrow]

upon getting to the second part in the alisaie scene, I think this is prolly it

[pseudo umbra]

uh, rapping part
??????
Until tomorrow
So unfortunate
Until tomorrow
???? tomorrow
So unfortunate
Until tomorrow
until tomorrow

[gaunt star]

Let's just say musically EW's gonna be unique

[pseudo umbra]

something like that

not the full thing, but repetition

[drowsy belfry]

Eh not like you can't add it yourself

[gaunt star]

is ffxiv OST on streaming services?

[vivid notch]

most of it is on Spotify

not sure about ShB but up to Stormblood is

[ruby hull]

Do we have 5.55 release date or will that be tomorrow?

[gaunt star]

I see

[vivid notch]

!ll

[lusty shadow]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Letter From the Producer Live LXIV:

7 hours, 15 minutes, 34 seconds

[gaunt star]

I can't find il mheg's OST on apple music or youtube music sadly

[vivid notch]

probably at the LL

[crystal kite]

I do like the EW theme but I agree that ShB’s was a lot more powerful

[ruby hull]

Fair

[gaunt star]

"For this world, stained in blood" is part of the stormblood portion

Favourite track of Day 1 Fanfest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsMtmdbHrqw

[random ravine]

yo wth is this

[teal geyser]

I would appreciate it if you mentioned kinda where in that bit???

[random ravine]

is soken high

the first part after FREEEDOM I think

it's music

[ruby hull]

Do we expect 5.55 within the month?

[cinder glade]

was this done tongue in cheek or straight faced serious. I couldnt tell

[gaunt star]

thats the part that switches to fandaniel @teal geyser

[random ravine]

wtf is he doing

[teal geyser]

Yeah but I mean those specific bits of lyrics you dumbo

[gaunt star]

Souken things

oh

[maiden lodge]

Something that I noticed about the trailer itself, regarding the music. The color composition for each medley's accompanying visuals match as well. For the HW part, it's mostly blues and cold colors, it switches to the fire motif for Stormblood, and red, neutral tones for ARR's section, leading into the mostly white motifs of Sharlayan, contrasted with our hero of that piece, Y'shtola, clad in black and purple, for Shadowbringers

[clever flume]

Yes because they told us previous late may

[pseudo umbra]

end of may

[gaunt star]

Best part was he sang that right after Tomorrow and Tomorrow was sung

[ruby hull]

Awesome

[viscid monolith]

Those are words that describe songs

[random ravine]

what a weird guy

[pseudo umbra]

so like
25th, unless they go 'lmao 18th is after the midpoint' but i heavily doubt that would happen

[gaunt star]

I mean, he once performed on piano using kicking a carton box as a bass

When visual language matches elements of the song, yes.

[random ravine]

i think he's on drugs

[gaunt star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlQZaDIAdYk

[viscid monolith]

Oh ok

[clever flume]

soken aint on drugs

[random ravine]

idk man..

[gaunt star]

Soken IS drugs

He's just your average whm

[lucid sedge]

Soken wouldn't do drugs, getting caught on drugs would kill your career forever in Japan

[gaunt star]

pog

[lucid sedge]

So he is simply high on life

[random ravine]

def drugs

[teal geyser]

Please though I have no idea which bit you mean because there is only one comment of "stained" in the stormblood bit and it's very clearly "BORN IN BLOOD STAINED IN RED BOUND BY BLOOD"

[gaunt star]

the box one turned out sounding pretty good though

[cinder glade]

Hes charlie sheening it

[gaunt star]

LAHEE is just ear torture

[clever flume]

does silly stuff with music... MUST BE DRUGS

[wheat agate]

LA HE

[pseudo umbra]

he's high on the excessive amount of chicken and alcohol he consumes daily

[lucid sedge]

Has a sense of humour
Bro he's on mad cocaaine bro

[gaunt star]

what? I actually forgot how the original LAHEE song sounds like. I keep hearing Souken in my head 😆

[teal geyser]

He's the one not on drugs smh

[maiden lodge]

Soken is great.

[gaunt star]

Souken composed ShB

he could do anything and I'd forgive him

[random ravine]

even sleeping with your gf?

[gaunt star]

someone modded sokens version into their game

[crystal arrow]

@teal geyser that part with the fem vocals in the alphy/alisaie portion is soo hard to hear, but I think I have something?

Standing tall along the way/ ??? since wry will fade is what it sounds like to me

[gaunt star]

twins die confirmed

[dense shard]

wattchparty tonight?

[barren karma]

OMG I want that Moggle lapel pin ❤️

[maiden lodge]

tbf Soken never agreed to relationship fidelity, I can't really blame him there

[gaunt star]

I wouldn't blame her

[drowsy belfry]

FOXCLON IS VENAT

[kind lark]

There's two foxes?!?

[teal geyser]

Honestly I just don't get it since IIRC it's not even that disturbed by what's going on, it's just hard to make out

[crystal arrow]

Yeah I'm really struggling, I know 100% I hear "will fade" at the end though

[silk dragon]

Snu snu?

[gaunt star]

Jokes aside, Souken's G.O.A.T.

[pallid lynx]

Im pretty sure the "Ever ??? torn, everything's the will of the star" part is Our reprisal torn

[neat sinew]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1ZgH1gUYAQsrel?format=png&name=small
Who is this supposed to be btw? I'm losing my mind here.

[crystal arrow]

venat, hydaelyn's core, probably

[gaunt star]

Hydaelyn. I'm still kind of mad at her.

[silk dragon]

so much for WoL being the heart of Hydealan

[random ravine]

I think it's supposed to be Dame Ravness from Tactics Ogre.

[crystal arrow]

that was never a thing though

[teal geyser]

We knew they weren't since 5.2 to be fair

[silk dragon]

would Zenos become the new heart of Zodiark?

[gaunt star]

I have an idea as to who it might be @neat sinew that probably hasn't been guessed yet

[teal geyser]

Could be referencing her in appearance and might even be an alias if she is using one but it's clearly Venat as a character

[next quarry]

tbf the symbolism would match since the only visible portion of the crystal is behind her

[barren karma]

We are the butt of Hydealan @_@ it's not an easy job....but someone has to do it

[fair plume]

||They specifically stated Azem was not present for either summoning||

[gaunt star]

what if it's an older Ryne?

[teal geyser]

It's not

[crystal arrow]

it's not

[gaunt star]

naah

[crystal arrow]

it is 1000% venat

[silk dragon]

and she cant be a shard of ryne too

[gaunt star]

Ryne has red hair

[random ravine]

I think Zenos might be harbinger for the final days.

Zenos will likely play a much important role after the current story ark is finished

[teal geyser]

umm...yeah, we know

[crystal arrow]

fuck no, that'd be miserable writing - he needs to be yeeted after EW.

[teal geyser]

We played the game Snack

[random ravine]

i know you know. was talking tot he other guy

[crystal arrow]

if you played the msq you'd actually know that

[teal geyser]

Oh wait Snack do you mean after ShB or after EW?

[silk dragon]

but what if the WoL was the heart of hydlean

[random ravine]

after EW

[silk dragon]

rember i said if

[fair plume]

but the WoL isn't

[teal geyser]

Oh yeah no Zenos isn't lasting past EW

You can't reuse him a third time lol and we are meant to move on after EW

[random ravine]

so which character do you think is gonna play a role in the Final Days?

[teal geyser]

EW IS the Final Days

[fair plume]

"Final Days" won't last beyond EW

[kind lark]

Fandango

[fair plume]

This is the end of this storyline

[silk dragon]

my guess for Zenos final lines would be Farwell my enemy my True friend

[crystal arrow]

if you played msq, for like, the 1000th time, you'd know that EW is the final days.

[teal geyser]

^ play the gaaaaaaaaaaaame

[random ravine]

i know, i just made a mistake

[fair plume]

Also if you listened , they've said 6.1 is the start of a new storyline

[crystal arrow]

go play the game and don't ask questions that are oh so easily answered by recent content.

[gaunt star]

EW is the last chapter

they said that months ago lol

[fair plume]

they said that when they announced it lol

[gaunt star]

people let it go over their head? with all that idiocy of ppl assuming xiv ends

[jade phoenix]

dont bully the angry bread

[dense shard]

lol is that sephiroth in the endwalker full trailer

[gaunt star]

no

[fair plume]

yes

[gaunt star]

sephiroth lmao

[dense shard]

he looked like sephiroth

[silk dragon]

we do get a anima though

[fair plume]

"an anima"?

[silk dragon]

from FFX

[teal geyser]

[alpine geyser]

Moon monster

[gaunt star]

Sephiroth would seem like a responsible member of society in front of Zenos

[teal geyser]

Anima is a trial yes

[dense shard]

Friday, November 19, 2021 so it begins at a friday

[barren karma]

How is ordering from the store? Anyone have any issues still? Is it jammed up?

[dense shard]

thats only 6months away pagman

[gaunt star]

it takes a while to confirm everything. usually max 1 hour

[silk dragon]

and i dont see the guado being the beast tribe for that Primal

[jade phoenix]

yooo its sephiroth (white hair ✅ bladed weapon ✅ male ✅ )

[odd yoke]

Filthy modders, not giving them to console

[fair plume]

no it's becky

[odd yoke]

[gaunt star]

@gaunt star that soon? Now I want the patch now.

Be interesting to learn a bit morea bout Zenos life....like does he have any lovers? Heck doe she have any kids?

[gaunt star]

https://tenor.com/view/kainé-nier-nier-replicant-nier-gestalt-kainénier-gif-20820717

Cleary the person at top is female Hythlo

[pine epoch]

I wanna hear Rommy thoughts on the male viera race gear

[empty moss]

deslexia saw Venat as Venonat

[gaunt star]

soon? lol its the best time to introduce her, and have her assist us or whatever during EW

[dense shard]

there he is sephiroth

[random ravine]

who is this

[tiny wind]

remember when people said it wasn't a scythe

[gaunt star]

Kaine

[random ravine]

who's that

[gaunt star]

it was obvious from the first trailer honestly

[tiny wind]

yeah

[teal geyser]

ayyyy

[empty moss]

assumptions are the mother of all fk ups though

[crystal arrow]

oh shit it's sephiroth yae galvus

[gaunt star]

some Nier character

[dense shard]

watchparty at twitch tonight i would say

[alpine geyser]

Fair to say we struck down the heart of zodiark, now we go down with hydaelyn

[jade phoenix]

nier replicant secondary protagonist

[teal geyser]

Those people were silly

[tiny wind]

kaine is a nier waifu

[dense shard]

at squreenix channel or so

[gaunt star]

yeah but u could tell from the way it was shown

[empty moss]

the Patora fusion?

[teal geyser]

Wait what no why?

[wheat agate]

what do you guys think the 6th zone will be?
right now we got the place under sharlayan, thavnair, destroyed garlemald, the moon, and then the floating islands of zeal from chrono trigger that definitely isnt amourantine based

[crystal arrow]

remember when people said the alliance raid was silvertear

[random ravine]

didnt calisaie thiink that

the alliance raid was silvertear

[pine epoch]

we have 5 locations

[random ravine]

or rommy, idr

[gaunt star]

you do realise she appears to us herself, and we clearly arent going after her when the one causing the final days is Fandaniel and Zenos

[jade phoenix]

current gridania

[empty moss]

Real question though

[gaunt star]

@wheat agate Manderville's workshop.

[empty moss]

will we be able to fish whales on the moon

[jade phoenix]

there's only one fish that will bite on the moon

[random ravine]

i wonder if we will be able to use botanist on the moon

[teal geyser]

That Sharlayan place, thavnair, destroyed garlemald, the moon, and then the floating islands of zeal from chrono trigger that definitely isnt amourantine based, The 6th one is probably the final secret one that I assume is either inside the moon or...like something really fucked up and not part of this world in the sense that it's not a proper location

[pine epoch]

moon, garlemald, sharlayan underground bunker, thavnair. floating island. that is 5 so we've yet to see a 6th zone

[kind lark]

Terminus fish

[gaunt star]

no, here's a real question. Is there going to be variable instanced world content as it burns?

[fair plume]

EW final raid boss is Godbert

[jade phoenix]

they wouldnt even stay out of the trailer

[wheat agate]

no.. we're... we're not ready..

[teal geyser]

looks at ShB
Yes

[fair plume]

in savage it's Julian

[tiny wind]

rewatching the piano concert rn its so good

[royal spruce]

Still praying to hear about some type of fix for Viera hair talk tonight

[random ravine]

no it's gonna be godbert's waifu

[pine epoch]

Inb4 the 6th zone is the lifestream, and we go there because in order to fix the final days so it can never happen again we take zodiark and hydaelyn and go into the lifestream and fight the planet its self

[fair plume]

Savage will be his waifu

[teal geyser]

gotta get those um....moon cottons

[gaunt star]

Doubt they will get hats for Viera anytime soon.

[gaunt star]

hahahahaha

@pine epoch and there's some random flower girl who sells us materia.

[teal geyser]

I don't think it'll literally be "the lifestream" but I do think it might be kinda along those lines in the way it's aetherial

[random ravine]

i guess technically you could use the scythe to break crystal formations

[royal spruce]

I mean it's been two years and people are still not happy with it they just can't ignore it

[maiden lodge]

World's haunted
What
cocks gun
World's haunted

[jade phoenix]

i'm sure they'll get around to it

[gaunt star]

its ok they used those resources for male viera which ppl wont play 4 weeks after

just switch to Hyur and wear all the hats in the world

[strange wing]

Bun boys or hats on buns. Which way western man?

[fair plume]

I mean, they did give viera a bone this patch

[teal geyser]

bun boys

[gaunt star]

@strange wing Hats on Space Bunny Monster Tribe.

[jade phoenix]

🧂

[fair plume]

man buns?

[teal geyser]

HA

[gaunt star]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-slap-anime-mad-student-gif-17423278

[maiden lodge]

They literally fixed the first problem people were really griping about

[jade phoenix]

seeing people so mad about male viera is great

[teal geyser]

Right?

[gaunt star]

how trollish would it be if we get to Endwalker, and the space bunnies have lots and lots of different hats. Just none for PC's

[random ravine]

seriouslythough, who actually reallyw ants to play male viera

[gaunt star]

mad? why?

im not mad about it, i knew theyd release them i was just expecting them on 7.0

[jade phoenix]

insecurity

[random ravine]

they seriously wrongly-estimated the demand for things in this game

[teal geyser]

ME

[maiden lodge]

'Okay but you didn't fix this problem that's only been really swelling in rancor recently'

[kind lark]

People freaked out over bun boys

[jade phoenix]

lots of fucking people

[strange wing]

Miqote would be fine if it wasnt for the weird claw hands

[gaunt star]

@gaunt star it's because this is getting out of hand. Now there are TWO of them

[royal spruce]

I have no issue with male Vera I just hope this doesn't get in the way of the issue of female Vera hair

[gaunt star]

I'll never play a Viera but I don't see a reason to get mad over male Viera being added

[random ravine]

and then you're just gonna play it for 2 weeks then fantasia back to a catgirl

[teal geyser]

For me it's some of the overly catlike emotes

[gaunt star]

less people that some think

[maiden lodge]

I told someone who wasn't even interested in the game, as a joke, and this sweet person replyed 'How much does this game cost?'

Bunnybois will sell the game to some people.

[jade phoenix]

a lot of people have been waiting for a lithe/androgynous male model in the game for like 7 years lmao

[crystal arrow]

i loved seeing the people whine about lore in this channel when m viera lore is the same as m miqo

[wheat agate]

tons of people
it got a lot of attention on social media

[teal geyser]

I don't play catgirl. You should fucking do your research first

[gaunt star]

Still don't think they will be competition for the dominating cat folk population

[gaunt star]

i cant research u without consent

[strange wing]

Male viera is the in-between edgy lizard boys and twink catboys that the game needed.

[gaunt star]

in the beginning Eorzea will look like a rabbit farm

I'm guessing at least half of the male catfolk are going to disappear because of the buns

[jade phoenix]

here's an even funnier one, the creator of viera in ff12 is fine with it https://twitter.com/YasumiMatsuno/status/1393399787844640768

[gaunt star]

tbh male viera > male au ra, they look creepy lol

but after the hype is gone things will return to every 3rd person you meet being Mi'qote

[wheat agate]

male viera players be like

[teal geyser]

I consent

[random ravine]

doesn't really change my original point

[maiden lodge]

There are people who want exceptionally pretty bois and now they have them to play, I can't bismirch that even if I'm not the target. Anything that lets more people 'choose their bliss' is fine by me

[jade phoenix]

the peggle fandom is dying, share if you love pegging!!!!

[gaunt star]

@gaunt star as a female au ra, the guys always looked kinda murderous and ragey.

[random ravine]

u should be careful on what u consent to

[gaunt star]

Au Ra males look proud and confident

[gaunt star]

their body type just creeps me out, also lets not talk about the general opinion on them from the community

@teal geyser ok link me your onlyfans

ready to start a fight anytime anywhere

[teal geyser]

Sath should be careful on what they are doing

[strange wing]

Ha ha ha

[gaunt star]

????? nani

[crystal arrow]

yeah LOL I saw people being like "tHiS iS dIsReSpEcTfUl To IvAlIcE"

[teal geyser]

Oh I replied to the wrong comment but whatever

[gaunt star]

How can you be a fan of Male Au Ra when Sadu exists?

[jade phoenix]

send them this to cause a meltdown

[gaunt star]

this 'disrespectful' thing is idiotic in the first place, thought it was known male viera existed in general

[teal geyser]

"ThIS BrEakS LoRe"
Me glaring at Miqo'te
Uh huh

[fair plume]

But, Sidguru exists

[maiden lodge]

He literally is probably in the office and the whole thing was like "hey, mats, you okay with this?" "Damn straight, I was gonna do it myself fuuuuuuuuuuck thank god"

[vivid notch]

I think it's very funny that they are supposed to be like amazing super deadly hunters that are always angry and stuff

and they're all twinks. Testosterone works in mysterious ways in Eorzea

[strange wing]

If we gotta talk about lore we gotta talk about the Nuhn supression in Gridania

[jade phoenix]

he probably helped tbh

[gaunt star]

Well. It kind of does a little. They did say male Viera are shy and what not.

[vivid notch]

that said I love them pretty boys

[teal geyser]

Matsuno shouldn't write in XIV again so we don't allow him to do this

[vivid notch]

they all look like fuckboys but I love them, can't wait for the Gerudo Link cosplays

[jade phoenix]

female au ra are supposed to be super strong nomadic warriors and they're 4 feet tall twigs

[fair plume]

Not shy, they are like cats - territorial

[jade phoenix]

people dont actually care about lore for races until they're telling others why they cant have fun

[gaunt star]

male Viera all fat at home while the females run society

[teal geyser]

Yes but much like how in fantasy wearing less armour makes you more protected, being a small Au Ra makes you stronger

[gaunt star]

@fair plume okay... I'll accept Sidurgu as token male Au Ra

[maiden lodge]

You can have a race with the general tendancy of 'We're shy' and individuals will still break from the mold.

But that's not in viera lo--

That's how Viera were introduced to us, by one of them breaking from the mold, that's literally the lore for how Viera adventurers work or did we forget about Fran

[barren karma]

Be interesting if the bunnies and cats got togeather

[gaunt star]

but only because Sidurgu is adorable.

[strange wing]

That 6.0 90 DRK quest better make me cry.

[vivid notch]

lmao fair

[halcyon heart]

This expansion may be the first time I don't play a healer...hmm...

[teal geyser]

||we talk to Myste||

[vivid notch]

you could say that she's an all star

[jade phoenix]

not even for sage?

[gaunt star]

yes ull stab urself with the greatsword and become a demon.. oh wait thats Devil May Cry 5 sorry

[halcyon heart]

Reaper looks good. But I'll probably still go sage

[gaunt star]

I think they are going to need to work this angle more.

[vivid notch]

I like the mistborn reference in your nick

[halcyon heart]

Can't deal with dps queue times. Lol

[gaunt star]

@vivid notch But is she going to get the game on and go play?

[maiden lodge]

No, cause they don't need to 'explain' races have individual members that break from the mold.

[gaunt star]

lol dps queues will be great, dps will insta fill

[barren karma]

it's best not to think of races and actual workable genetics in Ff14.....the only races that actually work genetically are Humans and Elezen o_O

[teal geyser]

She can play with me

[vivid notch]

she did look kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead

[strange wing]

Mistborn good. Investiture is basically just Aether

[random ravine]

queue in as sage, then switch to reaper 😈

[teal geyser]

I mean, that's not true but you do you

[vivid notch]

dps queue is going to be a nightmare

[gaunt star]

are u an android or a genetic viera

[teal geyser]

For example Hyur and Garlean and Hyur and Au Ra have happened to

[barren karma]

@teal geyser Well they are the only ones that have offspring and mostly cohesive family units

[vivid notch]

1h long queue for a 4 reaper party let's go

[gaunt star]

laughs in healer main

[maiden lodge]

People said this in stormblood and were wrong.

[halcyon heart]

Lol does that actually work?

[random ravine]

in frontlines

[gaunt star]

@teal geyser there are half Au Ra? Where?

[fair plume]

The dps queues won't change one bit

[vivid notch]

pretty much lmao

[teal geyser]

Except we've never seen one with a cohesive family unit

[strange wing]

Hmm. Will Reaper have a B-rez?

[teal geyser]

Never a model but it's talked about in a Ruby Sea questline and was said to have happened in the past

[gaunt star]

There is a new healer so that should help dps queues

[maiden lodge]

DPS queues are going to be fuckin normal, tank mains will be busy levelling their mains, healer mains will be busy levelling their mains, like please let's not pretend this isn't the fourth time we've done this.

[strange wing]

Sacrifice ghost pal for a rez

[gaunt star]

wasnt it part of the quest line with the 2 identical girls xd

[teal geyser]

Yeah!

[gaunt star]

that an au ra married a human and had a kid

[stuck yarrow]

So was it just me or was the cgi a little worse than usual in the trailer?

[jade phoenix]

melee dps with a B rez would be nuts lol

[fair plume]

Since reapers wear maiming gear, they are floor tank, so the only rez they will need is one for themselves

[gaunt star]

idk the cgi looked great

[teal geyser]

yeah and it had like, less scales or something and...something

[barren karma]

@teal geyser I just mean that males or females aren't 'rare' in those races also you dont get the weird dysmprphism of the Au Ra....

[gaunt star]

Can confirm. Got , , and to level to 90 in EW

[gaunt star]

safe to assume it had horns but no scales

[teal geyser]

That's not remotely what you said though soooo

[gaunt star]

@stuck yarrow The CGI was quite good, HOWEVER, I felt the Graha'Tia portion looked slightly off

[strange wing]

I couldn't tell, too busy rocking to BORN IN BLOOD

[teal geyser]

his eyebrows weird me out otherwise he's fine

[gaunt star]

Graha tia looked like he came outta Kpop

forgot Sage

[stuck yarrow]

Yeah
I also thought that it was weird how expressionless Y’shtola was when she said the whole thing about defending the realm

[barren karma]

@teal geyser ach sorry "( having two thongs on the subject....

[maiden lodge]

Every time they tease a new dps 'DPS queues are done they're broken oh noes' and it's never happened, even in SB when both jobs were dps so please stop doomin, things will be fine. Also if you level your job in EW and don't run to reaper you're going to be ahead of the curve of the reapers

[gaunt star]

[fair plume]

Both Y'shtola and Graha have weird eyes, which makes their emotions hard to tell

[jade phoenix]

hope we get to see some artifact gear tonight

[barren karma]

I predict the end of Endwalker is that we open a cake shop on the moon with Zenos.

[jade phoenix]

lets see which job got screwed over in the fashion department

[gaunt star]

lmao

[tropic frigate]

gonna speed level with my brother and play the story with new classes like gamers

[strange wing]

Wait. Was Cryptlurker set a foreshadow?

[gaunt star]

didnt they show like uhh 6 AF gears on the announcement showcase

[stuck yarrow]

Yeah

[maiden lodge]

G'raha has two emotions. 'I can has adventure!' and 'awww no can has adventure.'

[gaunt star]

I'm gonna spend my sweet time in Sharlayan. Seems like a nice place.

[teal geyser]

something like that

[kind lark]

Reaper's fashion has potential to be glorious

[maiden lodge]

Y'shtola has two emotions: 'Team mom' and 'I'm seriously done with your shit, sir'

[gaunt star]

Wrong

[vivid notch]

G'raha has two emotions: uwu and OwO

[gaunt star]

Y'Shtola has a third emotion. That would be "Treat me like an adult, mom!" when around Matoya

[tropic frigate]

what if fandaniel takes what zenos wants to control and he has to end up beating him up too?

[gaunt star]

ShB G'raha > post 5.3 G'raha

[vivid notch]

aren't those AF we already have?

[barren karma]

Oh wow that outfit in the middle

[gaunt star]

anyway today should be 5.5 Part 2 live letter so i doubt we are getting more AF reveals

[teal geyser]

no

[maiden lodge]

ahahaha you rite

[gaunt star]

no

[fair plume]

New level cap! New gear! New Recipes! It's almost as if we don't do this every expansion!

[vivid notch]

they look very similar to the ones we have already lmao

[teal geyser]

That's new shit, they don't look similar at all

[gaunt star]

they dont look similar at all tho? maybe their theme but thats it

[vivid notch]

I'm pretty sure I have that DRK one in my glamour dresser

[gaunt star]

did they talk about the animal crossing Island in the keynote?

[jade phoenix]

to be fair, every red mage set is starting to melt in to one very rapidly lmao

[teal geyser]

Yeah but that's just job identity

[halcyon heart]

Unfortunately no.

[gaunt star]

yeah thats what i mean lol. BLM doesnt look the same at all for example

Probably in Day 2

[halcyon heart]

Just what they already said about it last time but we didn't even get a trailer for it

[stuck yarrow]

If that gear in the second pic is RDM AF5 it might be my fave yet
WHM gear looks great too

[maiden lodge]

okay but if they don't spell it out we'll be inundated with 'are we getting more levels?' 'Is there a new level cap?' 'Can I use level 80 gear?'

I mean we will anyways. But it's lessened.

[teal geyser]

Or that...Samurai(????) one?

[exotic copper]

has anyone been memeing the scene where yshtola tells the dude to fuck off yet in the trailer

[tropic frigate]

the first and the source sets for classes i believe was meant to be similar but otherwise they are trying to do it differently while still being a class

[gaunt star]

or RDM

[random ravine]

it's weird that the level cap is 90. why not just raise it to 100

[teal geyser]

[gaunt star]

samurai is obvious, cause the lvl 80 af was really standing out with that facemask

It doesn't help that Y'Shtola keeps bringing her hoodlum friends to visit, and the Derpy dorky looking one spilled she stole her mom's ID to buy some popularity by bringing Beer to the First. @maiden lodge

[teal geyser]

Because you go 10 each expansion duh

[exotic copper]

thank you, i knew the potential was there

[vivid notch]

I hope the AST one comes with included kitty

[fair plume]

They're supposed to be doing a stat squish this round. 20 levels would be a pain

[tropic frigate]

why not raise it to 99 e z

[gaunt star]

I wonder what new skills they will give AST. They better not all be 90 min cds

[crystal arrow]

that's how expansions work, it's 10 levels. you're asking for two expacs in one

[maiden lodge]

What is this Final Fantasy 11?!

[vivid notch]

gods I can't believe SAM got a fucking trenchcoat I mean come on it's not a competition for the title of neckbeard guys

[stuck yarrow]

Also they’ve been raising it by ten levels every expansion since Heavensward

[tropic frigate]

a good bit of ff games stop at like 99

[gaunt star]

im expecting a lvl squish with 8.0

[halcyon heart]

Why not raise it to 99 and then add books of combat like ffxi so you can go from 1 to 99 in less than a day? Lol

[exotic copper]

squishes are inevitable

[teal geyser]

job points baby let's goooooooo

[maiden lodge]

cause AST's problem is a shortage of 60 second cooldowns

[tropic frigate]

they did say somewhere they want to keep things fresh so im wondering what they'll do in some way

[gaunt star]

delete lalas

[maiden lodge]

Matoya wasn't mad. She was just... disappointed. But at least Y'shtola didn't drive home and that's the important part.

[gaunt star]

need more skills. moar weaves. MOAR

[vivid notch]

WAR and DRK look very similar to sets we already have (WHM too but it's also very cute so I forgive it) smh

[fair plume]

Becaue we don't have the gear that XI does. When you change your entire set for precast, cast, and idle

[exotic copper]

yall ready for them to announce hrothgar in 7.0

[random ravine]

idk man...raising level cap by 10 with each expansion just seems like a very arbitrary rule to limit yourself. or maybe that's just me.

/shrug

[maiden lodge]

every number they'd use is arbitrary for every game ever

[crystal arrow]

ah yes, let's make a story last for 20 levels, that totally won't fucking drag on like arr does

[tropic frigate]

endwalker being the end would feel complete at 99

[vivid notch]

I just want card identity back

[maiden lodge]

FF11 used 25. WoW used 10 (except when it didn't)

[vivid notch]

I don't give a shit about anything else in AST

[gaunt star]

wow did it so everyone gotta follow the tradition

[stuck yarrow]

It gives them a very basic leveling blueprint to stick to every expansion

[vivid notch]

I don't want to be a stamp collector I want to be a card reader

[exotic copper]

wow also squished 🙂

[crystal arrow]

I don't think there's a single mmo out there that does 20 level expacs

[vivid notch]

I want Shape of My Heart to be the job's theme

[teal geyser]

I get that but then like, your scaling for one expansion is really different than others and everyone is going to get confused like "wtf I hit 90 is EW not over yet I'm so confused"

[exotic copper]

And did two 5 level expacs

[fair plume]

They could literally give 100 hp, 100 mp, and have all the boss do between 1 and 99 and it would the same

[maiden lodge]

Except they don't plan to end the game at Endwalker

[tropic frigate]

i know

[teal geyser]

7.0 is /s

[maiden lodge]

Kinda, though you wouldn't feel progression

[fair plume]

Wait, is 6.0 the end of FFXIV?

[crystal arrow]

no

[stuck yarrow]

No

[halcyon heart]

No

[gaunt star]

No

[exotic copper]

yes

[soft gyro]

No

[random ravine]

Yes

[stuck yarrow]

It’s the end of the Zodiark and Hydaelyn story

[bold condor]

yes /s

[soft gyro]

no /s

[fair plume]

I know, I'm meme'ing

[exotic copper]

which is the game 🙂

[gaunt star]

They're messing with you. Square Enix is not gonna let Yoshida shut down final fantasy's most profitable game ever

@maiden lodge Yes. Krile is the responsible Cousin, and Graha'Tia that reliable boy who is so nerdy he didn't drink any of the alcohol.

[gaunt star]

???

[crystal arrow]

nope

[exotic copper]

what am i gonna do when my crystal mommy is dead

[teal geyser]

not wrong, that is the game

[crystal arrow]

they literally said they'd start a new story in 6.1 idk why you'd even try to troll about this

[dense shard]

is reaver a melee dps class or what is it

[soft gyro]

||Zodiark and Hydalyn is just a puny primal||

[maiden lodge]

Alphinaud is the one going 'You know what guys, we should do Mardi Gras this year.' Alisae is the reason we're not going to Mardi Gras this year.

[gaunt star]

Why can't you date a nice boy like Graha'Tia, Shtola? Rather than hanging around these trouble making rabble rousers

[teal geyser]

maiming DPS yes

[exotic copper]

reaper is a maiming job like dragoon

[plucky palm]

are sage and reaper gonna have lvl 70-80 job quests?

[maiden lodge]

Yes

[odd yoke]

Yes

[dense shard]

wdym with maiming dps

[tropic frigate]

it really isnt the end of the game and they said they have a concept of what to follow with

[odd yoke]

Uses dragoon gear

[gaunt star]

No job quests. Just role quests right?

[tropic frigate]

apparently a concept to 6.1 at least

[teal geyser]

Certain jobs wear certain types of gear. Dragoon and Reaper will wear maiming gear

[exotic copper]

dps have "types" mnk sam -> striking

[vivid notch]

7.0 is New World I'm manifesting it

[dense shard]

oh

[stuck yarrow]

Oof fixing my toolbars for a job that starts at 70 is gonna be a pain

[vivid notch]

but I'd be fine with Meracydia

[crystal arrow]

yoshi pretty much said that xiv is his life's work and he'd work on it until he couldn't work anymore

[tropic frigate]

i was thinking of meracydia

[maiden lodge]

You'll have to do that for every job when EW launches anyway

[gaunt star]

Souken?

[vivid fern]

I want to hear the music from the newest trailer.

[gaunt star]

How much of the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc was Koji-Fox wanted to sing metal songs?

[teal geyser]

I would have agreed with you if we weren't getting so many dragons and Tiamat. Now I think we are going Meracydia and deal with that or...something assuming we don't deal with Ilsabard in 7.0 proper beforehand

[fair plume]

When do we hear job changes?

[exotic copper]

he's just announcing to us he'll die irl at the end of 6

[stuck yarrow]

Might have to go in PotD and start at level one to get myself acquainted with it

[soft gyro]

in the patch notes

[crystal arrow]

6.1 has to be setting up a conflict with meracydia at this point, since we now have two more first broods running around

[fair plume]

I mean I'm ready for third round of "let's mess up drk and smn"

[torpid yoke]

We're never getting proper Ilsabard QuQ

[gaunt star]

im expecting shards, meracydia, and lala extinction

RIP shield AST. You'll be missed after 6.0

[crystal arrow]

we still don't know where tf Azdaja is

[dense shard]

reaper looks cool i gonna lvl it do u start at lvl1 or what lvl is it

[deft burrow]

New World

[exotic copper]

you know who you never hear about? WARs

[random ravine]

when we going to the void?

[stuck yarrow]

We’ll hear about some of the job changes earlier won’t we

[gaunt star]

6.1 would be the Walaqee tribe and the new world.

[plucky palm]

lvl 70

[random ravine]

and restoring it back to a normal shard

[fair plume]

we can't do that..

[maiden lodge]

'i need to remind myself how 1-2-3 combos work' Honestly, if you know the game up to level 70, you should be able to figure it out. RDM didn't get easier to learn by stripping out the parts of the kit you needed to learn, and oneshot mobs are a bad way to learn the ways anyways.

[tropic frigate]

what exactly is the new world?

[teal geyser]

If they don't show in EW I guess New World?

[jade phoenix]

separate huge continent

[exotic copper]

I guarantee the 7.0 job will be a healer and they're going to angle it towards restoring order to the shattered world left behind in 6

[gaunt star]

idk xd

[teal geyser]

Basically America off to the west of Eorzea

[tropic frigate]

oh that sounds like it has potential

[stuck yarrow]

No need to be a dick dude

[fair plume]

it's where the whalaqee come from

[random ravine]

we can. just need patience

[teal geyser]

It's where the Mamool Ja come from and blue magic FYI @tropic frigate

[fair plume]

They mention the New World mostly in BLU quests

[jade phoenix]

@tropic frigate you can learn a bit more about the new world in the blue mage questlines

[crystal arrow]

Or they could still be in meracydia, couldn't they

[dense shard]

so i need a class at lvl70 first

[regal lantern]

I’m sure people already figured, but the part of the trailer where Estinien comes in, is in Thavnair

[teal geyser]

Only Tiamat and Bahamut lived there

[vale dome]

I'm actually kinda hype for Reaper, while I think maiming gear look bad 99% of the time, its stance and animations look cool, I think imma main it it its fun.

[torpid yoke]

More like a caster or another melee that uses scouting

[dense shard]

i have some

[gaunt star]

I'd say New World AND Meracydia for the expansion after Endwalker

[crystal arrow]

in the past yes but we don't know wtf is happening there now do we

[soft gyro]

I like gradually getting all the skills one-by-one

[maiden lodge]

My apologies, but honestly, you should be good at later levels. PotD 51-60 might be better? Or dungeons at least so you can get a feel for the rotation.

[plucky palm]

yes, and finishing stormblood

[random ravine]

Meracydia could technically also be the New Worrld I guess. I mean isn't Meracydia kind of like the Australia of the Source...and Australia is sort of...New Worldish?

[dense shard]

reaper looks cool as fuck tbh probably one of coolest classes that i saw in ff14

[fair plume]

I just wonder how reaper will operate. DRG is the long static chain. WIl reaper be more oGCDs? More proc based?

[crystal arrow]

Meracydia is not the new world. Please fucking play the game.

[vale dome]

Though, I haven't figured out whether to get a Fantasia to become a male Viera or fix up my male Elezen.

[teal geyser]

Sure but I don't think uh, Azdaja just decided to move from where he was with his brood into a wasteland after his siblings and their children were fucking massacred there

[exotic copper]

why? They just finished a whole decade long war campaign, after war is economic growth, i dont see how a striking or caster dps represents that

[gaunt star]

I kind of wish there was a Mount Ordeals coming.

[stuck yarrow]

Male Viera is the first time I’ve had the urge to run through the game as a guy

[gaunt star]

I loved powerlevelling at Mount Ordeals

[crystal arrow]

I mean, we really have no clue what the environment of meracydia is like right now, we know it was ravaged but that was a long time ago

[fair plume]

The New World is a cultural region of Hydaelyn located far to the west of Aldenard and across the Indigo Deep. [1] It is the homeland of the Mamool Ja beast tribe. [2] Popotoes, Reagan Peppers, Mimett Gourds, Pahsana Fruit, and tapirs come from this region, most of them brought to Eorzea by Lominsan sailors.

[gaunt star]

@stuck yarrow It's tempting, for sure... I'll stick with my Au Ra though. I'd just feel weirdly disconnected if I changed now.

[dense shard]

also looks like reaper will have huge cool looking weapons

[teal geyser]

The lorebook says that parts of it is still inhospitable and if you're trying to claim that Azdaja moved to Meracydia I really think he would have done so many hundreds of years ago given the time frame and so it probably would have been wayyy worse back then

[maiden lodge]

The New World is a continent to the west of Eorzea, far to the west, where Ma'moolja are from, and where certain few NPCs are from--and Blue Magic.
Meracydia is the continent to the south of the Big Three where Allag invaded, the Warring Triad are from, and which got so wrecked by it that, to this day, the few natives that survived are 'murder everyone on sight' for visitors.

[torpid yoke]

I don't see what economic growth has anything to do with a new job

[gaunt star]

and I'm like why are people talking about Amazon's soon to be released mmo New World 😆

[stuck yarrow]

Oh I’m not talking Fantasia, I mean making an alt lmao

[vale dome]

I'm sold on the tiniest detail... its animations look good and normal compared to who I am atm (Male Elezen)

[plucky palm]

if 7.0 will take place in the new world does that mean blu is gonna be a full job?

[teal geyser]

lol no

[crystal arrow]

yeah fair then, azdaja prolly is in the new world

[gaunt star]

BLU can't be a full job

[stuck yarrow]

I’m never fantasia-ing my main

[gaunt star]

Blue will never be a full job.

[fair plume]

Can we just get BLU in eureka plz

[torpid yoke]

Do we know their gender yet?

[crystal arrow]

there's absolutely zero chance for blu to become a real job, nor usable in relic content

[maiden lodge]

No.

[gaunt star]

It's too OP

[fair plume]

But what if... yes?

[teal geyser]

This is all we ever get of Meracydia landscape basically post Allagan invasion

[dense shard]

there is no doubt i gonna preorder and play reaper

[vale dome]

If anything, 7.0 would be Beast Master limited job

[plucky palm]

a reworked blu

[maiden lodge]

If you play blue you know why you can't put it in the general population.

[jade phoenix]

leaked footage of vritra fight in endwalker

[maiden lodge]

Besides what is there to do in Eureka for blue? Fail to level?

[exotic copper]

in HW drg represented the dragon war, in SB the sam represented the new lands we were going to, in ShB DRK represented us as warrior of darkness, endw pld represents us as the true WoL

[crystal arrow]

ah alright, I knew that existed but I didn't know what it said

[exotic copper]

healers are about growth and recovery, see whm

[jade phoenix]

instant kill huge groups of mobs to make it easier

[teal geyser]

Damn skipped monk D:

[fair plume]

It's not like Eureka is mainline though. I know why they don't put it in the "main part"

[stuck yarrow]

Yeah as much as I would like it to be a real job I don’t see how they could do that without stripping away a lot of the fun

[exotic copper]

lmao i am still a little iffy about whether they share that slot

[bold condor]

😔

[random ravine]

yo why does the WoL change classes so freaking much

[bold condor]

He's a completionist.

[vivid notch]

yeah probably Meracydia

[soft gyro]

imagine if male viera was locked behing so you needed to purchase endwalker not shb to get access

[exotic copper]

change is good

[vivid notch]

or hell let's go crazy, let's go Dragon Star, fuck it

[maiden lodge]

There's another reason. You know how Eureka uses radically different combat math by tossing in eLVL?

[gaunt star]

Why won't blue be available as a job? Level 5 Death. Missile. Tail Screw, etc.

[crystal arrow]

I mean, given that shb will just be rolled into EW when EW releases, this is true

[teal geyser]

Like I would stress I'd love to go to Ilsabard proper first as an expansion if only because I REALLY WANT THAT FUCKING FULL MAP SE

[gaunt star]

Ram's Breath, Ultravibration.

[inner warren]

Knew the new class was Reaper

[maiden lodge]

Blue uses different math than other jobs as well. The math Blue uses and the math Eureka uses might become degenerate, and incompatible.

[jade phoenix]

we liberate them from the sharlayan zoo

[inner warren]

And you guys tried to call me a liar

[torpid yoke]

We'll get it end of 6.0 I promise

[woven escarp]

that's actually a good point, I wonder what will happen to blu when they do the stat squish

[bold condor]

At this point I've accepted the map we see in the trailer as the current iteration of the map.

[teal geyser]

We aren't, I give up with EW lol

[soft gyro]

yeah, but kinda weird that a gendered race is higher up in expansion when really the race shouldve been both genders released at shb

[woven escarp]

will blu just become totally useless without OHKO mechanics?

[maiden lodge]

Its stats will get squished, not a big deal.

[teal geyser]

Same

[fair plume]

The elvl thing would work, it just depends on if a BLU's elemental damage is the same as Eureka's

[bold condor]

But I also have to begrudgingly admit that's probably better from a storytelling perspective.

[gaunt star]

Imagine caring about blue mage when reaper was just announced

[jade phoenix]

2 years ago i predicted that SE would release them later and present it as "yo look we fixed the problem we created and its a feature"

[maiden lodge]

No.... not the 'how elements work' part. Elemental effect itself.

[teal geyser]

I mean...we'll see what happens, they never said it'd be locked behind EW

[woven escarp]

but the way int affects blu damage is very different from the way every other job is designed, since there's no weapon damage to stabilize the effect

[jade phoenix]

but tbh i'm happy with it regardless

[maiden lodge]

Which doesn't matter as much as you think.

[bold condor]

Because it means the zones written into this expansion are probably going to feel necessary and not there to pad out the story like Ruby Sea and (although I like it) Azim Steppe.

[soft gyro]

hopefully yeah.

[torpid yoke]

You gotta believe 🥲 we can manifest it together

[gaunt star]

I liked both Ruby Sea and Azim Steppe.

[woven escarp]

I mean, blu is already like 70% of the dps of a real caster for the same ilvl, rip stat squish

[vale dome]

I mean, blue mage is fun and easy for FATE grinding, definitely helped me out doing a few resistance steps

[gaunt star]

After all, the Sea Parts for We Alone.

[teal geyser]

I believe in an Ilsabard expansion where we get a Landis city as a city 😢

[maiden lodge]

It's... not. It's actually competitive at level 70 now that it's got the full kit.

[bold condor]

Half of them seem to either be Sharlayan, Ancient, or BOTH, and then the other half are dealing with the actual end of the world happening in realtime.

[fair plume]

You mean the wheel, right? The added "elemental" effect it gives

[gaunt star]

Idk if I’ll do the next part of bozja the last set of relics did 0 for me

[teal geyser]

or BOTH
Floating land?

[edgy gale]

I'm loving that the zones as well. Feels like they took cues from Il Mheg and just went crazy

[bold condor]

Labyrinthos.

[torpid yoke]

Cal you know that won't happen

[vale dome]

I still need to finish up my DR grind, 7/15

[jade phoenix]

the biggest problem with blu as a regular job is that SE has no way of preventing someone from entering a dungeon or raid with complete trashfire spells and ruining parties for people

[teal geyser]

Probably missed something then in the trailer

[maiden lodge]

No. Elemental Effect itself. The stat that determines how much damage you deal and take--you know, the reason you have elvl in the first place? The thing Eureka gear adds to?

[teal geyser]

I believeeeeee

[bold condor]

I'm on the fence, it looks like Sharlayan stuff and it looks like Ancient stuff, so I'm not 100% on what it is.

But Sharlayans build some wild ass crazy shit.
