Theyre fun
So if you want healing, plenty of options
There are also support builds, which are seperate from healers, giving you all the good buffs instead of just topping your health off
The best one is Chrono, but you shouldnt play Chrono, or you get stuck in Chrono jail
my healing class is also books
you start as an arcanist and can stem into summoner or scholar
Ugh
I'm such a expanse stan that I was just analyzing the filenames of some promo photos that were just released
Right but are your books able of setting people on fire?
Hah
ok but
Our books are better
do u have an emote where you can scroll on a phone
we do ๐ญ
ur books are not better
our books can summon allies
summon big ass shields
Got that as well
ok these magic books are sounding pretty similar
also erm
my character can do that just in general
so
warrior of light things โข
Wait you have projectile reflects in FFXIV?
Ah
Yeah we have those
So if someone fires, say, a barrage of arrows at you
You can just no u them
We can do that with (almost) all attacks
Unblockable ones cant be, but I dont think any PvE attacks are unblockable
do you get a character introduced to you only for them to be cruelly ripped away from you and then shown to be the driving force of your character
Thats one of the 3
First of all
How Dare
That is the rudest thing Ive heard in months, and I play League
hey Syd, how do I sort my inventory?
ah, you actually had to right click on a specific item
into it*
yeah :(
you can do the same for ur armoury
ME? IM NOT A NERD i didnt just go in depth on the scenic choices of my fav characters death
huge nerd
also i have an essay on alphinaud when you meet him
i love him so much
hes a little brat in ARR but i still love him
no but we have nanamo shes just as good
I very much so doubt that
Alright but is she a huge nerd who also takes great joy in using heavy artillery on crystalized enemies
To the point of maniacal laughter
no but ||she did pretend to be dead||
||Taimi is suffering from a congenital disease causing her legs to not work as well that will inevitably spread through her whole body killing her, and her response to that is to just say screw that and do as much as she can||
||that sucks and im sorry for her but we've got someone like that too, y'shtola is blind||
||Blindness isnt nearly on the level of slowly losing all motor functions and dying while still being a teenager||
Oh and we have the dredge
A race of mole people
Whose government is the "moletariate"
are they playable
sorry i cant reply im taking care of my 3 kids in ffxiv
You didn't tell me the dragon people have tails as well as horns D:
yeah
viera deserve tails
like, bun tails?
yeah
little pompoms?
Such a shame that I cant convince people to play GW2 :S
What about it exactly
shrug didn't like the graphics, didn't like my character, it felt clunkier than FFXIV
My experience is subjective, for the record
GW2s biggest appeal is that its smooth, as opposed to FFXIV where you get hit by the brickwall of a GCD
what does GCD even mean?
Global CoolDown
Basically if you use one skill, you cant use any others for X amount of time
Its 2 seconds in FFXIV
Well, no, there are still things like casting times, and skills with different use cases
I would say it is
I dont like waiting that long before doing anything, it feels like youre waiting more than youre actually fighting
Granted, my optimal combat system is full-on action
But GW2 does have a nice balance I find
the animations fill up the ,,2 seconds
you played pugilist
my GCD is like, 2.5 seconds
thats because you played the tutorial pal
Right, Pugilist/Rogue
rogue is a completely different class
you played pugilist/monk
pugilist is the class
monk isthe job
rogue is fun
bc you get to be a ninja
you still cant
So I was Pugilist til I could get Rogue
its one you pick up in limsa
you also were only level 20
you get more abilities to fill out the time
not everything is effected by the gcd
rogue is a minor support too
Though I looked up the classes I was most interested in (Ninja and uh Samurai)
ah i cant switch to ninja rn
ahh yeah samurai is locked at lvl 50 and is locked behind hw
It was also mostly waiting
It really is
battle systems are different
I mean, especially since its 2 seconds for .5 seconds of action
why even have a gcd
That would be my question
sigh
Though part of that is because monster hunter doesnt have free-flowing aerial combat
And I love aerial combat
play kh
omg
youd like dragoon in ffxiv
if you play dragoon i probably will resent you
in general
healing drg isthe worst
.>
Uh, I dont like FFXIVs gameplay in general as Ive said
IM SORRY OCE UR VALID
Also their aerial combat isnt proper aerial combat
i know im just saying
why did we get so spicy over shadowbringers ratings tho
No idea
im just proud of my game for getting a 92% from a 42%
Sure, fair enough
GW2 didnt have that problem, launch was 90% ๐
Oh, huh
At least our mounts are better
Yes
๐
The quality of the gif isnt great
But thats one of the skimmer idle animations
Every mount has them
And theyre great
you say that like ours dont lol
I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST 3 HOURS
The Griffon mount also does big cat stretches
Oh but you know what the best part is?
Our mounts dont feel like just speed boost devices
They have actual weight to them
And the rollerbeetle lets you drift
ours are plot relevant
we have chocobo races
Do those involve drifting?
no, this isnt mario kart
Thought so
planetside 2 is the best MMO
i literally have no idea who the people who made gw2 are
Western game devs, and the makers of the best MMO
you wouldnt have?? seen any of it ????
in game at least unless youve seen it outside
It can hold 12 people
and can be equipped with 2 grenade launchers
Thats a pinata
ohh ic
X'D
okay thats cool oce
Scythe for life
Papa vanu bless you
thats pretty >:O
She's my daughter X'D
hooray spandex
I took these before I got the lumifiber upgrade
But yeah, I mained galaxy/sundy
We once put a sunderer on top of the tower at The Crown
More pinatas
one time our whole world blew up in game
Yeah ok but that only happened because the first game sucked
So it doesnt count
Did you try beatin gher up?
SHES TWELVE YEARS OLD AND CONFIDING IN ME BECAUSE SHE THINKS HER FATHER FIGURE HATES HER
NO
But she made you cry, that sounds like a good reason to beat someone up =\
Oceloctopus supports punching twelve year olds
WHY IS SHADOWBRINGERS A HORROR
actually only two of my spells are linked by cooldown
my gcd is 2.41 seconds
but most of that is taken up by cast time
looks at my 120s cooldown spell
sigh
hmm
dancer cooldown is 2.31
dude i wish i could see my rogue class but
i dont have the weapons on me
it is
Because everyone could go rogue at any moment
non ironically
ive been betrayed so many times
im literally the warrior of light im saving eorzea but
Well that just ruins my joke
go off i guess
also
the 12 year old that made me cry?
had never seen a fight before and i just left her in an enemy stronghold
.... oops? her dads gonna kill me
You fool, dont you realize what youve done
Characters cant be killed off-screen
You gave her unlimited training
She will become too powerful
gfdgfjdkgdf
shes already ||the oracle of light||
||the last oracle of light died offscreen so hopes are low||
Nah thats Maki Oze from fire brigade
You can tell because unlike Tifa she actually has muscles
hmmm mi recognise her
fire force app
And also drawn with the muscles she should have
Yeah Fire Force Fire Brigade
Not sure which name is the current one
Could you imagine if Tifa had the physique she should have
Oh its bc she looks like the main female character in the vocaloid song platonic girl
and fire
Huh, thats a funny coencidence
cant believe they made a switch 2
Yeah its good
I wouldnt ever use the docking mode
So 200 for a Switch is much better
So I can play Astral Chain
And uh
Splatoon 3 if it comes out
I don't even have a TV to dock it to
And any Ace Attorney that might come out
I do, but I just stream PS4 games from my PC
Which you cant with a Switch IIRC
Funny way to spell "Gumshoe"
.... oldbag?
I think we got enough out of the Edgeworth Oldbag gag
And outside of that she isnt interesting
Instead give me Lana Skye
Nah Diego was good
we did ?
I think?
Oh yeah that was part of the first trial
Nvm then
The only part of his that was iffy was his tendency to call Mia "kitten"
But I liked his determination and his rather extreme reaction to his failure
godot is only good bc of how he saved maya
Eh, that was more Mia being on her first case
Its not like Mia was any different with Phoenix's first case
Or Phoenix with Apollos first case
mia wasnt condescending
Ehhh, she was
she encouraged him
That too
But there were condescending moments
And again, even then Hobo!Phoenix was way more condescending
God Hobo!Phoenix was such a troll
okay yeah but AA4 phoenix is just
I DIDNT MEAN THAT
i broke it please help
awful*
GFCGHDCGHDCGH
IM GAY I CANT SPELL AND PROXY IS OPPRESSING ME
Can you imagine
its not his style......
def not
Oh my god that idea has ascended
theres no way that could ever happen
Hobo!Edgeworth hanging out with Gumshoe at Eldons Noodle stand
you know what id pay to see?
like edgeworth HAD his moment of rock bottom and he didnt go that route
Just sitting there eating ramen
phoenix not be awful to his daughter and hide her only remaining family from her
but
yknow
Uh
its entirely his responsibility to tell BOTH apollo and trucy
yeah but shes like m.i.a
didnt she say 'are you gonna tell them?'
listen its grown old now
trucy deserves to know she deserves another big story
The problem is that there is more
but also apollos had too many stories
But its spoilers for the latest one
But anyway, they might be told soon-ish
The thing is
spoiler tag it
Would it make a big difference
i dont like SoJ so
pfft okay
Stop giving me quests D:
aww oce
And by arguably I mean "Im only saying this to be fair to the other side, even though its undeniable"
I am psychologically incapable of leaving NPCs unsatisfied
Briefly DGS2 went above it
soj is strong with story
Buuuut then I thought about DGS 2 again
Huh?
investigations 2 is right there
I thought the gameplay was nice
The new mechanic was actually cool
Also Heavy Metal Jesus
its cool? not good
and i HATE nahyuta oh my god
true
the only good things about khura'in are ahlbi and maya
soj is just apollo justice 2
Uhm
but its incredibly weak
Heavy Metal Jesus?????
fairs
Also, Datz Are'bal
OKAY hes good too
Larry Butz, except not a jerk and sleezy
Thats a spicy take
i know
oh im not saying its the best
im saying its my favourite
just because i like it doesnt mean its good
Ah, fair
drew????????
Hobo!Phoenix
klavier <3<3<3<3
I know
shes very good
i dunno why people dont like klavier
Hes a fop
i guess hes kinda boring bc he actively helps the defence but like hes the best
he has a persona
he acts like a fop but
you can clearly see throughout the game thats not actually him
thats true
Nah he is a fop. He is a good person, but a fop
i suppose
klavier and kristophs story isnt finished and that rlly
urgh
please i just wanna see more
Also, Sherlock Holmes is basically Klavier but better
Idk, it kinda is
There really isnt anywhere to go from here
theres so many loose ends in aa
Yes, but not in AA4 I dont think
you say that because you dont like it
I do like AA4
Its just, it got closure
It was an oddly self-contained AA title
Well, they did expand on Apollo
But thats also basically over
There arent really any plot threads left for the Gavins or the Gramaryes
apollo justice 2
Also Mr Reus was great
klavier on tour in khura'in
I also dont think that that is a plot thread
it came out of nowhere
I also wouldnt agree with that
hes got other things they could have built on LIKE TRUCY
theyre distancing him from trucy
His dad was an unknown
whats the point of making them related?????? for the funzies???
they could have introduced a father for him without THAT
he deserves better
Yes but that would feel weak
grumbles
The fact that his father was a point of intrigue meant it had to be big
soj was weak
i understand, everyone does
Its also nicely tied to the mystery of where Maya went
im just mad because theyre pushing trucy out of apollos story when
again
thats the only good thing
theyre pushing trucy out when shes such a big part of his story
Is she though?
shes literally his sister
Half-sister, but yes
she thinks her whole family is dead
Well no
Wrong one
fdhjbdfgdfj
The yellow Gramarye
hes also not family
he was zaks friend
thats why he was in troupe grammarye
valant?
val something
Right, the misleading part of the name
Yeah
Valant
Fair enough
But uh
If she finds out about Apollo, its not like he is gone
She can visit him
thats funny bc he lives across the world
Its just not a big plot element, it would just be a nice scene
she cant just go to khura'in whenever
Well, no
they explained its super far away and expensive
Japan and Khura'in is close
they arent,, in japan
Maya could get there
also the naming is awful in soj its so bad
I just leave this here
khura'in ??? really?
Please
Inga Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III is the single most glorious AA name
IT IS NOT
IT IS
and the puns are too obvious and they lose their funny
like?? drew misham??? thats a good pun right there
ahlbi ur'gaid
....
[crickets]
Oh please, like thats any worse than Luke Atmey
And Luke Atmey is one of the best punny names
we dont talk about luke atmey
Yes we do
or shelly dekiller
He has the best name, the best theme and the best exclamation
we dont talk about them in my house
i guess
I mean he clearly isnt a hero
kristoph was a good villain too
the last case of aa4 is my second favourite case ever
Also, SoJ gave us a character with the same defect I have
So I appreciate it for that
valid
Mine would be, hm
bridge to the turnabout is up there too
Hold on, lemme check
bro im going to bed after that
Yeah it was JFA
ok epic
AA7 is gonna disappoint me and yknow what i accept that
Music: Reminiscence ~ The Fire Carves Scars Game: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice for All Composer: Masakazu Sugimori Arranger: Akemi Kimura
They have had so many years
They better not disappoint us
Give us Gumshoe
Give us Maya
Hell, do the most radical thing possible
Maya in a game without being accused of murder again
bring back franziska
Make one of the credit scenes the marriage of Franziska and Adrian Andrews
loool that would mean capcom has to be good
Crap youre right
Also Gumshoes and Maggies wedding
With Franziska as a begrudging bridesmaid
And Edgeworth as a begrudging Usher
narumitsu wedding come on you were so close w soj dlc
and i respect your opinion โ
h
Though I know you dont like that pairing
it creeps me out im sorry
isnt it an american based game
Yes but how much LGBT representation do you see in WoW
ok but blizzard sucks?
Note: I actually dont know
Just saying, Anet is pretty good with that
The playerbase is uh, hit or miss though
As it ever so often is
same w ffxiv
one day ill get a tank who goes at the pace im comfortable with and nicely explains the mechanics
the next i get yelled at for not being able to move while casting a spell in 2.5 seconds
Anyway the best part is that they actually realized "hey, magic would make transitioning a lot easier"
So we have a character who transitioned using magic
thats cool i think
For others its an uplifting idea, a world where its not the slow, horrible process it is
im too tired rn
My guild leader who is trans likes it IIRC
But I guess as always its a matter of perspective
im going to sleep now i am too tired
Though the character in question was made by a trans employee of Arenanet so
thats coo l
Good night
gn
cough overwatch cough
reminds me of a time when a Tank and Healer were just yelling at one another while I was clearing some ARR stuff.
Tank was mad at Healer for doing their job.
What do I have to buy to get access to the Au Ra?
Heavensward
I don't see anything for that
just like, the beginner thing, and the new thing
at least on steam
it might be better to not buy it through steam?
oh i see
the shadowbringers dlc includes all previous expansions
Hmm
I'll give it two weeks I guess
as much as I want to be a cool dragon
two weeks is usually how long it takes for me to get bored of an MMO
they need to make questlines for folks who do crafting/gathering
D:
I figured it out
I need to finish the "go talk to x" quests with my botanist gear on
gotta wear the right clothes to get the job
also I demand that I get a magical girl transformation sequence for when I switch back to my lancer gear
Right, I forgot thats an overwatch game 
iโm real worried that iโve ruined oce by getting them into ffxiv bc this is all a mood
if you want to be given good things and then have other good things cruelly ripped away from you, you should play ffxiv: heavensward
iโm a walking ffxiv ad whoops
no lie getting people into games you love is the best feeling
If they like them, that is
yes!!!
23 now, damn...
jeez, last i heard it was only 10 
i mean, "only", that's, uh. still a lot of people.
yeah...fire and rescue probably working their way through the building and finding folks
that's so sad
they've done some stuff that's really touched my heart
they don't deserve this ๐ฆ
yeah 
hope they can recover from it
Me too. It's so tragic
thatโs awful 
Yeah I heard about KyoAni burning down too, it's very heartbreaking
Worse part is that they are suspecting it was an attack instead of an accident
why would anyone attack an animation studio? it's not like it holds political power
the news says 33 confirmed dead now
Personal reasons?
apparently it was because he believed KyoAni ripped off his work
that's not something worth killing people over, isn't it? and so many employees there with no say over this either
the news said 36 were in hospital but now with 33 confirmed dead...
this might actually be the first rude person i've encountered in ffxiv
(i was the only person in the party who had the little leaf icon next to their name)
i actually missed the entire final boss of the dungeon because i was watching the plot cutscenes
final fantasy 14
my guy, i've been playing world of warcraft since it was launched. i'm well aware of that.
@fading spire the suspect is not named and motive is discussed in the same article as linked above
I see
That's pretty horrible
I think that this studio ripped off my work so I'm just gonna punish literally everyone who just works there instead of proving my case in court
@ionic viper Iโm sorry for your loss
two pings in a row 
Combo

it's a combo that makes you lose points actually

anyway, on the other hand, nobody else rolled for any of the gear that dropped so i guess i got some nice things out of it
Welp
there's nothing to stop people from being rude but there's the thing of being nice to other people, good of them to leave you the gear
SPROUTS GET OPPRESSED
IM SORRY SPARROW
i love all my sprout friends <3
also they werent sprouts so they were probably doing duty roulette for levelling
ffxiv players arent usually rude either
welcome to the internet??
no its called hp i just say vitality
man ppl are gonna be rude in any online game
yeah
GW2 has an actual vitality stat
Nah, not in Shardbound
The last 5 players are nice
luckily most ffxiv players are lovely ^^ we've had an increase in mean tanks recently though :(
Thatโs why I stick to my singleplayers
Note: bringing up a game with 5 players might be cheating
Sometimes people are mean in singleplayer too
sparrow if u dont want the sprout for a bit
go into erm,,
hold on its been a while LOL
OK press O then right click on your name and click edit search info
you can change your status
aw
that was a big mood
you lose the sprout around halfway through shadowbringers now i believe
i lost it after heavensward B)
in that last dungeon i was just following along behind the tank like AAAAAAAAAAA because they jsut. kept running
T_T
gotta go FAST apparently
if youre new you should def mention it
the tanks def ruin the experience by going too fast
I hear so many tank complaints lately and Iโm not even into this game
Itโs just very much in my orbit
i didn't...... exactly have time,,
And apparently tanks suck lately lol
ohh ouch
yeah
i dunno what it is
i think its people playing gunbreaker
because it plays like a dps
i have very bad anxiety w going into dungeons as healer bc of stuff like that
oh my god, i bought new gear bc my old stuff was getting kinda dated and i'm stuck at 35 for now so i might as well set up for when (yeah, when) i buy into this whole mess
and i'm
i'm so purple
purple and yellow apparently NOT this gal's colour
i have dyes, i literally bought this armour a minute ago, let me live
i would def buy you an outfit but we're on dif data centers and im saving for a house w my friend
she has like 900k i have 120k loool
honestly the items themselves look nice but i'm not loving the plum jumpsuit look
I like the purp but that yellow not as much
i think it's more the fact that it's all the same colour
it blends together into some awful jumpsuit
the yellow dyes in this game make me sad theyre all ugly
i DO love that shirt though
i've been wearing one in dark blue for like 15 levels because nothing else better in stats came along
market board isn't available on free trial
i might go with a red outfit.....
red dyes are very good
wish i could get dalamud red dye but the closest thing i can get right now is rust red and that's.... not as great :c
:c im sorry
the free trial is pretty limiting in the sense of
interacting with others
Are they easy to get?
i bought 99 glamour prisms the other day loool
you can cradt them
or the market board has them
albeit expensive
Ah, I see
becauys the players inflate the prices
Can you just swap skins on the fly with them?
god bless the guy who destroyed the materia market
i mean,, yeah
we dont have skins
you can make armour look like another item of clothing
if the item youre trying to make it look like is higher level than the item youre changing
you cant
and you cant cross-class glamour
so i cant glamour my healer gear to look like tank gear
The latter makes sense but the first is lame
Does it though?
yes
I'd be disappointed if only legendaries could look like legendaries in GW2
if i cant wear clothes because im too low level
why should i be allowed to just glamour it
to look like
im wearing the clothes
lol
all the actual outfit stuff is level 1
Does it get consumed?
no
Ah, that's good
the glamour prisms get consumed
But swapping between 10 clothes on the fly would be a hassle I guess
thats why we have gear sets
Gear sets?
Oh. That's cool
But you need to carry the items you want to swap to with you, right?
Hm, still useful
GW2 doesn't have that
But changing appearance is easier
You have all unlocked skins in your wardrobe tab
And you can just transmute your items into any item of the same category on the fly
So long as you have transmutation charges
And no level restriction, so you can make your PvP toon look fabulous
eugh
pvp
do yall have some sort of rested exp bonus
we get a bonus onto our exp while we're logged out and when we're in a sanctuary
i have to go heal for 18 people now
T_T
goodbye
good luck
I mean
Gw2 isn't stingy on the exp
The levelcap never goes up, and getting to 80 is easy
[chinhands] i can't get over how adorable my character looks in her conjurer outfit
she's only a wee bab but her lil wizard hat.......
Can baby wear talllll hat?
baby can wear kinda tall hat!
im doing awful healing yall are distracitng me hgjdfgd
i keep alt tabbing
If you're reading this message you're not healing efficiently enough!!!
That goes for everyone
I KNOW
but also
6 healers
i think ill be fine
'stingy on exp'
i got 7mil exp
which
still wasnt enough to level me up but
what can you do
