Yeah, it's basically them strawmanning it to get what they want. "BUT LORE SAYS MALE MIQOTE ARE RARE AND THIS CENSUS SAYS MOST PEOPLE PLAY MALE MIQOTE SO LORE IS DUMB BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH"

If you care about your sense of sanity, don't go over to the FFXIV reddit right now. The amount of salt going around about them having gender locked Viera/Hrothgar is palpable right now. And 'that' community wonders why they are so far behind in equality in the real world right now. You gotta...

I'm pumped. Though the last time I played an MMO's 3rd expansion involving your character going off-world and also the introduction of a cat-person race, it was the beginning of the end...looking at you, Luclin. Lolol

FFXIV Mogstation - Sale Sale going on starting today until late June. 30% off the expansion story skips and individual job boosts you can buy in store.

I'll take no UI modifications vs. them allowing us to have 3rd party UI mods, only to then inevitably have someone invent DBM/BigWigs/GTFO for raid content, and all the cancer that comes with that.

Best part about Scholar is it levels alongside Summoner (Since they both share the same original job, Arcanist). So if you got Scholar to 34 you technically have a level 34 Summoner too once you unlock the job.

You people on the MSQ - if you haven't heard yet, take the boat from Limsa near the Arcanist guild (I think)? Takes you straight to the little outpost with the Waking Sands, no more running from Horizon.

I can resist the urge this time around. Selo's starts on Luclin? That alone was enough for me to be all, nah. The nostalgia tied to the first 3 expansions is all that held power over me.

why are u so fuken weird

I mean if you wanna look at it like that, sure whatever floats your boat. The simple answer though as to why WoW combat feels that way is obvious though: they have a ton more instant cast spells, and they don't have 3-button sequenced combos like most of the jobs on FFXIV do. That alone is...

I think they'll be inundated with so many complaints, at least initially, that most of this shit is gonna get swept under the rug. You know how sensitive some of the more casual players are on this game.

Well yeah, I know where the main idea of the combat feeling slower comes from, I was just hypothesizing if using a controller could make the slowness seem even more WORSE than it already is. Oh and yeah I agree about the late game part with the controller; that's why I really couldn't get used...

Hmm, just thinking in my own head here, but for those of you in this thread who originally (or still have) a problem with the GCD/slow combat in this game - are you controller users by chance? What I mean is, based on my personal experience probably every other game i've played that either...

Hahaha yeah, I think it was like this with Heavensward too - the CE sold out in 2 days or something like that. Hell, even tickets to the 2018 Fanfest in Vegas...that shit sold out in a few minutes I want to say, and those were $150.00 a pop too.

FFXIV Census is a place that sort of tracks it, even breaks it down by most played race/job/etc. It's not an official source though, so take it with a grain of salt. Then again, last time I want to say they officially released a sub amount, it was a skewed number, sort of like how other MMO's...

Tickles my asshole to see a queue to log in on Leviathan on a Thursday night. Popularity has been surging these past few months. That being said, this trick works on PC (most all the time) but if you do encounter a queue, esp a smaller one, usually hitting Cancel and trying to log in again...

You're right, it is apples and oranges, but you were the one who originally made the comparison. :P I simply said it was WoW nerds doing the raging about it because those of who've been through the FFXIV expansions know this is how it's always worked. That and it's easy to blame idiocy on...

Not exactly. See, it didn't matter in WoW - by the time of the BFA pre-order they had already made all previous expansions, including Legion, free with a $14.99 sub cost. You didn't even have to buy Legion anymore. If they actually sold BFA with the tagline of getting a free copy of Legion...

FYI for you newcomers, SE is pretty chill on the pre-orders, as is doesn't charge you until it ships, ie June. What this also means though in cases like this, where they offer past expansions as part of the new expansion bundle, you WILL NOT be able to access Heavensward/Stormblood until June...

Will only matter for around another month. I think it's the second half of 4.5 in early March where they are implementing the World Transfer thing, so you can hop over and stay on any server you want. (Within your Data Center that is.)

I honestly thought that was their whole plan when it was first unveiled. I was shocked when it was just a two-seater.

That Nier Automata 24 man raid announcement had the chat channels squeeing with delight. But after seeing that Collector's Edition in game literal Squall's gunblade to go with my new job...I've been an FFVIII apologist on all these forums of ours for almost 17 years now. Soon™ I will be living...

I got high and watched this. It was awesome, lol. People are so god damn overcritical these days.

Is the FoH clan still active on this game? Trying to get caught up, and I know that weekly clan reward is key, and my old clan is dead.

What Pyros said. If you notice too, as it's been the trend I think for all of the Omega raids this expansion, if you're just doing Normal (not Savage) the first 3 fights of a wing will tend to be solo-tankable, and the last wing tends to have a tank swap (O4N, O8N, O12N). It almost does seem...

Judges were only ever mentioned in FFXII - and the peon version of them didn't even use Gunblades; how many of the Judge Magisters did? I know it wasn't all of them, either. The Garlean Legati we have seen over the years are clearly meant to be the homage to the Judges from FFXII. I don't...

The only thing on my mind is: Squall. Glamour. For. Dayzzzzzzzzzz.

If they call the job "Judge" i'm gonna cringe. I get it, FFXII was cool, but I don't think from a lore perspective having thousands of "Judges" running around or having an entire NPC group of "Judges" is gonna fly.

Hahaha the price of that house really put things in perspective for me a bit. I knew it was bad there but good lawd.

Haha you're probably right. I guess in a way I am severely out of touch with what the majority of players out there expect from a modern MMO. I'm glad you're still enjoying it, even with the gated climb through the story; as others have said it's worth it in the long run. I honestly don't...

I've actually been on FFXIV since 2.0 launched, I just did all of this gated content back when it was current so it didn't feel so bad. In short, no I don't know your pain. But still, it was an enjoyable ride - why is everyone these days in such a hurry to get to the end game? And your...

XIV Style is gonna be a little bit more updated that the site that was linked before. Layout isn't as pretty, but hey it's got the new shit on there and it's broken down by location. It doesn't have a section for custom made glamours or anything but it's something.

What a crazy concept, actually having to play the game in the order in which content was released. How dare they. :P

Edit: nm

To each his own I guess. It's hard to debate with some of these views. Art and designs are bland? Literally like every single "Horde" building in WoW is the copy/pasted generic wood + bone + spike structure. Every single Horde outpost is the exact same buildings, depending on what race they...

It's not that, I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all you're just like.....completely wrong lol. You honestly believe those cartoony races with their disproportional arms/body muscle, plagued with scoliosis, with armor that doesn't even look attached to the body half the time...

Yeah, I can't tell if that guy is a troll or what, but if it's not, god damn dude.... That's a serious case of WoW namebrand rose tinted glasses. You lost me at "WoW character models are better."

I'll never get the complaints on the GCD - I mean sure it's slower than other games but why does everything have to be a comparison? If you gotta compare everything, use the time between abilities to appreciate everything else this game does right over the MMO you probably recently quit. Take...
