So I have a question that has popped up in a few different people's reviews of the MSQ and I am interested in what you all think. Who do you think the target audience for the MSQ is? What age/demographic? FFXIV is now over 10 years old, and even if you were 13 at the start you are now 23 and...

If the 4th is the 'Cowboy Western' zone than yeah. I enjoyed it cause your tagalong chatterbox is gone, but not much really happens. The story there has very minor relevance as they talk about Eren's history a little bit, but its all pretty much repeated again later so you can skip it. I did...

I didn't bother trying to remember her whole sequence. Just focused on 2 or 3 spots and watched those so I could just step back and forth between them. You should be able to see an order in a much more local spot like that. Move to this one, than this one, and if needed either back or to a...

I thought the raids weren't bad. There were some new mechanics introduced that hadn't been seen in any other raids that were interesting, but they weren't particularly difficult to figure out if you paid attention (That latter part is important). Overall mechanics I would say were enjoyable...

Is there any server us old folks are gathering on, since we can't move around easily and I'd rather play shitty survival games with friends than solo.

Sorry, think I wasn't clear enough. EX Roulette, or EXDR is what we call the expert duty roulette in my FC. The end game dungeons. Yeah, the extremes won't be on the roulette for the common person, but the expert dungeons will be. And that is what I question about. When we start seeing more...

I realize I should have been more concise, and my 3am ramblings prolly should have waited till I slept. She does say she is proud of him, but in a more oblique passive way. People have commented that they hate her character, and I wanted to get at that and how different she is in the other...

So I will not claim she is the overall director of the story path. I think there are other issues underneath, but I do think Kate is a part of the problem. I understand that there is a bit of a collaborative approach as they want the story to be relevant to all languages so the EN localization...

This has nothing to do with Grummz, and until you mentioned it I was unaware he was trying to insert himself into the conversation. This is poor writing and I am going to guess a self insert or at least a character she identifies with. She /is/ a writer, despite being a 'localization team' on...

Maybe...

Wuk's VA isn't good. She's prolly bad, but we've had other bad VAs and stuff before. What we haven't had is a bad VA who speaks more than twice any other VA and is the sole focus of the entire MSQ. Even conversations between other characters, she butts in and is sucking all the air out of the...

I don't really think this game is, technically speaking, good. However, I am having a lot of fun with it. Story and itemization etc are all just kinda meh, but I can't help but have fun grappling around and killing stuff. Its... fulfilling.

So I've given this some thought as I keep logging out to take breaks cause holy fuck this game, but. I'll try to give you a short version here. I'll do a long version later if you all want to explore it further. This story is written by technicians, not artists. These are people who have...

Question, do you learn weapons proficiencies by type, or do you learn them by individual weapon? Cause I thought it was the former, but it looks like its the latter...

So apparently a newer Asus motherboard and a a 4070ti super is a bad combo. Updated graphics drivers and motherboard, and I still can't get this thing to make it past compiling shaders. Nevermind. Asus and other motherboard manufacturers keep overclocking their shit past Intel's specs...

Any hints or suggestions on starting this? Any money traps or shit they have set to make you waste your starting BS to encourage you to buy more, or can I just jump in shoot people and be fine?

Ok. I just hit the cooking challenge. I can't. The fact that fucking fat ass two head isn't in chains facing a special two headed guillotine after trying to unleash literal fucking armageddon is too much for me at the moment. "Nah dude. You did crimes against humanity, veritable war crimes...

Yeah. Not saying the FF community isn't a disaster, least the EN side of it. I'm in an FC that took a really interesting social turn. Its a huge FC where there has been a slow creep towards heavy social justice. Originally there were a bunch of people that were kicked out for making really...

Yeah. Apparently if you stick your head into the dark corners of FFXIV, it gets /really/ degenerate. I hear tales of housing that is turned into... questionable clubs with some pretty wild themes and goings on. To say the ERP community in 14 is alive and well is apparently a large...

Stick with it. Just swap voices or whatever. Mechanically, the game is extremely enjoyable. I am just going to pop this one up to mid story doldrums. It really feels like the whole first part is super forced just to move us into a position for the rest of the story. I am not a fan of it...

Suddenly I have a guess why one VA isn't up to par and might have been hired. Sigh.

I have very much been a EN holdout amongst my friends and thought Emet was wonderful. The Endwalker set of Ascian VAs were all good. FF14 has been one of the few games or shows where I have felt the EN voice cast has been stellar pretty much across the board. I didn't actually dislike Lyse...

Comparing Wuk Lamat to ARR Alphie is interesting. ARR Alphi was annoying as shit, but at least had competence to back him up. His comeuppance though was like honey. The reason the voice acting bugs me, and perhaps this is a me thing, is it keeps ruining the suspension of disbelief. Every...

I appreciate the complaint that the first couple zones are more visual novel than MMO game. Only like two fights? in total for the zones and its a long rather slog. Swapping over to the JP voice for Wuk Lamat was a game changer though. I actually feel like she is a good hearted, compassionate...

I finally broke down and switched over to the Japanese voices. I no longer want Wuk Lamat brained to death with a soup spoon. The difference is night and day. No, I don't speak Japanese but just something in the 'holy fuck I'm a retarded child' of her English mien reminds me of talking with...

I don't think its really bad so far, though I am just at the beginning. It just feels, out of place and like it is aimed at a different audience. I expect we'll eventually get into something more meaty that requires us to come together with the power of friendship to save the world, just like...

I get all that, and I am generally having faith that Yoshi will do a decent job tying it all together and this falls more into a pet peeve of mine. Why keep pretending to give me a choice when you actually aren't giving me one. Give me some answer that lets me dissent but move on, "I don't...

I am not far into the story yet, so maybe something changes but... Am I the only one bothered by how they keep asking me, "Are you serious about doing this, are you serious about supporting Wuk Lamat?" but they never give me the option to say no? I get it, I expect some bushy tailed, naïve...

Sorry to see Alphinaud go, but after the whole Crystal Braves thing we all knew his days were numbered. Nice of Estinien to put an end to it before it got worse. HIs being there to comfort Alisaie was a nice twist. Speaking of getting worse, please tell me I can join the team against Wuk...

And so it begins. 2,307th in queue. :)

I get the DA not going after him, but arbitration giving him the remainder of his contract is what makes it more curious. And fucking LOL at him and the tranny pics. That's hilarious. I wonder if he was all down for the cam shows till the dick flopped out. :eek:

Think something was missed here. I was saying the Cody person who tweeted could be one of the sources Rolling Stone used. After getting a better read, I was wrong and it was an additional source besides Cody, which I stated above. I reread my posts to check, but I never said the Rolling Stone...

Thanks, and this pretty much what was summed up by the other sites posting their articles. Only real additional news is that apparently this source isn't the one who made the original tweet. The Golden Sparrow and OSIT stuff are really just throw aways to help protect Twitch imo, since OSIT...

Nah, I was talking about wall bosses. Since some of them appear to have the facing marker and the '90deg left and right' marker on them, I didn't realize they didn't require positionals. This is my bad.

It feels like they really need to dump the positionals. I know is a relic of days gone, but each time I see a big boss that is off the side of the arena and only has a frontal hitbox I just sigh inside. Perhaps those bosses are set to specifically ignore the positional mechanics and all, but...

Ain't shit happening to Rolling Stone. They don't have to be truthful about what happened, only accurate in quoting what the 'anonymous source' as saying. That's the twist of it all. If it turns out Doc is a pedo, yay print more copies. If it turns out Doc is proven /not/ to have done what...

Yeah. He's cooked, and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone drops him and demonetizes him. He is going to be unpersoned and they are now turning towards those people associated with him, which is rather interesting cause a little more digging into it apparently has all this shit popping up when...

While he is absolutely cooked in regards to public opinion and his career, this article (headline anyway, fuck if I am paying Rolling Stone, got an archived link?) means absolutely nothing. I took a short Google to look at other sites talking about that article and no new names dropped. Hell...

Could be absolute complete bullshit, but I am kinda hoping it has some truth cause I'd like to see it all burn in glorious bankrupting lawsuits.
