Final Fantasy XIV Community - Japanese MMO infested with trannies, gooners, and pedophiles

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Not if they can't afford sex change surgeries and calls their penis "girl dick".

You can always afford to chop off your dick.

Meat Cleavers are only 15 Dollaridoos at Home Depot.

 

[Well Intentioned]

They hide Glamours/Transmog behind a level 15 quest and require you to make items to do it, and it used to be gated behind a level 50 quest that required the Main Storyline to be completed apparently.

The fact that several basic features are locked behind MSQ is not a new concept and pretending that they're not is just being either purposefully retarded or dickridingly ignorant.

Your original phrasing was 'options menu', but yeah, I get what you're saying. The way the game drip feeds shit to you can be frustrating.

Pretending that the multiman raiding and the grind is the only thing WoW gives you to do is a very retarded point?

I don't really think it is, although I didn't specify that I was talking about max level. Unless it's changed recently, WoW has always been focused around raiding. There's nothing wrong with that design/approach, but the feeling of 'having' to log in to do rep grinds/dailies/leveling my borrowed power item wasn't really enjoyable for me. If I stepped away from the game, I'd generally be fucked and behind the curve.

Shit may have changed, but that was what made me step away from WoW. I don't begrudge people who do enjoy that shit, and it was something I did enjoy, but I stopped enjoying it. I also don't think XIV is a perfect game, but it scratches my itch for an MMO.

You can go to other zones, you can explore at your leisure, bask in the world, go into fun side quests, get professions that aren't "classes" you need to do level up raids for

FFXIV is very on rails, but there is a ton of side content available (that yes, is doled out slowly to you.) I don't know what you're talking about re: professions. You still have to 'level up' Engineering or whatever in WoW, it just used a different metric. WoW used to have key recipes tied to raid drops or faction vendors (and even required you to clear dungeons for certain craftables, a la BRD and Scholomance.) The only thing I can think of is some crafting/gathering abilities gated behind quests which do require MSQ progression, but they've done away with that.

I do prefer WoW's freeform/sand-boxesque approach to accessing zones, but you also aren't jumping into Karazhan on Day 1 of release of the TBC patch. Let's not act like that there aren't prereqs for shit in WoW.

then it nosedived when Pandaria came along.

Gotta agree with Clown Elvis here. I'd argue Pandaria was probably the peak of top-to-bottom good narrative in WoW. There was shit prior that was good, but it was very inconsistent. Cataclysm was utter shite. It was either Popculture Reference or Thrall.

It is barely passable from what I have seen so far, and that is ignoring the fact that Final Fantasy 14 is part of the Final Fantasy franchise and they made the traditionally helpful characters like Ifrit and Ramuah into antagonists.

One that you fight at Level 20...as your first major boss.

I think part of it is that I played a lot of Final Fantasy when I was younger and it does scratch a lot of the 'member berries for me.

Keep in mind that Ifrit is usually your first basic bitch summonable opponent you face in most FF games. He's the first Esper you fight in FF6, someone you fight early in FF5, and the fucking tutorial boss in FF8.

The story is good (for an MMO), but it is also very JRPG-y. I'll spare you the 'it gets better' line, but in terms of a coherent, cohesive narrative there aren't many solid competitors. Whether or not that is a good thing to have in an MMO is entirely subjective, though. I don't think it's perfect and I have a ton of issues with it, but on the balance I do enjoy it.

Also, the Old Gods thing, was that changed? I thought the deal was that beings like C'Thun were basically immortal and you could only beat them down/contain them.

That was completely made up leap of logic by the player base that has never had any actual in game source and the only thing I have ever been pointed to as the source was the Halls of Stone Tribunal thing, and that was Brann Bronzebeard at best just jumping to a conclusion based on one sentence from a titan construct, and kind of clashed with lore even back then because Algalon was going to straight up steralize the planet of all life as a back up plan if the Old Gods got out.

The reason that the Titans didn't kill the old gods is because the titans are big enough that them fucking around directly on the planet itself causes issues. Which was a thing even back then Sargeras was known to be large enough to kill planets.

Your original phrasing was 'options menu', but yeah, I get what you're saying. The way the game drip feeds shit to you can be frustrating.

Well I didn't find anything about the options menu that annoyed me specifically, I was just piggybacking on the "The game gates basic shit that shouldn't be gated behind levels" and commits that crime alot.

Gotta agree with Clown Elvis here. I'd argue Pandaria was probably the peak of top-to-bottom good narrative in WoW. There was shit prior that was good, but it was very inconsistent. Cataclysm was utter shite. It was either Popculture Reference or Thrall.

There is good and bad in every expansion and one of the most frustrating things is when people ignore it just to get a win about what expansion was "Best"

Like Burning Crusade is kind of a fucking shit show. Especially Kael'Thelas...especially Kael'Thelas suddenly becoming Racist against Night Elves and calling Illidan a "Half elf Mongrel" in Magister's Terrace.

Keep in mind that Ifrit is usually your first basic bitch summonable opponent you face in most FF games. He's the first Esper you fight in FF6, someone you fight early in FF5, and the fucking tutorial boss in FF8.

Yes but this is an MMO, why are some of your most Iconic characters (and Ifrit was a dick in FF6 till you whipped his ass a bit and he recognized Ramuah was with you and was like "Oh shit, my bad") It is kinda a waste of of him.

FF8 is shit so I can't defend Ifrit in that, fucking faggots that made that game replaced cool Beard Man with a Coom Bird.

Shit I have the same issue with Kujata in the Marauder quests..sure he was a minor summon in 7 but like..save the member berries and do something cool with it, don't fucking blow that load at level 30.

The story is good (for an MMO), but it is also very JRPG-y. I'll spare you the 'it gets better' line, but in terms of a coherent, cohesive narrative there aren't many solid competitors.

Again, I hard disagree here, Thus far the story has been..mediocre to bad.

People shit on Sylvanas in WoW but let me ask you a question. A female of noble birth, who was handed everything in life...dies and goes to hell..and think's her going to hell is unfair* and makes a deal with one of the local Satans to get out of hell and rewrite reality because she think's life isn't fair.

*Sylvanas being undead is not an excuse for some of the shit she pulled, and some of the lore implies she wasn't all that great a person before she got Banshee'd.

Edit : I am a retard and it was pointed out to me that I got distracted from my main point.

Sylvanas was raised in the Lap of Luxury and got her job through Nepotism (Her mother and Sister had it before she did)...she is a spoiled fucking bitch and her selling out to Satan because "Life isn't fair" was completely within her character.

 

[The Pierrot]

One of the trans FFXIV players seems to be having a hate-boner against Grummz, due to making an appearance on Crystal Core Radio.

Just one? I'm pretty sure most of those terminally-online dumbasses seethe about him constantly because he doesn't pretend to enable their delusions.

Also, the irony about those live comments with how one calls him a "snowflake" and the other one calling him a "pedophile". I'm sure they definitely won't go back to crying about how opinions against them are genocide to the children they're grooming in their Discord servers.

re: Ifrit - as long as we aren't considering "content is no longer relevant because of expansions" as an excuse - while Ifrit is used early in the story, he is also used as a max level fight as well, with much more beefed up mechanics. The fight is easy by today's standards, but on release, it was one of the harder things in the game. So I wouldn't really call it a waste of him, compared to Kujata, who you literally wouldn't even know is a reference if you didn't play FF7 (I'm speaking from experience).

He also has an entire phase in the second Ultimate raid, so there's that too.

I actually assumed that because there was dialogue that the..Kihmari on roids people will summon him again.

It doesn't help my opinion, my first kinda major big boss fight was ultimately meaningless. If This game loves to reference everything, instead of it being Straight up Ifrit..have one of the Clerics/Shamans/Magichans of the RoidMaris "Junction" Ifrit using the crystal and draw on his power. After you whip his ass he tries to unleash Hellfire, you can even have him reference the FFT Ifrit Summon Chant while powering it up..and drawing on that much of an Eidolon's power (I ain't calling them Primals) makes him burn from the inside out.

Yes I am being autistic about this shit, but that is the entire reason I am playing the game, people continually talked about how amazing this story especially compared to World of Warcraft and..I am thus far unimpressed. I would rate it a C on most of it's merits but its starting to slip to a D grade because this main story quest thing really needs a bit more focus.

I met that Masked Nigger at like level 10 at most and I am just now starting the questline to start to find him so I can shove Thunder spells so far up his ass he will taste like batteries when he kisses his Goth Cat "Girl" GF his lips will taste like batteries.

everyone told me this game has the nicest community ever but i never met more antisocial people in my life, for an mmo it felt very lonely and nobody seems to care that much about interacting and i thought these games were supposed to be more social, i would never pay 10 bucks per month for this though i think these people are crazy

i had some really horrible interactions and i got invited to a group chat made up of random people and they started arguing with each other not even 5 minutes in so i just left and i deleted everyone who added me and i changed servers at that point, you cant delete people in this game, they get removed from your friends list but you stay forever on theirs so people can pretty much stalk you at any time

the game is not that great but it was fun to wander around for a while but something about the people who play this is a bit off

i think half the playerbase might genuinely be insane

"Great Community BTW" has been a years-long sarcastic in-joke for a reason.

People are schizoposting on the forums about the evil hackers again.
(Archive because it's going to be taken down by the jannies at some point)

 

[Punished Brent]

I have played this game since it came out. there have been ebs and flows of these people but before the meteor fell and ARR came out it wasn't that bad.
these freaks have ruined the game for me to the extent that I only play solo, no guild, no friends. Its not even safe to use the chat feature
+ everyone that isn't a weird freak dosen't even use it anymore. Almost everyone is a weird tranny or ERP lunatic, its trade chat is totally bogged down with advertisments for their RP cafes where these absolute heathens do whatever.
I really do hate them.

Nobody that actually understands how anti-cheat works wants anti-cheat implemented, hope this helps.

Perhaps there is a sane soul on the official forums after all

Maybe it’s time they reconsider putting trannies and woketards in video games if they successfully get so much hate every time it happens. Concord got hate for its ugly ass woke characters with pronouns as well! I hope, one day, our descendants look back into this decade and think “our ancestors were so stupid to think that men could be women.” But I don’t have much hope for the gender cult bullshit to get removed in the future, especially not when they already allowed it to spread this far, polluting video games and politics like the plague.

This is indeed really fucking telling and it's not what you're trying to imply it is, Ryan.
Looking at the comments, people are trying to whiteknight by saying that "ARR VAs were terrible and we didn't do this!".
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to hire a troon who sounds like one to voice the worst written character in any final fantasy game.

Wuk's VA's profile has a retweet of a voice actor saying they need to find a job right by his own post saying "You guys know there's a VO strike going on right now right?"
The jokes write themselves.

Yeah, this is why the German retard who had that interview asked what he did.

Yoshi P wasn't going out on his own volition and voicing this. He was responding to a question. Way to fucking bend things out of context. But now morons like this guy above can just point to this and go 'LOOK, SEE?'

It'd be funny if it wasn't so tired and predictable.

I wonder why it's always these fuckers who end up getting harrassment and death threats to their DMs or to their family members while people like the voice actors from 11 years ago don't say anything like that, while simultaneously either fabricating proof or showing the tamest nothingburger as it.

It's almost like they're incentivized to overreact to every single online comment made about them since it's so easy to label all criticism as some kind of -phobia or -ism when you're part of that group. HM...

Motherfuckers act like they can’t play this game dubbed in Japanese when you literally can. Half of the MSQ is reading anyway.

11 years since ARR came out, and not once has a lead voice actor in FFXIV gone out of their way to antagonize the game's player base at every opportunity possible while being a politically brainrotted terminally online faggot.

2.0's voice acting was pretty dogshit across the board. But the voice actors just shut up and went on with their work. Bam, no fucking drama, because they didn't instigate it.

Meanwhile, the German dub goes absolutely fucking feral

Also, not shocked to see that troons are using this as yet another excuse to get people to donate money.
Create a problem, just so you can sell them a solution. They're as bad as government.

 

[James done did it]

I've been mentally regressing so I decided to give this game a shot recently after not touching MMOs for years. While it's full of tranny and faggot degenerates it still pales in comparison to how bad PSO2 was. Most of the people i've played with are just the same garden variety losers I remember being the core of the MMO community the last time I was a regular MMO player ~15 years ago.
The game itself is strictly OK. It doesn't really have much of a sense of community but I think that ship sailed on MMOs a long time ago. The very idea of story in an MMO repulses me and I skip all of that faggot shit. the few cutscenes you're forced to watch convinced me this was a good decision no matter how many people tell me "WELL ACKSHULLY, IT GETS GOOD 200 HOURS IN, BUT IF YOU DONT WATCH ALL OF THE BAD CUTSCENES UP TO THAT POINT YOU WONT UNDERSTAND IT WHEN IT GETS GOOD!". I like some of the dungeon and encounter designs and the world design in most of the areas.

Also bunnyboys are the worst degenerates. It takes a certain kind of fucked up personality to roll a male Viera.

PSO2 has always had a weird ass fanbase and I have no idea why. Even on JP ship 2 wasn’t a server you wanted to be on because it was full of degenerates.

Ship 2 was coincidentally the unofficial English server. Make of that what you will.

I’d say the xiv community experience relies heavily on what server you’re on.

Before my current server I was on Balmung and Mateus. Say what you want about roleplayers, but the communities between those 2 servers are night and day. It very much reminded me of the schism between Wyrmrest Accord and Moon Guard in WoW.

A world first raider has been outed as a sex pest in the quote tweets, again. Archive

Allegations include cheating on his partner for another girl (Both of which left the static and are now in a lesbian relationship with each other), randomly asking people for porn recommendations, asking random girls who joined the static if they can be his girlfriend, and fetishising asian women.
