I actually think they failed on this part as well already.
While the game only has a handful of repeating mechanics, people do not name those mechanics straight up in the PF often, and usually use god awful incredibly shit and annoying abbreviations or nicknames to describe them, which whenever I return to the game the hardest part is deciphering what the fuck they even mean in the PF. Or they bundle several mechanics into a single annoying nonsense term or "X strat". There's already a degree of requiring tribal information because even if you know the baseline mechanics you end up needing to look up a guide just to figure out what the terms are actually associated with.

It's an annoying pet peeve, and I know it's "Muh lived experience" but I think there's a reason why whenever i do the blind parties can usually I bash it out and clear in like half an hour to two hours tops, but the moment I try clear stuff solo in PF with a pre-established lingo it's a fucking messy nightmare because you have the in-group who are constantly glued to the meta uptime-strat guides and the out-group who haven't adopted or follow it closesly who just attempt to do the mechanic as it was obviously intended.
Even if you name a strat you'd like to use the illiterate mouthbreathers in PF will do whatever they're most familiar with even if the strat is incompatible and causes wipes. People like to say Hector Hectorson ruined Pf because everyone does his strats even if they aren't raidtranny optimized because they're accessible with animated diagrams, but its the kind of retards in PF who are ruining PF.
 
Does anyone know Juki's FFXIV character? I got mentioned after making funny AI lulz of Zoe Quinn, who might be really close to her.

Not your personal army.
That's something a bunch of stupid angst middle schoolers would do on 4chan and be told to 'fuck off' after. To clear the misunderstanding, I'm not asking for a personal army, and never will. Just curious if this person does have a FFXIV profile, or he's just another poser.

As I’ve said before they should have ended it at base EW. Despite its flaws it did its job ending the game’s story well.

A cursory glance on Lodestone didn't show anything, but that doesn't really mean much. He could have set his page to private to stop people looking him up, especially if he feels he's some kind of target online which is highly likely if he associates with Quinn much. Looking on Instagram for his BlueSky handle didn't return anything (there's quite a big XIV community on there of mostly gposers), and there's not a whole lot of information to work with. I'm assuming he'd play on NA but even that's not guaranteed. If he didn't just use someone else's character or mods, I can tell you that hat is only given to winners of various game contests on social media etc. Plus you get people who use lore appropriate names and his BlueSky one isn't lore accurate for Lalafell.
If you find anything more we could try to look a bit deeper but so far nothing really seems to answer your question one way or another at the moment, sorry.
 
WoW is finally adding gay nigga events to their game. I'm torn between giving money to people who hate me, or having to play with what seems like an almost entirely LGBTQ+ playerbase. How bad is it really?

If you avoid the general hotspot areas (Novice Network, Limsa Lominsa's main aetheryte plaza, any RP 'venues'), I'd say that's like 80-90% of the obnoxious shit you'd avoid. If you're an MMO veteran, you shouldn't have much need for the Novice Network as you should be able to find answers for your questions through google.

The global cooldown is going to feel like molasses coming from WoW.

The worst I deal with are annoying adventurer plates and that's self inflicted. Unless you're going out of your way to socialize with folks you generally don't have to deal with rainbow nonsense.

Also, avoid Faerie, Balmung and Seraph servers. Faerie is the designated 'LGBT' server, Balmung is the cybersex server, and Seraph was/is the Faerie overflow server.

I think there may be others on the other DCs, but Faerie by far is the most annoying. The great news is that the server has basically been designated as a congested server so the odds of accidentally rolling on there is small.

To be clear, I played FFXIV from HW through EW. I quit because I was fed up with every job in the game being the same, and every boss fight being the same. It sucks because WoW offers, in my opinion, a greater variety of content. The problem is the story. I'm big on lore. And FFXIV has a lot of issues, but it wasn't outright gay until they hired Wuk Latroon. WoW has more cutscenes, more intrusive dialogue, more standing around listening to Arator cry like a bitch because he's a paladin who doesn't like violence. I also don't want to give my money to people who think we need to be cutting dicks off more children.

Maybe I'm just coping, but it's hard when you're an MMO fan, and the entire genre has been so thoroughly buck broken.

MMOs having a large social aspect means they're susceptible to social media rot, which is what really causes huge damage long term.

Any FFXIV decisions should be withheld until the Fanfest, which is just in over two weeks and will either make players feel really good or really bad about the direction the game is going to take over the next three or so years. I'm expecting it to be really bad and somehow worse then the previous ones in terms of how much of a repeat it's going to be.
 
If non-job equipment is no longer locked, doesn't this mean that 8.0 will have equipment which doesnt have any locking at all? As in, we'll no longer have "X of casting" or "X of healing" but just "generic mage outfit"?

Is it possible the equipment stats are going to be completely removed so we have to meld our own stats, thus making primary stat materia important again?

Maybe i'm overthinking this.

Currently it's just non locked for glamour reasons.

The current guess is that it's going to open up 8.0 to have even lazier sets that are just slightly different then one another instead of trying to have "Tank set", "Healer Set", "Mage Set", "Archer Set", etc.
 
Turns out all the FF7 shit that was datamined a while back is just fanfest shit, not any actual 8.0 leaks. Remains to be seen what 8.0 is gonna be about.

I was always skeptical they're gonna re-run FF7, given how 1.0, and ARR was replete with VII's references. (If the entire Golden Saucer and Meteor thing didn't clue you in.) They even dug up the Weapons for ShB.

There's still shit that they can mine from FF7 if they wanted to, but yeah, it was pretty obvious it was FanFest shit given that there was precedence (Tifa, Aerith and Cloud all were FanFest goodies.)

To be fair, they've been doing a ton of what a lot of people considered "emergency glass" QoL stuff. Felt like when it was mined, that it was simply just more of the same. (Low numbers? time to launch the VII expac!)
 
Ericus Rex thinks Dawntrail is supremely gay and corrupted. the Zidane class is double gay and boring how could they fuck this up so badly on purpose



wow only 3,602 humans alive on Gaia that's fucking low
