Do you even need to ask this stupid question? Transpeople are more likely to be involved with MMORPGs due to roleplaying their ideal sex (males wanting to be female)

>>737148174
They are so fragile they need constant validation or the sails start to wilt. Like a lot of stuff in human (or even social animal) affairs it's about power. When they were big on prompting some celebrity to have to say trans rights are human rights it wasn't about somehow advancing such rights, it wasn't even necessarily the validation of a celebrity saying it when you think about it (proving me wrong earlier). It is more

It is, but it is only one layer of kino. Showing that the paths the other stars took lead to their end.
The Final Fantasy is kino on the same level and many others by marking the definitive climax of the story, and adding the subtle context that it was the death of hope that was their fall.
Plus the only thing more kino than a game title drop is a series title drop.

They skipped over Garlemald and frankly shouldn't try to do it now, you've got one more continent we know of and then you'd have to pull the rest out of your ass. For each new place we go to or create you'd have to make excuses as to why it hasn't been relevant before, how every piece of lore already created effects it, and how the WoL won't have access to his infinitely staffed and resource rich support team.
Take the story elsewhere.

We already know everything about them, just like almost everything else on the source, it's all related to the ancients through the ascians. If you want garlean content it's going to be ancients content, that gate to tartarus will be something made by the ancients.
It would also be yet another XI storyline done worse.

theres almost nothing original in 14 to begin with.

Tartarus isn't a gate or anything like it is in XI. It's the black hole technology Construct VII uses which in the Second Astral Era was used to create the Cataract of Ridorana. And the damage would just be a catalyst for the planet freaking out.

The people there and their politics, squabbles, and what they eat is all irrelevant, they were skipped, they have no use to the story other than squatting in the tower we have to use and wasting an entire fucking patch because the writer is a fucking retard. Endwalker answered most questions and gave the WoL the backup to handle anything. The only good solution is to take the story elsewhere, explore new settings that aren't figured out and explained.

Politics and squabbles can escalate into new stories. It took me three minutes to think up that example I gave of how a minor squabble in a region we haven't explored can blow up into a planetary threat. That's generally how Final Fantasy goes. Shardslop is trash written for retards with no investment or knowledge of the setting, written by retards with no investment or knowledge of the setting. Ilsabard being a mystery box means you can write anything there. Same was true for Tural. The writers are either just incompetent or they know their audience, (You).

You clearly don't pay attention to the game you play or what the developers slap you in the face with. Garlemald was skipped, it was destroyed off screen, it will never be host to an expansion, the clouds will remain covering it on the world map.

I've been saying this for years but their dungeon and instance design team is (aside from bozja) really fucking good. Load into something like Holminster Switch and just look around at the start, imagine if world zones could look that good.

>>737151678
Maybe you forgot your own argument, that being that the Source is dead as a setting and there's nothing left to explore. Which is just plain wrong and it's clear you're an endbryo lorelet who only wants Emet-Selchtrail featuring Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII Refund for the Playstation 5 (on sale now).

It fucking blows dude. Also look at the instanced Monster Hunter crossover area.
>>737151727
Absolutely. I always feel that way. A lot of the field zones look so mundane, and then you get into a dungeon and it looks 5 times more extravagant. But not only that, but also more imaginative.
>>
>>
>>737151689
You did play 1.0 right? What about 11? Would you like to have a conversation about the market systems as created by the devs in 11 and the workarounds the community used? What about trying to back up your claim that the same people who created those mechanics in 11 then went on to create similar yet completely unworkable and unuseable systems in 1.0?
If it was the same people how could they forget how to create a working system? They had nearly 10 years of experience at that point.

Mor Dhona was interesting as shit when I first got there. And all the crystal shit in Eastern Thanalan. I liked Coerthas Western Highlands in HW just because it was fuckhuge. I stopped being impressed outside of the very first impressions of zones after that. They make them too theme-parky. Like Ultima Thule being broken up the way it is is whack.
>>
>>
>>737152008
Yeah, I'll agree with Mor Dhona.
They need to get some more spectacle back in their overworld zones.
I can see people feeling that way about Living Memory, but honestly only after 7.3. It looked kinda flat in 7.0. And then the other zones were generally pretty basic.
I looked at the new XI raid part as a not-XI player, and that big ass tree creates an interesting atmosphere. It looks like it's high, and enormous - it has that kind of depth to it. Why don't we have such landmarks smack dab in our actual overworld zones?
How about how overgrown it all is, including in the water itself?

I want to blame flying but I'm not sure how fair that is. ARR zones had a LOT more effort put into them but they are all fairly small. Expansion zones are larger and obviously not made while under the duress of the game tanking bringing down the entire company. But then again if the instanced areas look that good how the fuck can the world zones not keep up?

Ten years of experience under Hiromichi Tanaka, who spent those ten years becoming more and more deranged about player trustworthiness, hence why he made absurd decisions like running the menus serverside.
>>
>>737152415
Smaller pockets, I assume. There's just a little bit of "land" to traverse and the rest is window dressing. Different from having to create a full zone.
Even if I wish that didn't impede them. Maybe it won't as much in 8.0. Who knows.

So you want to create a small scale story like HW, that's good, but you still:
>Have to explain how and why the WoL can't solve the issue by calling in the 3 city states, Ishgard, everyone from SB, the loporrits, the dragons, the space ship that can travel to the end of the universe, or the forces/tech of Alexandria.
The WoL has so much help and so much backing that any small scale story on the source is going to be blanketed with issues, hell the dragons even showed up to help in Dawntrail. Also if you want to be technical about it, the Dragonsong War involved a species that came from another planet due to a much larger story involving other alien species, so it's adjacent to "shardslop" as you so put it.

That was already explained in the brief greentext.
1. A Scion spearheaded the snafu that led to the conflict to begin with
2. Two alliances are falling apart because of political interests or other obligations, putting strain on the networks WoL has built up. And WoL can't just start nuking Ul'dahn soldiers because they're obligated to Garlemald for the sake of maintaining trade relations with Radz-at-Han, or start blowing up Gridania because the Elementals are seething ovdr Garleans blowing a hole in the planet and causing chaos.

bst has a Trick command thats basically a revolving Gauge spender for big dps combos.
Gold, Green, Blue, Red circles light up and add an extra Light or Dark affinity to your Beast Gauge that ends in a big finishing move.
So calling it a skillchain was kinda correct as the Bst and the Beast have to chain their Instinct attacks together to light up the correct emblems on the gauge to access the Light or Dark attacks.
Each emblem attack costs 100 gauge from (you) and your beast and using one burns your whole gauge (cap 250 I think).
You get a skill to instantly fill your gauge for faster comboing.

Nah, see. Time flowing differently for shards takes care of that. Next time we go, it'll be like 500 years later, and a new group of dickheads will have amassed power. But since the Voidspawn are immortal, we can still have the Zero and any 6.x cast members around still.
Really easy to throw in new baddies.

Wow, capping your tomestones but.... it's in the currency tab this time!
I'm basedjakking! This will make it not insanely boring as fuck! This will shake up gearing up your alts! What did they even say about Enuo, the totem being removed shit after his? It's an alright start but it is years too late for them to realize autistic tomestone farming is something only the unhinged did on patch, and they likely realized that it was hurting their bottom line in some way so they had to rework it to incentivize people to stick onto the game longer. I think every trial lately dropping 2 was an experiment in that regard, but unless they change drop rates or make it so the vendor has the mount on the patch it drops on, it's still DOA in my eyes. I used to do that mount farming stuff until Endwalker when I realized I could have just spent my time playing new/old video games instead of sitting in dated trials where people can't buttons or breathe air without assistance. It's the same thing with how tomestone farming is. At some point I just gave up on how much they babied players over time that they can't really hit buttons at all so I just autoduty them all for 3 hours on Tuesday reset if I even need to. It's stressmaxxing, the placated playerbase doesn't really have a right to my free time anyways. And honestly I'm happier for it. I give a shit more about if they'll own up to doing anything drastic over the couple of months but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe they'll make tanking less designed for drooler chimps that will only ever see tank busters as 'i voke and have mit running'. The risk of death needs to return in Westwolves, or some form of punishment that isn't reliant on a body check potentially in later Savage floors. And yeah, I'm still mad about Chaotic too because they clearly fucked the scaling to ensure that it'd be DOA outside of Discord after the first week. More than anything, I'd like to see them attempt evergreen collection shit too but they won't

Bst isnt terribly different from Summoner its basically Drg or Samurai + a pet so it just blows its a limited job.
It would be one thing if bst actually fought the way people initially suspected by summoning 3 beasts at once as its own light party but its beasts are just on a rotation since their Finisher skill banishes them and forces you to summon the next one.

They've learned their lesson is pretty safe to say. While it feels void likely the frontline reminds me of their
>What if the WoL became shogun
remark. Like maybe there'll be some huge void breach in Hingashi and instead of dark souls in void-Italy it's Nioh.
Assuming they don't stumble with it I'd welcome Sengoku Jidai meets the void as a palate cleanser.

I said possibly. I can imagine Yoship with his love of lalafell would want her to be more focused after her being sidelined in DT. Also depends on the writer since we all know Hiroi can only write by introducing some new hyper-important female that no one likes.

I'd like to see Estinien have more to do but I can't see him taking central focus. Most of the scions have had at least some kind of character spotlight, though obviously you can't compare Urianger or Y'shtola's tiny arcs to any one of the twins'.

Meanwhile I'm just trying to see if the Kanji for heaven is even in the patch title in Japanese since they always rename shit.

I like Koji Fox (I know hes not currently doing it) a lot, but even with him I desperately wished for more accurate translations. He can keep the Shakespearean talk for Urianger, the constant use of the word Myriad and in game local idioms. But learning about big discrepancies was always disappointing.
I have not compared much lately, I just kind of accepted thats how it is and if you voice out against it the player base spergs out. But this recent trailer I was reminded.

If DT had flopped back in 2020 or even 2022 there'd still be time for them to be lazy and fuck up a second time but 50% reduction of your height population, server costs jacked up due to AI, people stingier with what they entertain themselves with, Square enix coming off of forspoken and babylon something and the climate today being less free money tech-company loans and it's all a perfect storm of "Quit fucking around and do what makes money"
It's like the vacation they promised was more them vacationing with new ideas (new protagonist, new more squeaky wholesome less depressing story compared to SHB/END) and having realized how fucked it was going back to the mean.
Only real risk I see is waifuism by the writers for Calyx or green fish making them suffocate the story even if it's not in an ass kissing way.

no I am aware things happen. unlike yourself I still play the game but am bitter because I have fuckelse to do. the curse of playing other games in tandem with xiv ensures that you realize Yoshi P is legitimately so buck broken by 1.0 that it's never left his brain for almost a decade now. we are still getting deep dungeons like they aren't the most niche content on the planet for example, a shit regurgitated formula that other roguelikes have done better since potd. do you get anything that changes your skills? maybe gives you a new one? no, mostly you will get something that prevents death or a votive that gives you a free floor clear. it's passive, it's generic, it lacks interest entirely, as if the dev team is doing stuff for DD not out of love but out of obligation. quantum dying in record speed I think is a good example where I basically have to beg my friends 'it's to challenge something hard' to even incentivize them to do something different from savage. it's less 'nothing ever happens' but 'something will happen'. let me cite what I think is a pretty telling example. dawntrail as a whole has been lacking hard on the weapon glows. we have had no crafted ex in a long while. in past deep dungeons, they used to give glowy weapons for turning in aetherpool grips. when eureka orthos dropped, they stopped doing it entirely. showing off a unique hard mode of a floor 100 boss made me think that pilgrim's traverse was going to break this formula, considering they had the weapon models ready and everything. what did they opt to do for quantum 40? they did literally nothing except give you a title that 90% of the player base has turned off. I hate faggots that laud ultimate weapons like it's their own sole important personality trait and i never used them but I like the concept of 'trophies' existing. it's just dull and uninteresting to me. and when the story only gets worse over time what else am I supposed to look forward to? sorry if I gave wrong imp.

something that always perplexed me: what is the actual official, intended titles for the expansions? the japanese titles are different from the english titles, yet things like the soundtrack and other in-game references will reference the english version.
example: stormblood is called "liberator of the crimson lotus" in japanese, yet in game you have "storm of blood, born from blood!" and plenty of other references to "stormblood" that are present in the jp text. I wonder if this is ever confusing to jp players.

I will say that the japanese titles don't seem to translate over that well and it makes sense they made different ones for english. "shadowbringers" goes way harder than "jet black villains" but it probably elicits different ideas to the japanese

Bear in mind there's mood or elements lost in translation when it's direct.
"Liberator of the lotus" - that sounds like nonsensical jibberish because lotus barely factors into our cultural lexicon but they have some reference for Lotus. Shadowbringers or stormblood don't have quite the same cultural touchstone but the jet black thing reminds me of how
>Black hat
used to carry a distinct connotation due to Westerns (Hence black hats in hacking = bad hackers) but if you translated black hat hacking to Japanese without considering that it'd be
"People with black hats chopping" or "People in black headwear breaking into technology".
Also just cultural thing. There's that joke of how long winded japanese anime titles are: "I was reincarnated as a dragon but I just want to be a chef instead of be the demon king" whereas long titles don't go over well here.

I think as far as JP is concerned they consider both equally official/canon.
>>737155764
The JP Titles have ALWAYS been far superior to the English ones imo with the exception of *maybe* shadowbringers, but I still think i prefer the JP one.. But they want to simplify it to appeal to the west. Always been annoying.

"Liberator of the Lotus" - whose the lotus, what's the lotus, why does it need liberating, whose liberating it. You could do the same to stormblood but ultimately without that cultural reference for lotus it's meaningless. Stormblood is fiery blooded, thunderous bloodshed.
I'd expect jet black villains for a noir movie, a heist, something a bit black comedy. Not a savior bringing night to a world dying of light. The WoL is not even a villain, so it's utterly deceptive. But that's also to my cultural point of view. Villain might carry a different meaning for the Japanese, or >>737156247 blackest traitors.
I don't think the Japanese names are bad in a Japanese context, but I don't think they're better than the English variants at all. "Skies of Ishgard" reminds me of those games that mention a place in their world which to any outside observer means fuck all. 'Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" kinda deal or imagine Witcher 3 being not "Wild hunt" but "Fields of Skellige" - if anyone isn't already buying it they go
>What the fuck is a skellige/Amalur/Ishgard.
Heavensward immediately conveys themes agnostic to the setting but which will show up in the expansion. But jet black villains becomes vague and misleading.
Golden legacy is good.

what do you mean by "supposed to be"? because canonically they're just mutated people, but in-universe have been mistaken as dragonkin, and out of universe were intentionally designed for that and while referencing the succubus design(who are also mutated people)

nice fan fic but the truth of the matter is that race specific lore hasn't been expanded much beyond the little blurbs that you see on the character creation screen and the actual answer is that it's never been explained what they are actually supposed to be and probably never will be

this is a prime example of why random shit that devs/writers say in interviews should not be treated as fully canon and authoritative unless it's completely supported by the actual work. this was very obviously made up on the spot and holds the same credence to me as dumbledore being gay. if they want to back up this statement and explain the massive, glaring issues with it by actually making it part of the game then I'll acknowledge it.
