You can use Cheat Engine to modify your breast size while in game, obviously others see the bust size that you selected in the character creator.

I remember trying the trial for the game. I was really digging it, then I checked out /xivg/ and saw how shit it was. Kept me from subbing to the game out of fear of turning into one of them. Didn't help that all Pugs are forced to look like fuckboys and I kept getting asked to join ERP groups.

Not sure about paysafe. I normally just use Steam wallet.

>>333437772
I think them losing subs halfway through this expansion is a good thing. I think it's the wake up call that they need.

But it is 2 dollars cheaper than the other hotkey MMO competition. Hell, I think even Runescape is 10 USD a month now, and they still haven't finished their standalone client
>>
>>333438708
Entry is 12.99 vs Standard at 14.99.

The way I see it, there's almost entirely no point to ever choose Standard. The way the game works you can do basically everything with only a single character, so I don't see the purpose of paying extra just to do all of the same stuff over again with a different name and look.

Aside for the fact that I already pay for the PS online every year I got pretty shit internet so I can't always get the best out of it. I sure as shit not going to pay even more for a fragmented experience.

It was better then the early stuff, it's just weird how long it took me to get pants. Glad to hear the later stuff looks better but spending the first 20 levels looking like some S&M twink was painful enough.

>Can't you just change specialties once a week as required though?

No, because it takes 2 weeks minimum because 480 scrips is required and weekly cap is 450, and at this point in time, red scrips are just far too valuable to waste on changing specialisations.

Specialist system was a mistake.

Pandas and everything after has caused World of Warcraft to see a 50% drop off in subs. Don't know how many people left after Heavensward. But FFXIV as a whole still had a playerbase 12x smaller than WoW. So even if FFXIV completely died, it wouldn't be as bad as a slide as WoW has been.

Supposedly so you can get new content regularly and not have any micro transactions.

Except the content this game gets every 3 months shrunk by 1/3 since Heavensward, and there is a cash shop and even extra inventory space costs a monthly sub. (Unless you're smart and figured out the loop hole for trading stuff between alts) Can you believe you can't trade stuff to your alts? Just so you have to buy retainers from square. Fuckin' A.

Pandaland was actually a good expansion too. Blizz put a lot of effort into it. Patches released on an actual schedule and had a variety of content. Too bad people didn't dig the kung fu panda theme, otherwise it would have done better.

WoD managed to be the polar opposite of MoP though. Thematically it was widely received as fantastic, but it had jack fucking shit for content. Turns out no content and relying on mobile-tier timer games kills subs faster than having a kung fu panda theme does.

I do play FFXIV, but honestly I think the only reason I even play themepark MMOs is for the boss fights. Levelling and questing is mostly boring fetch quest stuff, dungeons outside the main fights are at best running through some hallways collecting some keys, no pvp to speak of, the combat doesn't feel particularly fun or satisfying on its own, no character customization or builds to differentiate you from anyone else, all of this makes me constantly question why I play FFXIV

But goddamn if there are nearly no other games these days with so many varied, fun, and difficult boss battles. Much less ones with cooperative mechanics where you and 7 buddies can get together to overcome something which requires coordination and timing to survive.

I actually dislike MMOs where you have to learn dozens of complex hotkey combinations. The problem with FFXIV isn't the simple combat options. Its that there's no variety to combat. About the most variety you get is with a Monk or Bard, where you have a 5-6 hotkey rotation. But you never need to go away from that rotation unless the Tank fucks up and you take aggro or if you're in an AOE zone.
>>
>>333443607
You bring a valid point. It's been shown that they really don't know how to fix the game. I like the game, and I hope they do turn it around, but their time is running out.

>>333444159
I think this one of the things that FFXIV does very well. The boss fights feel epic and exciting. The music and presentation are perfect, and do a great job of hyping you up. However, most fights do boil down to dancing around mechanics.

But it still feels awesome whenever you and a group have been trying to down a boss and you finally do it. It feels great. I still remember beating King Mog EX for the first time. I was so sweaty, and I actually yelled out loud. It was so exciting.
>>
>>333444407

Savage is for autists. Real men play dress up with their cute max height brown giraffe. Thats the only reason why I created an alt.

Stopped playing when Heavensward was released. I didn't have enough money to renew my sub, and buy Heavensward as well.
Tried to play it again last week since I was bored (free week promotion as well), but I couldn't get back into it. I also had to fix all my sets, and hotbars for each class. So I'm just too lazy to do anything on it anymore.

But that's wrong. Its one of the best hunting games out there. Besides, simply by having action oriented gameplay it is inherently better than most MMOs.

Ok sure, let's talk about that
If you want to play another class, you're forced to pay for a second mag unless the class uses the same stats

If you want to sell ANYTHING, you're forced to pray to RNG for a 1 DAY SHOP PASS, or pay for premium

You're also implying you can't pay for drop rate and exp boosts

Oh and you can always pay to revive which can be classified as pay to win

Fuck off with that shit
>>
>>333445458

Its better than FFXIV. But then, almost any game trying not to be World of Warcraft is better than a WOW clone. Even with all its problems, Tree of Savior is better than FFXIV. And it just came out.

>>333445760
I tried to get into PSO2 but it was very difficult for me.

And I even got to level 90 something on PSO for GC.

Am I missing something?
>>
>>333445765
>If you want to play another class, you're forced to pay for a second mag unless the class uses the same stats
What? I have two characters in the game already. They're both the same class, but that was by choice. At no point during character creation did the game say I needed to pay to use a different class.
>You're also implying you can't pay for drop rate and exp boosts
Why would you? Its not a PvP oriented game.
>>
>>333445765

Not that guy. But I like how Blizzard put it when they introduced the marketplace for Diablo III.

Basically they said that if someone wants to pay $500 to get all the best gear right on day one, they might as well. Especially since those types of players usually quit the game quickly. And since most MMOs these days are so single player focused, it doesn't even matter if little Jimmy Privileged has the best gear. What's he gonna do? Sit in the HUB and dance around? There's no PVP so who cares?

PSO2 still gives you the option to go and work for your gear. Which you can then brag about and not spend any money on it.
>>

Was Heavensward really that bad?

>>333446039
You don't necessarily HAVE to pay for a second mag, but your stats are going to be gimped if you decided to max S-ATK cause you wanted to play hunter or something, but then decided to play ranger or gunner which is R-ATK

I played PSO1 a ton. But my biggest problem with the original PSO was the bad camera and super slow character animations.

PSO2 fixed both of these things. Some people don't like it because its more action focused, but that's exactly why I do like it. Only reason I didn't keep playing the game is because there's no western server and I couldn't speak Japanese to party with people.

I do. However if that's what I have to do to enjoy the game after I get level cap and do the few end game stuffs. Then I'm out.
>>
>>333446291
Yes and no.

It really didn't expand much. Yeah, jobs have new tools and stuff but some of the decisions just feel backwards. Like making Bards into Black Mages. Although I fucking love my laser arrows It is 100% a completely different play style than what I was used to playing for about a year prior.

The environments are fucking awesome and beautfiul. The first time I saw the huge snowy area when it was clear weather, I was stunned, it looked so expansive and it had interesting geography.

The story was pretty good in my opinion too. But... The overall gameplay just felt the same. Beat bosses a few times a week. Collect tokens. Get new gear to fight better.

Can we really blame it though? That is quintessentially the MMO formula. It still felt like ARR, just with new areas and a few more tools that each job had. It really didn't feel that much different.

In short, they really really need to find new ways to spice the game up. It's just felt very samey for the past 2.5 years.

The two servers I play on seem to have 90% of the players compared to how it was at launch. Either everyone is just doing end game raiding or the game has lost a ton of people.

Plus, didn't they shut down half the servers and merge the rest together?
>>
>>333447124
if anything the subs are rising since wow refugees are coming over, especially since retail is tanking and nostalrius just shut down.

if there was any sign of decline, servers would be shutting down in ff14 or balmung/gilgamesh would finally be open.
>>
Because Glamour is locked to the level cap for no fucking reason. It pissed me off so much that I quit at 30 when my outfit looked like shit and I couldn't do anything about it.

I just want to wear my Uldahn Overcoat for the rest of the game and I am not allowed
>>
>>333447593
they never shutdown or merged servers.

what server do you play on?

>>333446291
Not really. The story has really high high's but the rest is bland. The gameplay is FUN when you have the mechanics of a fight down but stressful otherwise.
>>
>>333447239
Getting to 30 was a chore by itself, I'm not going to get to 40 multiple times
I did Archer, Black Mage, the summoner one and some healing one

PSO2 is fun for a bit, but over long term it's pretty shit.
You are not rewarded for skill or time, your friend who started the game a month ago can get the best weapon in the game and you're still fucking tearing shit apart because you wasted your drop bonuses for the 900th time.

There is literally nothing to do and not enough new things to do. I took a break a year ago and came back finding out that I can pretty much catch up with anyone in less than a week.

Also hate it when people think that every good mmo needs fast, actiony combat.

You don't need many people in a single area to make a dead game seem populated, shill. Idleshire might seem populated, but it barely has 100 players in there. Most servers barely hit 500 players online if they're lucky, bottom of the barrel servers barely hit 100, only the top 3 meme servers go above 500.

Literally everything you said can be attributed to most MMOs as well. Someone could start FFXIV just today and be caught up with their friend in 1-2 months. That's a problem with all content/raiding based games and is not limited to just PSO2.

PSO2 is also not an MMO. Its in the same genre as Diablo. So at least I don't put the same expectations on it.
