Can we expect more casual trials for Hildibrand story in 3.X like we got in 2.X?
>>338470757
it's possible. i think there's two mystery trials coming, there's a good chance one is related to hildy
>>338470341
>that new theme they played a few minutes ago
Maximum Overhype
>>338470860
You think? I figured one was for the main scenario and the other was Warring Triad.
>>338471014
could be any mix between the three, we'll see though
>>338470341
I just want some fun ways to get items and gear.
>>338471159
Patch date, 7th of June Tuessday
>>338471370
Beat me to it. Just recapping what was shown last PLL.
>BLACK NIDHOGG
!?
PIGGU OUTFIT
>>338471469
Yoshida joked about how people keep saying "Another circle map?" for fights, this time it's not quite.
>EX Nidhogg
Why did they pick such a lame-ass name?
>Steps of Faith 2
>>338471575
Well you are on the steps of faith again
>>338471692
A lot of JP comments are joking about how when the dev team tested it in the Dev Blog, they set the reward to 100 gil.
>>338471469
>>338471504
Ah the perfect so le randumb pose for Lalafell master race.
>>338471692
Neo Diadumb in the making.
Why are they doing a dragonskin map?
>>338471832
Well considering how many people do treasure maps on my server, unless it's a pain in the ass it should be done quite frequently. Every day I see a open up 2 Dragonskin maps each party in PF.
>>338471849
To show off the map dungeons l
>>338471849
dragonskin maps have a chance to open a special dungeon now
>drg using single target on packs
>>338471925
But that's dumb.
I do duo maps all the time, we can't duo a fucking dungeon, and it's retarded to get a full party to get a CHANCE at a portal.
Did they show something special between Nidhoegg and the trasure map?
Post falafells
>Aquapolis has same lame ass music from FATE bosses
FUCK
>>338472002
Don't enter the dungeon then. It appears at the end and Yoshida is saying one strategy is to just shout you opened a portal and if anyone wants to join. The portal stays for 10 minutes I believe, so you can quickly get close by people to come for rewards.
>>338472119
That's not Aquapolis. It's Deep Down.
Is that a relic crystal?
>>338471469
>>338471504
square think they slick... >_>
...he dabbin xD xD xD
>Lets show off new glamours
>Okay who do we put it on?
>The smallest fucking race of course
>HAHA YES YOSHIDA-SAN
>relic shit in aquapolis
just end it all
>>338472204
they're showing aquapolis right now, deep dungeons aren't til 3.35 anyways
How can I play this game for free
>>338472204
But it is. Deep down is the endless dungeon.
>>338472152
I mean I'm not on a dead server, but if I was I'd be more pissed.
It's still wasting a "reward" from the chest if you don't use it.
>there are people who still care about REEEEEEELIC.
>>338472316
go to /vg/ and be cat/lizard slut
>>338472273
Also night time and zooming all the way out almost immediately after.
It's like they're really trying to shitpost.
>>338472273
Gotta channel that meme magic to please the redditors and WoWfugees.
>>338472316
Do the 14 day free trial. Suck someones dick and get them to buy the game for you and you get an additional 30 days.
i quite often miss this game more than any other.
had level 50 everything and quit before the rogue ninja patch. lots of baddies though.

>comes true
haha memes
Those weren't deep dungeons were they?
>50% chance of special dungeon ending if you pick the wrong door
...how much are dragonskin maps again?
>>338472575
But it's a coin flip if you continue or don't so even if it's great, most people won't reach the final room.
>>338472597
I'm guessing later rooms will be harder. They mentioned something about a cyclops or something which I expect would be very hard or slow to do duo.
>>338472635
no it was the map dungeons aka aquapolis
>>338472534
i180 sync
>get thrown out after two rooms, shitty loot and 7k gil from something that only has a chance to spawn with maps
Time for more DOA content.
This game will always suck as long as the PS3/ PS4 versions exist.
>>338472676
WHY
Oh shit flyiing Fenrir
>flying fenrir
FUCK
I sure am glad I quit months ago.
>>338472451
I wanted the pompadour in the game and they finally do.
>flying fenrir
Good thing I almost have my 1 mil mgp
>>338472716
So you can't trivialize them (more than they already are).
fenrir runs on ice trail thing
Can I rape and/or marry Y'shtola yet?
>>338472649
50k on my server right now.
They'll probably be like 400k for a few days or some shit while people try to farm this.
>raid finder cant be used for latest extreme trial(s)
WHY
>Raid Finder only for latest savage content
why?
>>338472316
Get someone to pay for you
>>338472859
2 weeks ago they were 5k on the JP server I'm on.
>>338472864
>>338472865
>raid finder at all
>>338472865
>>338472864
Seriously, what's stopping it from being a cross-server instance finder?
>>338472859
Better buy them now. The usual shitheads will buy them all up in the next 30 minutes.
>>338472909
This shit is actually amazing.
It's not changing the difficulty. It's just letting people queue for specific phases with specific criteria. I love it.
>>338472942
Why is that minion in a Gimp suit?
>>338472948
Cross server party finder is coming in a later patch.
>>338472942
Oh, cool, BDSM minion.
>>338472963
I already have max map storage for dragonskin.
I'll probably use them and have a full set again before the 7th. It's not hard to get them.
>It's the same shit since 2.0
Holy fucking shit Yoshi get your shit together. Does he really thzink throwing the same patch layout out is actually fine?
Getting excited for FF14 Patches is like getting excited of seeing a house being painted in different shades of red with each patch.
>can't skip phases
Why is this not allowed?
How long is HW going to run?
>>338473127
What are you on about?
>>338472865
What else would you use it for? Everything else in the game is so retardedly easy you can just DF it.
>>338473145
2 more big patches. So 6 months.
>>338473145
Since the patch cycle is pretty much a repeat of 2.0 but with less content I'd wager that GW is gonna go until 3.5. Expansion will probably release next June or so.
composition is more strict than typical df
>Strict DPS comp
Yoshi-Plz
>>338473145
At least two more major patches after this one. One for Alexander Final and one for Void/Mhach Final.
>forcing a caster
wtf yoshi triple melee + mch where its at
>>338473221
>6 months.
The last Fan Fest is in Feb next year so it will be after then at least.
Don't forget that the last patch will most likely be extended as the team finishes off the expansion like in 2.X. I wouldn't be surprised if they release a 3.55 or a 3.6 as the final patch.
>>338473287
>not going solo heal solo tank and 6 monks
>>338473287
>triple melee meme comp
{No thanks.}
Frontlines!
>>338473334
>The last Fan Fest is in Feb next year so it will be after then at least.
Keep their next 5 month vacation in mind.
>>338473334
Yeah, I forgot about the cooldown period after last patch, so another at least 3 months.
>pvp
Let me know when we get back to real content.
Kind of wanting to resub, but I hear BLM got shafted. Is MCH or SMN a good alternative?
>PvP
WHO CARES
>PvP garbage that nobody plays
What a waste of effort.
>>338473445
>I hear BLM got shafted
How so? BLMs pull out crazy damage.
That frontlines map!
>>338473518
Shitters like to whine because they need a bit of foresight and positioning to be able to do good damage.
>>338473445
BLM didn't get shafted they're better than ever
If anyone got shafted it was BRD
>>338472838
They fucking better give Sleipnir wings or at least just flight like the FF IX FMV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G95N6jEZ6XA
looking like secure so far
>PVP
>more GC locked PVP
3.3, the pach of DOA content.
>>338473627
I'm still salty that Sleipnir doesn't fly. I love that mount so much but never really get to use it anymore. I thought they would make it fly when they made the primal horses fly but no.
At this point it probably never will.
is it time to resub yet
That's a really cozy map. I'd wish they'd have such maps for other content, maybe some kind of town management system.
>>338473746
with what's been shown so far, it's looking more like time to unsub
>more housing
It'll be all gone before I manage to log in won't it?
Playable loli when?
>PS1 graphic flowers
>>338473745
>>338473627
Cash shoppers should be euthanized
>>338473746
Game is great. Don't mind the trolls.
>>338471370
>New Anima quest
So glad I finally finished the horrible 210 grind and got my 230. Will at least be up to date for once when a new anima step comes out.
>>338473797
never you sick fuck
gb2TERAble
indoor harvestables
>>338473797
Never.
>>338472383
This.
Act like your a female and play either of those races on a maximum degenerate server like Balmung. You probably won't have a hard time finding a lonely neckbeard to pay for you.
>>338473862
I won't finish that fucking grind until new expansion has dropped.
Actual months of daily grinding repetitive content is just too much. There should be better catch up mechanics.
>>338473862
I'm literally 300k gil away from getting mine. I'm waiting for a fucking grade V to sell so I can finally get it. I've been at an undercut war with this one fag for a few hours.
>all those treasure maps
YOU'RE A FILTHY HORDER, YOSHI
>Wearable flowers
FFXIV CONFIRMED SAVED
>odd patches
>Flowers in hair
Truly the content XIV needed.
>>338472649
I just picked one up for 100k. You can only carry one timeworn map at a time. I figure I can flip it for a nice profit in a few weeks.
>>338473993
Craft it yourself or get a friend to. It's piss easy to get the materials the only hard part is HQing it. But in 3.3 that will get even easier as new gear is released.
kawhy
>>338474045
They know their audience.
>crafting and gathering
HERE WE GO
>>338473746
hai
>>338473791
There will be plenty of housing available as long as you don't play on a meme server.
>>338474089
I don't have any friends.
>>338474081
You can store one each retainer too.
>>338474150
Is Odin Europe a meme server?
dragon on head
also i'm done taking screenshots, my hype is gone for now
>>338474162
You can ask around for someone to help, even if they aren't friends. Or join a FC.
>New crafter gear shared across classes
Thank god.
>MORE scrips
I'm done.
Well this has been wholly disappointing and tone deaf.Time to start prepping for Legion, see you guys when Jimjams of Ala Mhigo comes out.
>More scrip shit
Whoever came up with that idea needs to be castrated.
>>338474248
CHAOS IS A MEME DATABASE
>>338474248
Yes, it has become THE meme server.
Better try Moogle.
>>338474248
One of the dankest.
>>338474248
It's a german centric server, so yes.
>>338474163
Oh good to know thanks anon.
>>338473745
Primal horses can fly?
Please, /v/, he doesn't have much time left.
Legion will steal the WoWfags and /v/ and with Final Fantasy XV coming out that game will steal the very few people who play XIV that are Final Fantasy fans.
Please, be considerate and buy a bennu so he can go on one last 5 month vacation in a castle somewhere.
>>338474263
I'm not going to start begging people I don't know to craft me HQs. I will get them with my own power.
Like I said, I'm only 300k away. Not like I need any help at this point.
>moogle and dragon beasttribe gives grade V crafting materia
!!
>>338474339
That would be Shiva.
>>338474331
>Better try the frenchie server
no
>>338474391
is this true?
>>338474339
Oh boy, just like Shiva
Between frogs and nazis, the EU community is literal cancer
>Revenge of the Horde
Where's the revenge? Where's the Horde?
>>338473971
It will probably be getting nerfed at some point.
>>338473993
I made the money for mine selling the mountain of grade 4 materia from doing my beast tribe dailies while working on unidentifieds.
>>338474347
You can have a minimum of four maps of the same kind. One each free ratainer, one open in keyitems and one closed in inventory.
>>338474426
>It will probably be getting nerfed at some point.
Pre-Heavensward relics were never nerfed were they?
>Vath gear
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
vath set would make awesome samurai armor
>>338474406
I don't know what they were saying in nip, all it said was making it easier to get materia.
>>338474301
From what they are saying scrip acquisition is being balanced to not be so fucking retarded.
>>338474357
Should I try WoW now that Legion is on the way?
FFXIV was fun but it's getting stale now.
>Gnath glamour
That's kind of hot.
>>338474504
They got nerfed into ez-modo. Especially around 2.5
>>338474531
Legion will be the end of WoW.
It's literally shaping up to be the worst expansion yet.
Beh, tank set looks crap comapred to other two.
>>338474531
WoW has been stale for years, and you're delusional if you think Legion will fix anything
>>338474531
wow has gotten to the point now that they're ripping off XIV so i'm not sure that would be wise
personally i'm going to be playing overwatch
>>338474531
Did you like WoD and all the facebook game garrison bullshit? If no then don't bother. Its going to be more of the same shit with class halls.
Apparently there will be basically no weapon drops either and everyone will have the same super awesome legendary artifact weapon which is fucking stupid.
>optimize gear button
This is a much needed qol improvement.
>how dare you choose your own gear? here let me choose it for you
Recommended Gear Button
Turning your slut into a real healer!
anyone got a screenshot of the vath gear?
>>338474531
WoW live right now is pretty trash honestly. Legion is fixing a lot of its problems, but there's no guarantee the patch cycle of Legion will be able to back that up.
It will be, however, an objectively better GAME than FFXIV is right now. The GCD changes in Legion after playing FFXIV for the past year feels like I'm strapped into a sub-sonic jet in a fun way.
>layout saving
FUCKING FINALLY
>>338474531
No, Yoshida will be upset. Buy a bennu.
>HUD layout save feature
2 years too late for fuck's sake it's about goddamn time
>>338474679
Yes, but the weapons have so many different skins that there are technically more visual weapon variations than previously.
>>338474693
>>338474696
all it does is give you the best possible set based on shit already in your inventory
Have the devs done anything to break the predictable patch pattern? Any reason to resub if I quit in 3.1 due to no content?
>>338474727
Please dont tell me the Vanu/Gnath is VA only
I don't know nip, but apparently he's saying you have the option to change HUD layout when you change gear sets.
Amazink
>>338474679
>>Apparently there will be basically no weapon drops either and everyone will have the same super awesome legendary artifact weapon which is fucking stupid.
Uh, Anon? That's literally every single video game with gear ever. It's been that way in WoW ever since Molten Core, here's your BiS weapon, this is the one you use, you will have it for the next six months.
Only difference is now they're front loading all your weapon models instead of drip feeding them over the expansion, and giving you way more recolors of them.
>>338474727
>Gnath armor has a cape
Finally I can become the Blacked Swordsman.
>>338474720
>there's no guarantee the patch cycle of Legion will be able to back that up
It's almost guaranteed that it won't. I seriously doubt they'll suddenly start giving a shit at this late point
>>338474772
No, it's still the same formula and that's why a lot of people hate Heavensward or find it disappointing. Still no risks either that Yoshida talked about.
houston we have a problem
>>338474727
>>338474809
>>338474727
The Vath armor and the tank set are pretty good.
Wtf are they babbling about?
>>338474772
not at all. same path since 2.0.

From http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/293255-Letter-from-the-Producer-LIVE-Part-XXX-Update-Thread?p=3706086
>The Final Steps of Faith
The secret trial is The Final Steps of Faith, where you will face off against Nidhogg with a full party of 8 adventurers. We won't touch on the story leading up to it, but you can also expect an Extreme version that will reward weapons. The item level is pretty good, and the designs are really cool looking as well!
>>338470341
Missed it, can someone TL;DR me about what's going to happen with this update?
I kinda want to get back in FFXIV it was fun
>>338474984
>partial match added to market board search
took them long enough
Haven't played since Final Coil came out, is it still fun to get back in to?
>>338474875
>>338474980
That's a shame. One of the reasons I quit after 3.1
>Partial match to market board search
Only took them almost 3 years
>>338475043
>Extreme Steps of Faith
>>338475069
Right.
It was so fucking weird that wasn't a thing. Kind of blew my mind vanilla WoW had then that and FFXIV didn't.
>>338474772
Patches are still on like clockwork, save for the fact that they're ending the Dragon War with 3.3, and likely going to set up more deadly potato plots for 3.4 and beyond.
3.35 will add a new endless dungeon, which is basically Nyzul Isle, but with glowy weapons that people can upgrade and eventually use outside of the new content.
They'll just toss another free play period due to patch releasing, to show "strong" numbers for investors meeting and marketing purposes of players actively playing the game, so just log in for that and catch up on ilvl, before it spreads a bit too much. We've gone from 145 - 230 now, upon hitting 60, and 3.3 may bump it up higher with new Void Ark gear. VA1 was 200, while Alex1 NM was 190, so expecting similiar this time around. Not to mention new EX as detailed here >>338475043
>>338475072
SCoB/Final Coil was the high point of the game.
But if you're a 50, hitting 60 and doing all the new content and all 2.X content unsynced could be fun.
>>338475043
>The Aquapolis
**Introduced The Aquapolis with live gameplay.
*Yoshida explained about The Aquapolis while playing the game.
*(*Also showed off new cosmetic gear.)
Up until you find a treasure chest and defeat all the monsters, it be the same flow as usual for treasure hunts.
However, when opening the treasure chest a special portal could open. It will stay open for 10 minutes, so be sure to hop in before it disappears. It’s recommended to head inside with more than a light party. After finalizing your lots on the rewards that dropped, the map holder can select the entrance and bring everyone in.
Inside, the content is synced to item level 180.
>Shitter Crown updates
>lets put partial search for the mb

At least we can still see who's a shitter.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT PVP
FUCK
>You can now search for part of an items name
>You won't be able to see how many are on sale till you click it because it might crash the server.
Come the fuck on
why are mentors always the shittiest players in a group?
>>338475279
JPs probably don't have the problem where all Mentors are shitters.
>shitters in charge of teaching sprouts how to play
>>338475043
So are we not getting a Waring Triad fight?
Nidhogg isn't the only new trial right? Demon/Goddess will be there too right?
>>338475316
Quality Japanese programming strikes again, I see.
>>338475189
>SCoB/FCoB
>implying BCoB/SCoB wasn't the pinnacle
>>338475341
I've heard the mentor situation is a lot better over there. It really seems to be depend on servers. Servers like Balmung obviously have a terrible novice network and larger servers like that have the problem of RMT spammers getting invited to them.
>trade mentors
>jews telling people misinformation so they keep a larger market share on crafts
>>338475413
We are, you can see in >>338471370 that there's a second trial with a "The OOO" in it.
And, you know, the devblog had a thing on the next Warring Triad thing too.
>>338475435
>>338475413
>>338475436
What does Japan has to do with anything?
>>338475492
We're not. It's
OOOO Trial
EX OOOO Trial.
This is worse than the Yokai Watch letter
>>338475492
It says 極◯◯◯◯ as in "Extreme *****"
I know not how to obtain PvP Mentor, but I feel that is right up my alley. Already up to 68 matches this week in Frontlines, and still needing a few more wins for an achievement piece.
Don't really care about winning or losing, so the ability to nurture newer players for PvP action sounds great to me.
>>338475321
Because 9/10 take themselves too seriously. SE should have broken it up to role-based mentors, like tanks / healers / ranged DPS / melee DPS, to better address questions for players. As it is now, someone is qualified in SE's eyes to answer any and all questions by face rolling roulettes for over a year, when that isn't the case in application.
>>338475413
>>338475435
Zurvan SHOULD be next, unless they're skipping the new primal to make the Dragon War super-duper special and important. I figure Steps of Faith 2 is more of a jab at players, and the real EX is going to be different. Wouldn't be suprised if SoF 2 is how the final fight plays out, but really doubt it needs an EX version, as those are reserved for resummonable primals at this point.
