I'd much rather blame the omen that is XIII for your problems.

That's because a huge chunk of it's earnings have gone in to funding XV. Hopefully that can change after it's relaease, but I somewhat doubt it.

How do we know this?
>>339495175
Go back and look at the earnings reports. It was almost the only thing generating profit for SE for over a year. And that money certainly hasn't been put back in to the game now has it, Yoshi is still working with the same limitations he had when he was making 1.0

>>339493776
But FFXIV still looks better because of its Victorian/realistic fantasy style. The problem is, as amazing as the world looks, there's no incentive to explore it.
Rather than spendin 100 million to upgrade the look of FFXIV, they should just add more explorable side quests and stuff to do besides raiding/dailies. But then, that would make it Dragon Quest X.
>>339493776

>>339505137
>The problem is, as amazing as the world looks, there's no incentive to explore it.
That's hilariously incorrect. The game looks fucking awful even on the DX11 client; the best you'll get is sometimes there's interesting landmass. There's no AA, the parralax mapping they didn't even attempt to do properly, anytime you run you'll see a mysterious line form on the ground that runs with you, texture resolutions are awful and due to ps3 limitations there isn't even basic fucking merchants traveling between points.
The world is ugly and empty and the dungeons are oddly the only real good looking areas that everyone just blazes through.
People still play this?
>>339505659
textures are dogshit, but the lighting is really pretty
>>339505137
>Muh exploration
I never understood the whole exploration idea. What is it that you want other than nice scenery? There's even random events you can find of people traveling along that you can discover.
What would side-quests do, exactly?
>>339505847
Lighting is bad too.
most of the time your characters look awful because of their asinine projections.
I will say the weather effects were very nice; heat lightning in gridania always felt good to see.
>>339505659
Fine, I'll put it a different way for the PC graphics extremists. The games textures might not look good, but it has infinitely better art design and direction than FFXV does. But of course if all you care about is how many polygons the game is pushing, then yes. You'll prefer FFXV.
>The world is empty
That was the main point of my post. They need to add more stuff to do besides just raids and story quests.
>>339506067
They have side quests, treasure hunts, monster hunts, FATEs, gathering... can't think of much else but there's things to do in the overworld.
Problem is, of course, of how relevant it is. And truth be told I think gamers are just tired of the fantasy genre.
Oh is that a floating city? Eh, what else is new. Fuck it.
>>339506067
>They need to add more stuff to do besides just raids and story quests.
They won't.
>he games textures might not look good, but it has infinitely better art design and direction than FFXV does. But of course if all you care about is how many polygons the game is pushing, then yes. You'll prefer FFXV.
>this game has art design I don't like so this extremely generic looking mmo has good
I will admit the concept art for FFXIV is GOAT but the actual executed models/textures are trash and I feel you don't play many other games.
>>339505663
I want to roast that potato.
Spitroast it.
Over an actual fire.

>>339505663
Could they have possibly designed Lalafell with more hideous proportions?
>>339506587
They designed them to appeal to toddlercons.
>>339505946
Let's put it this way. Doing a few quests where the game tells you whereto go is okay. But when every single quest is 'run to the indicated marker, kill something, then go back to NPC', there's zero variety and it gets old.
It wouldn't have been that hard to shake things up a bit. You could still have the set story quests from NPCs in town as I described above. But it would have been far more engaging for the player if many of the other quests you actually found through exploration. This gives people an actual incentive to go explore every inch of the world, to find new quests. Rather than just running to an indicator on the map to finish one quest, then ignore everything else.
It also would keep people playing longer. As it stands now, 90% of people just rush through the game until they no longer have any more NPCs giving quests, then quit. If people had to actively go search for quests, they would 1) Play longer as it takes actual time to find them and 2) Keep looking for more quests, even if there wasn't new ones. In the process of doing both those things, they would have more interaction with the world.
>>339506258
>They have side quests, treasure hunts, monster hunts, FATEs, gathering...
The problem is not what kind of quests they have, but how they're implimented. Wither you're talking about FATEs, gathering quests or treasure hunts, 99% of them are initiated by talking to an NPC first, rather than finding the quest on your own. A few gathering quests and the monster hunts are about the only things I can think of where you don't have to talk to an NPC beforehand. And even then, all it entails is looking at a list on the menu screen. Not actually finding anything yourself.
>>339507232
So, what you want are hidden quests, pretty much?
At which point people will just go to a website and find a list of all the hidden quests to figure out how to do them. Either that or ignore them as inconsequential.
>>339505018
I want to give her kisses through her buttwindow!
>>339505018
>too bad
Dying is the best thing that happened to her.
>>339507534
There's a difference between a quest being hidden and a quest being on the overworld to find. Though it depends on how the developer implements it. And given the history of the FF series, they probably would do something stupid like put a quest behind an invisible wall or a complex system of clicking on bushes to unlock it. When it doesn't need to be that complex. Literally just have a random item you find or a rare enemy you kill which starts the quest.
>>339506771
The problem is that MMO quests by and large, and utterly boring inane bullshit that people want to avoid like the plague to get to the actual meat of the content.
Fix that first.
What are your wildest hopes and dreams for 4.0 /v/? Are they reaslistic? Do you think they'll change the formula we've had through 2.X-3.X now? Why is Min the sexiest and best girl?
>>339505663
Sadly yes, lalafell still exist.
XIV water > XV water.
>>339507878
And what's the incentive for this? Am I going to get a rare item as a reward? A substantial amount of gil? Because if it's just going to be exp there's not much incentive.
And you know SE wouldn't make it a worthwhile treat to find once in a while.
>>339507923
What meat is there after the quests? All you have is optional quests which are exactly the same as story quests, crafting or raiding. Most people quit the game because all that 'meat' is even worse than the story quests.
>>339508438
Even the blind cat is better than her.
>>339508438
All I want is Blue Mage. I don't care if it's tank, DPS or healer, I just want it.
>>339498642
>What do you expect from a game that blatently rips models from XI, XII and XIII?
And from I,II, III,IV,V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X. it's a Final Fantasy MMO after all and the fanservice is good for this kind of games.
>>339508654
Problem is, Blue Mage won't be anything unique. You'll just be playing a DPS class that has some healing. And instead of gaining skills from being hurt by enemies, you'll gain skills the same way as every other class. Finishing story quests and an NPC giving you a new skill.
Blue Mage should get skills by doing a crazy quest like 'Let Marbolo hit you with Bad Breath 100 times'. Instead it'll be 'Go kill 10 Malboros: You gained Bad Breath!'
>>339508557
Dungeons, PvP (lol), raids, trials...
Group content, basically. The reason for it being an MMO in the first place.
>>339508849
>monster races are the same as models.
>>339508438
Hoping for a skill revamp. Boh to reign in skill bloat and to revamp the way skills are gained so you don't end up with things like PLD not having shield oath until 40.
>>339508438
I expect more lies from the dev team and 90% unfulfilled promises that eventually kill the game harder than HW did when people realize it rehashes ARR YET AGAIN as 2-3 weeks in people find themselves grinding FATES for maguffins, doing beast tribe dailies, roulettes, and wiping to the latest meme raid or EX primal.
>>339508557
>Most people quit the game because all that 'meat' is even worse than the story quests.
No fucking way. Only when you do that shit 30 times but the dungeons/raiding is good at least once.
>>339508980
Not only "Monster Races". They use other FF enemies as bosses like FFVI sephiroth, FFIX Ozma in next patch, FFIII bosses in Syrcus Tower, Knights of the Round and a massive etc. And that's not WRONG. That's what the players want. It's a FF game and players want FF content.

>>339508901
I don't care. I am 100% okay with Mighty Guard just being the exact same effect as Protect, because it will be called Mighty Guard.
Yoshi-P has gone on record saying he doesn't want to have a "Let Malboro hit you with Bad Breath 100 times" situation, because that would lead to BLUs leveling without getting all their spells, and getting shunned from groups because of it.
My personal hope for BLU is that they would get to equip their Blue Magic in a similar way to the Cross Class system. With each job quest being, "Go out and learn ~5 Blue Magic Spells"
>>339509351
Mighty Guard is already the tank LB.
>>339508438
I expect absolutely nothing.
>>339509274
People like those things, it's fanservice that require work, they need to make need models, it's when they are lazy it's bad.
>>339509426
Fuck me, I forgot about that. They'd better rename it then, because Mighty Guard and Bad Breath are pretty much the only enemy skills BLU absolutely has to have.
>>339509592

>>339509767
Again, don't care. The job could be utterly useless, and I will still play it. I just want BLU in the game.
>>339510017
Why not just play a PLD if you want to be useless?
>>339508901
Which is already pretty much what happens in FFXI
>>339508438
After HW it became painfully obvious that current dev team is incapable of designing any content that isn't a copy paste of the existing one. And don't try to use executive meddling as an excuse - it could have affected the amount of content, but it doesn't explain uninspired design of basically everything, rehashed bosses and mechanics and development time wastes on DoA content
>>339510080
You can be useless and still fun, like mch.
>>339510080
Hey, that's my main class!
Even though I'll play BLU no matter what role it is, I'm kind of hoping it's Tank, so that my position in my raid group stays the same.
>>339510017
Weren't RED and SAM confirmed to come first?
I really want BLU to happen...but don't know how are they going to do it. Remember BLU have always been a debuffer and we have the SMN doing this with the skills a BLU is supposed to have...so or they completely change the way SMN is or BLU will just be a BLM with water spells.
>>339508227
Woah i got a stalker
>>339510017
Ship has sailed. There will never be another implementation as good as blu in 11 when the level cap was still 75. Blu in 14 would be mind-numbing spamming just like the blm or smn "rotation." We already know the dev team can't develop compelling combat systems, they'd make a mockery of something as open ended as blue mage.
A skill revamp for 4.0 would be great, but they'll never do it. I'd be so happy if they added Samurai, I'd max level it immediately.
The only problem I have with the game that I wish they would fix is to give all the jobs more distinction. If you've played 1 physical dps, you've played them all. Same goes for healers. They literally all get the exact same spells just with a different coat of paint, and maybe 1-2 """""unique"""" spells. It's fucking boring.
WoW got class diversity right. If it's one thing this game really needs to steal from them, it's that.
>>339496876
This is the issue I have with Neptunia. I honestly didn't care for the series until I played it in English.
FFXIV is bland across the board.
>>339510169
>thinking MCH isn't better than BRD in literally every way
LOL
Please don't delude yourselves into thinking 4.0 will revamp absolutely anything in this pile of shit, and just move on.

WHM and SCH skills are pretty different.
>>339510187
>Weren't RED and SAM confirmed to come first?
No. RDM and SAM were both mentioned in the last anniversary event, but so was BLU. None of them were ever confirmed though, just listed as highly likely possibilities.
>I really want BLU to happen...but don't know how are they going to do it.
Due to the nature of BLU, they can do whatever the fuck they want with the job.
>Remember BLU have always been a debuffer
Where on earth are you getting that idea from?
>>339510426
Wow anon, it's like you don't enjoy doing the exact same thing for literally 99.999999% of the game when you play any job that isn't SCH.
Stop complaining and enjoy doing your optimal DPS rotation that will never EVER change for any reason as you dance around mechanics.
>>339493776
>you will never marry your own Lalafell
>>339510483
A total gameplay revamp for 4.0 would be great. Current combat sucks.
They'll have to do some ability pruning sooner or later, when I played my bars were almost full without counting pots/food/pvp abilities.
>>339510483
Why do you think WoW only adds a new class like, once a decade?
>>339510483
I want them to nuke the game again.
Make it look better, play better, drop console support, even ps4.
>>339510483
A complete overhaul of the system, like from 1.0 to 2.0 would be great (and arguably necessary). Even just adding an actual Support role would be amazing.
It'll never happen, though. The only reason for the first overhaul was because it was a commercial failure. Now that it's making bank, there's no reason to change.
I think the fan-service and world of FFXIV was fun, and getting a class to max level was what I did in my spare time in between raids, but the game boils down to idle simulator like every MMO because of the lack of shit to do.

I had a lot of hope for Heavensward, and the leveling experience was nice, but the end-game ran into the same shit as ARR.
>>339494570
It was both.
XV's development was held back by both XIII sequels and rebuilding XIV. I play XIV myself, but I get very frustrated when people say that XV is stealing funds from XIV. Not only are they the same series and XV doing well has the potential to directly influence the long term success of XIV, but XV has had so much time and money taken from it over the last decade to rescue other Final Fantasy products.
Its great that XIV is back on its feet and making Square Enix money, but don't act like the money being spent on XV is somehow a slap to the face to the XIV playerbase.
>>339510772
>enjoy doing your optimal DPS rotation that will never EVER change
I could only imagine how long dungeons would take if optimal DPS changed, as 80% of the people I run in to can barely pull 60% of what they should be.
"Hey, try and stay in your Earth-attuned path this boss takes extra damage from it. And avoid wind-aspected damage."
"Fuck you I play how I want fucking tryhard"
>>339500697
the pain will never go away
>>339510772
>Stop complaining and enjoy doing your optimal DPS rotation that will never EVER change
Rotations changed from 2.0 to 3.0.

>>339498642
They'll rip enemies from XV and make them new trash/bosses/hunts for the next expansion.
>>339511897
Yeah they changed because you got new skills. As soon as you get them, there will always be an optimal rotation though.
>>339493776
>XI will never have XV's budge, but is already polished more than that turd XIV.
>>339512392
And we'll have come full circle.
>>339512135
I don't think it's even possible to wipe due to shitty DPS in the current high level dungeons. Just for giggles I went in on a monk and just did autoattack damage. Still cleared the thing in 32 minutes.
>>339512440
Even XIV is better than hold O to win the game. Don't be retarded.
>>339502864
If your group needs to turrets to not wipe, they're the one that are shit.
>>339512409
That's because the whole game is incredibly static. There are no character builds, no talents, no skill-altering gear bonuses, no bosses with elemental immunities. Of course in this situation everything would be quickly optimized .
>>339502864
Sounds like you did nothing wrong and your group was dogshit.
>>339512440
Polish is probably the one thing XIV does better than XI. Having to reload everything from the server from inventory to chat on zoning is awful. Being locked in menus because the animations for enemies hitting you is still playing out is shit. The update process is still slow as hell and manual updates don't always work 100%.
>>339510717

>>339513381
What's bad about Nexon?
Because XIV is just a cash cow at this point. It will never have any kind of long term improvements as long as it can sustain steady income from weebs and other casuals that subscribe to play dress up. It literally only still exists because it helped SE get out of bankruptcy from the first attempt.
>>339513510
They invented P2W.
>>339512826
As much as I like XIV, this is my major complaint with it.
Every White Mage plays the same as every other White Mage, every Black Mage plays the same as every other Black Mage... The only difference is whether someone got certain cross-class skills or not.
Like you said, there's no builds, no gear that gives cool bonuses, and the elemental system is a joke and might as well not exist. Same for attribute points. There's never any reason to not invest in Mind as a White Mage, and the only kind of choice you get with them is whether you want to become a Summoner or Scholar as an Arcanist.
I mean I've played F2P MMOs with more depth.

I fucking WISH people were halfway competent at playing BLM. I still see people tranposing in a single target rotation at level 60.
Anyway, your point stands. Yoshi had the gall to say that the different melee jobs were effectively the same thing as alternate specs in other games, but it those games you don't have to level an entire class to level cap to switch between them.
They had a good thing with the Arcanist job split, but since it's too hard, they're not going to do it anymore.

Not only that, but every FFXIV raid encounter is designed to be eventually beatable with any job combination. This limits the potential encounter mechanics and options. So even if you level all jobs to the cap, you would have less of an advantage than someone just switching the specs in other MMOs.

The 'mundane' aspect isn't the fault of the Japanese voices. But because they were directed to act subtly. You can claim the Japanese voices in most FF games are subtle. Hell, I've been playing FFIV recently and Cecil is so mundane, it sounds like he's being sarcastic anytime someone dies. Other characters are screaming 'Tellah!' and he's just like 'Tellah....' Which again, isn't the fault of the voice actor, who is known for playing plenty of outgoing, loud voices in anime and games. Just in this one game, they told him to be drab and solemn.
Still, I'd rather take monotone and boring over 'Kawaii cockney catgirls haha!'

I was thinking about redesigning cross-class skills and I had a neat idea. Let's make them tied to a job role like limit break, not to a specific class. For example, all tanks automatically unlock provoke at lvl 20, all melees unlock Invigorate, casters and healers unlock Swiftcast.

>anything that wasn't 8 man was piss easy
This is one of my biggest problems with the game. Every single dungeon/primal/anything is so ducking easy. There's no other way to describe it. You can easily run into almost any fight in the game and just faceroll without any idea what's going on. I swear back when I played WoW it was harder than this. It's been so long I can't even remember what the fight mechanics in WoW were like, but they must have been more complicated than this causal fest.

Samurai will get added for sure its one of the most requested classes. I just really don't want it to be a tank class which it probably will be. BLM and RDM are highly requested but I don't feel either class would fit into FFXIV without butchering the class.
They will need to add more armory chest space before adding more classes though honestly there's 23 classes max so there's only room for 2 more classes if you have all of them without requiring you to store weapons in retainers or your inventory which would be awful. I think the 25 limit is a PS3 limitation and they have talked about expanding it so I would expect it to increase in 4.0 with PS3 support dropped.

Well they already did that with other jobs. BLM spamming Fire, Ice being a "reload MP" and Thunder being a dot, DRK being a FUCKING TANK and not a 2H Sword DPS, SMN based on dot damage and not on summons, Bard not being a support and just being another "dipies" job.
I don't think "butchering the class" is considered a problem to the dev. team.

>>339511393
They can't even give us 2 boss fights anymore.
We used to get tons of shit in 2.0, now we can't even get the 2nd Warring Triad fight because they need to do a Nidhogg fight.
>>339500268

And this is my biggest issue with the game. FFXIV feels like it has no soul. It doesn't feel like an FF game beyond the names of jobs and primals and having chocobos. It's the most generic shit.
>>339516515
they can, its just they wasted time on shit like verminion

>>339500516
Chances are Square is holding onto a few beloved jobs (Red Mage, Blue Mage, Dancer) and they're going to try to win over with nostalgia again instead of just creating fun content.
FFXIV ARR desperately needs something like Salvage/Nyzul Isle from FFXI. More content that gets people in static groups for extended periods means more people sticking around to play your game. None of this weapon grind garbage. FATEs haven't been fun in years, most dungeons can be zerged, and the early game zones are barren unless you're on one of the few extremely high pop servers.
The gear system is just retarded. Glamour is alright, but it would be awesome to make lower level rare items worth keeping. Seems retarded to grind for an entire set of Cavalry gear in Brayflox, and then 10 levels later you won't ever use a single piece of it again. It's now just trash for glamouring.
>>339516526
Did you not play FF9? Everything about that game, including the entire story, was ripped from the previous games.
>>339516281
What will they move onto once they run out of iconic FF bosses for that nostalgia bait? Recolored iconic FF bosses?
>>339508534
Holy shit, that fucking filter they used for all the 3.0 zones when they were showing them off.
I forgot how scared I was that the entire game would look like that.
>>339500697
XI still lives, but Yoshida is running SE's online division while heading XIV, so the game is treated like a red-headed stepchild. It still gets updates every month, but the propect of no more story expansions hurts.
>>339516418
>blm uses black magicks
In all the other FF games the 3 elemental spells can deal the same damage and the player uses one based on the weakness of the enemy.
In FFXIV you use fire as damage, ice as recovering, thunder as dot.
I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just not how the original job should work.
>drk does drk stuff from other games
Here I have to disagree. DRK on other games was a job that dealt more damage in echange for it's own health. It was totally a DPS job. They destroyed this feature and turned it into "you get MP drained and can absorb HP from the enemy". Totally changed the whole purpose of the job.
>>339516715
FF7, 9 and 10 are literally all based on the same thing.

>>339516650
There's a diference between an addon making light effects and sounds telling you "DO THIS!, DO THAT! GO HERE! GO THERE!!" and studying a boss mechanics watching/reading a guide.
>>339516725
Ravana was brand new.
I'd say they should get off the nostalgia train and give us more of that.
>>339516790
desu Im glad drk is more tank because theres already a ton of dps jobs
>>339516725
Oh, the pool is always deeper. There are only four bosses per raid (whether it's four bosses in a single 24-man, or one boss in each of four 8-man raids), and they can use even the most minor boss or NPC from over a dozen other games.
I want to resub to this after not playing since Alexander release. Should I?
>>339516995
No.
>>339516915
Ravana is just a reskin boss/enemy from XI.

>>339498642
This is the most retarded argument I hear about 14. There are a bunch of glaring flaws and this is not one of them. They've returned enemies for the entire series. Might as well whine about there being Dragoons, Black mages and White mages too.

In XI a lot of optional quests help complete story points of the main story missions, or can be interesting on their own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNn6n5bDNZY
Then again, when XIV's main story quests are breadcrumbing fetch quests and the ones with actual cutscenes often have bad voice acting when they do happen, I figure one gets used to try and avoid dealing with more of the same unless necessary.

>>339517769
It definitely was a time constraint-oriented thing, but it worked out fine and didn't feel incredibly forced. They've been better about ripping things directly, and at the very least they make new models and textures if they're going to take an enemy from XI. This was only an issue on release
>>339517957
>>339518027
Some of the English VAs are fantastic. Aymeric is pure sex, and Nanamo is good even though she barely gets any spoken lines. New Alphinaud is much better than the ARR one.
>>339518184
Estinien sounds pretty fuckin neato in the new trailer too. I felt like he actually wanted to kill me
>>339509351
With the way XIV currently works, its take on blue mage could be based on completing a hunting log on a given job at least up to a certain level to get the spells matching the mobs covered up until that level.
I'm not sure the game would support the level of customization XI allows though.
>>339518265

>>339493776
you're right, ff14 is for making money first and being a good game LAST
Everything else is for player retention and as long as they have a cash shop loaded with faggotry then they have even less of a reason to make the game more appealing. As long as there are retard fanboys that are willing to double their sub fee with retainers and garbage cosmetics then they will keep releasing mediocre content rather than diverting resources to their game to "improve" it.
>>339510147
In XI there's some luck involved which can be bumped with equipment and keeping your BLU magic skill capped.
I don't think XIV would be quite able to handle XI's customizable take on the job, especially with the ability to set traits based on selected spells.
