I just started this game earlier this week and this is my main gripe about it

Not only is the game solo-able, but it's actually anti-friend in the sense every non-dungeon instance must be done solo anyway.

And you'll probably never see the people you do dungeons with again.

Personally I have a problem with the special non-dungeon instances. The game goes out of it's way to show that you're the chosen one even though there was that one scene that clearly showed you were not the only newcomer to start making changes in the world. Like every time I got a job class it's like


>Oh anon, no one has been x for thousands of years!

Or

>No one else knows this super secret art but you!

Which would be nice if there weren't a thousand other white mages running around like me. The only jobs that seem to avoid this narrative is ninja, maybe scholar...? And ironically, the paladins, who have become so desperate they are literally taking on anyone they can get their armored palms on.

>>339860130

you being the chosen one and mastering jobs in months that it takes most people their entire life to do, you having the protection of more than one god like being and having six (6) super-mega-light crystals has become a point of plot significance. even your allies are starting to wonder whats up
>>
>>339859936
It's for the best, you were probably just a filler member to pad the FC profile numbers. You can't blame them for not talking to you if you're a boring fuck who waits for interaction though.

Motherfucker held both eyes of Nidhogg for the entire assault in Azys Lla. It was only when he dared to dream for a fleeting moment of a brighter tomorrow that Nidhogg enthralled him.

Most people get consumed the moment they get near one eye, let alone holds out for days whilst wielding both.

I was like that but then I got promoted to being an officer just because I actually do shit for the FC. Then when people realized I wasn't a useless faggot sponging up their time and resources they started talking to me.

Basically no matter where you go people are going to be sycophants to some degree or another if they don't know you. If you have nothing to offer and aren't interesting, why would they bother?
>>
>>339856513
Story reasons. Basically it's explained when they move it that they wanted to scions to ask for it in order to be more dependent on Ul'dah, it was for political reasons, which is why they moved to Mor Dhona, since it was independent.

Say things you normally wouldn't say to establish rapport or just to gain attention. Talk about something related to sex or Donald Trump. Those seem to be hot topics in my FC.
>>
>>339860503
In a game like FFXIV where there's always SOMETHING menial to grind on like dailies or DOH/L shit, you can make your own social opportunities by inviting them to join you.

Even if it's just one stupid thing one stupid time, you both made some progress and they (possibly) got a little more comfortable being around you, which is a start.
>>
>>339860349

I wouldn't know. I have yet to get past the main story quests for ARR so forgive me as my gripes may be outdated. I heard they now have a legitimate reason for thousands of bonafide jumpin' dragoons running around now but I have yet to get far enough to see it.

I love this game but I think I prefer the wow explanation of

>>339861223
If the player is a primal theory is true, all the adventurers could actually just be one summon.

Like the world doesn't even recognize that anybody but a single "warrior of light" exists. Which is how you end up in situations like ravana where you clearly did not solo him, but the story and all the characters ACT like you did.
>>
>>339861469
they completely retconned everything related to estinien, he's basically a different character in heavensward
they didn't bother changing the drg job quests
>>
>>339861223
Dragoons aren't the same as the Azure Dragoon.

Dragoons are just a special type of knight that focuses on spears and huntin' Dragons. Estinien is the one true Azure Dragoon chosen by Nidhogg's eye.

Even in the DRG quest, the eye only chose you because Estinien was corrupted. After he shook off Nidhogg's influence, he went right back to being the captain of the Dragoon and the real Azure Dragoon.

The WoL is just some kind of anomaly that also had an eye of Nidhogg temporarily, making him more special than the average DRG. That's no longer the case and Estinien is way more capable as a DRG.
>>
>>339861690
lol wow
>>
>>339861449
No, but lots of fags raid chests and shit.

Honestly there's little to no reason to actually have an FC if you don't want the social aspect of it. The exp buff is the biggest loss and that's assuming they even keep it up.
>>
>>339861469
He in fact did not die when you killed him, and he regained his control over the Azure Eye so he joins you to finally kill Nidhogg in the 3.0 MSQ.
>>
>>339861469

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee5uqXPpfK0

this explains it pretty much
>>
>>339860835

I couldn't say, anon. I got mnk up to 42 just for mantra and skipped all the text.
>>
>>339861469

in the dragoon questline you end up talking to estinien about nidhogg and the like. estinien ends up getting mind controlled and you fight him.

after you make him come to his senses, or if you never did the level 50 drg quest its never brought up, he appears in 2.5 as the azure dragoon, the super dragoon that has a dragon's eye that lets him weaken and overpower dragons

after giving Ysayle the bantz, going ripper mode on Nidhogg, he gets his ass corrupted again, this time fully so he becomes host to Nidhogg
>>
>>339861449
Not him, but in terms of getting the active bonuses and other perks like the FC box, yes. If all you're doing for the crew is logging in and having the tag next to your name, you're leeching those bonuses. The FC points that auto-generate usually don't count for groups that actually give a shit about being a unit.

>>339862116

The five percent isn't going to break the game, sure, but there's no disadvantage to NOT having it. Anyway I don't know how shit is for newer raid content so who knows maybe pve has outgrown the need for mantra.
>>
>>339862587

airships can still provide grade 5 materia and some other rare crafting mats

just because you can't yank out 40+ grade 4 materia for 30k a pop any more doesn't mean airships are worthless

The job system is handled badly but basically WAR is an old Hellsguard tradition lost to time due to more practical things coming around than letting a hulked out rage-a-holic rampage around a battlefield. BLM and WHM deal with forbidden magic, SMN is an old Allagan art while SCH is an old Nymian art and neither of those are around.

Hell, BRD, DRG, NIN, PLD, and MNK are like the only jobs from 2.0 that were rank & file soldiers in their nation's military. Wiped out (in the case of MNK) or not, they were still super common. DRK, MCH, and AST may as well be classes.

I actually liked the new merry fellowship of the crystals we had going with heavensward at first. Einstein the dragoon, dragon-jihad lady, fuccboi, potato-girl, and I forget when our wonderful friend who just wanted to protect our smile died - whether it was before or after our quest to find the truth.

To be perfectly fair, anyone running an organization should be expected to stay their ass in the HQ and actually plan shit.

However, easily at least half of the shit we had to teleport to Limsa, then to the arcanist aetheryte, then take the ferry to Vesper Bay to save on time and money for could have been easily relayed to us over the fucking linkpearl.

I've dropped this game and resubbed three times now and they have yet to fix this ridiculous quest grind that you're FORCED to do if you want to actually do any of the (shitty) PvE content.

It's no scholar, but I can still sleep through most difficult fights without putting any effort into it because I know my class.


And as someone who mained scholar and white mage during 2.0 and cleared 2nd coil within the first few weeks when it was relevant I can say that at 60 it can handle any task.

Palace of the Dead UI.

It has a progression system separate from the rest of the game. ilvls are useless, you power up with items you find in the dungeon and it seems to suggest those items will have varying effects that may not just be +100 crit and stuff.

>>339870695

its the palace of the dead. new thing to do that starts you off at level 1 and lets you progress through a randomized dungeon

Well you got to understand that everything after beating the Garleans was done in patches. GOOD KING MOOGLE MOG GOOD KING MOG was the like the first of the patch content there was.
