Xth for roegadyn boyfriends
lalafel
Cats now.
xth for crippling depression and social anxiety not allowing to enjoy this game at its full potential
Is anyone here such a shill that they own both the PC and PS4 version of the game?
I do raids on the PC when I need stuff and better reaction, but it's comfy as fuck playing on the couch with the controller. They designed it pretty well.
xth for auri a best
Always take it easy.
xth for collectables suck
>>126912664
I know that feel
It's even worse to think i'm on the most populated servers doing stuff alone while people have been waiting forever to roll on it to join their friends
>>126912725
>Tfw got full 60 mining gear
>Blue scripts are useless now
>Don't feel autistic enough for red ones
A new thread marks new beginnings in this saga of loneliness.
xth for marsy? more like mansy
>Just bought FFXIV cause a friend recruited me
>Decide I'll check out FFXIV general
>It's nothing but ERP and catgirls
Man, talk about disappointment
>meet guys from the thread
>eventually develop crushes on some of them
>they turn out to be good looking irl
>I'm not
>thread made me further realize I like dicks and has motivated me to take better care of myself in hopes that one day I won't be to embarrassed to approach a guy I like
Thanks /xivg/
>>126912787
Thankfully for Fishing Blue Scrips never stops being useful cause you get free bait.
xth for le au ra t-b-h
>>126912787
Did you get all 3 books?
Hey guys quick question for y'all.
Why the fuck aren't you playing as a femroe right now?
>>126912976
They've objectively ugly and unpopular.
>>126912903
Tfw no Lightning gf
>>126912964_No
>>126912903
Yeah, the general for this game is pretty shit. And it used to be a lot worse with namefagging catgirl ERPers.
If you get into one of the vg FCs its better
>>126912976
I don't want to be associated with a perverse fetish like futa.
>>126912976
Ugly heathens with grotesque fetishes.
>>126912935
le cat though in my honest onion
>>126912976
Because I decided to try out highlander for a while.
>>126912976
Because my gf plays one.
And playing as girls is weird.
>>126912964
are those even worth getting yet
>>126912976
because they run like refrigerators without knees
>>126912976
Because I'm going to fantasia to one tomorrow.
>>126912976
Because they look bad in most caster armor. I'm content with having fem roe friends for now. Maybe I'll go back some day.
>>126913034
Lightning is perfect in every way
>>126913036
I can see that, I imagine I'll have better luck pretending google is FFXIV general
>>126913138
Shouldn't you be asleep?
>>126912976
Because they should all be gassed and I don't want to be gassed
Can someone please invite me into the idolm_sters linkshell?
>>126913138
>Because they look bad
occam's razor to the rescue
>>126913110
Honestly, no
Without melds or red scripts gear he wouldn't be able to gather them anyway
xth for not having a boyfriend and feeling miserable
>>126912320
Just use life surge before full thrust
>I can't wait!
It wont't be fun for anyone besides me,I can gurantee it.
>>126912329
Sure,I'm not online though.
So add me on steam
>>126912664
iktf
>>126912856
dont bully me
>>126912976
Because someone has to be able to appreciate them without being them.
>>126912935
>au ra so ugly he finally covered up his face
thank god t b h
>>126913184
I did, for a bit. I'll go back...
>>126913198
No
So I just hit level 52 and I maxed out my poetic tomestones and I was wondering is there anything worth spending them on to make room for more. Someone from my FC mentioned it would be worth getting unidentifiable bones and shells for a weapon later but I don't really remember what they said
>>126912976
They're the worst male race, tied with male lalafells
So I only played healer and tank and started levelling a deeps. When should I LB, people always do it at the end but why not at the start so the bar fills up?
>>126913180
I had a cute Lightning gif but I lost it.
>>126913247
Yeah I know, Life surge + B4B and then full thrust. It's great. don't worry we'll have fun together.
>>126913265
Where exactly is that? I don't recognize it. It's beautiful.
>>126913286
>They're the worst male race
Yeah, nah.
>>126913036
>lvl 43 CNJ
>>126913283
22.6 in mor dhona there is a vendor
Buy shells since alex 2 is horrible
>>126912976
My bf is a male roe and I've been considering it. Its either this or au ra because they both have this skin color and I want to match him.
I just don't know, man.
>>126913316
In 4 mans LB should ideally be used for aoe on trash pulls.
>>126913316
LB whenever the fuck you want. If you're a caster, LB if the tank does a huge pull to significantly soften up the pack and make everyone's life easier.
If you're going melee, LB whenever. Does not matter. People will sperg out if you so much as hover over the LB key for anything other than the last 5% of the final boss of a dungeon, but they can go fuck themselves sideways with a rake.
>>126913326
It's the little Sylph village in East Shroud of Gridania, during TENSION.
I love it as a weather effect and wish it stuck around for longer. But it only comes and goes with our ol' buddy Odin.
>>126913374
So shells are worth spending my tomestones huh, do they lead to that weapon quest or whatever like my guild member said
>>126913383
Do it. Au Ra are trash and look like ugly dolls
>>126913429
Must be the weather that threw me off.
thanks.
>>126913450
au ra and roe is cute
>>126913447
Every unindentified thing is 1/80 of the grind you need to do for a 210 weapon
Stop buying shells once you have 20
How much better would HW have been if we got playable Viera instead of Au Ra?
>>126912976
I liked my femroe but I don't think I can go back to playing a female character.
what does this two leaf clover thing next to my name mean and how do I get rid of it?
>>126913138
>I'm content with being filled by my femroe friends for now.
When are you coming to balmung?
>>126913559
That's literally the same shit dude
>>126913561
She was so cute.
>>126913282And then add me back on steam.:^)
>>126913570
you need to breed.
>>126913591
bunny guys are not nearly as fucking edgy as the male au ra we ended up getting, don't even kid yourself.
>>126913561
I'd miss your cat honestly.
>>126913559
Without any fundamental changes to design philosophy? Absolutely no better at all.
>>126913512
super cute!
The sun rises.
And with it, shadow creeps into frame.
>>126913450
maybe if you're trash at making characters
>>126913450
Au Ra is pure and pretty.
Cat is gross kebab and must be removed.
>>126913481
Tension makes everything look amazing and new. I still remember the first time it happened.
I was in South Shroud doing some mining and suddenly the music just stops and the entire mood of the forest changed. It was cool and also at the same time frightening because I had no idea what was going on, and no idea what was going to happen next.
It was "tension" in every aspect, as though at any moment something terrible could come barreling through the mists and cleave my skull in half. I quickly learned what it meant but that little moment really stuck with me and knowing the mechanic it is tied to doesn't make me dislike it.
I kinda really want to see what the deeper parts of the Sylph forest look like with Tension on it. I've really only seen the greener parts.
Crap, now I have a side-mission.
>>126913582
Who keeps asking this?
>>126913618
Huh?
>>126913595
>>126913637
It's a struggle, I liked those three fantasias but there can only be one.
>>126913450
>dolls
Not a bad thing, just trying something kinda new
>>126913512
Aendy your couple comps are cute no matter what tho
>>126913570
Newbie - Ctrl O > edit search info and edit it w a little drop down thing to change your status
You have to be logged on iirc for 40h for it to go away
>>126913559
Those ears are so stupid.
They're lieraly au ra but instead of ugly scales they have ugly ears
>>126913718
She was cute but cat suits you better.
>>126913559
At least the females would actually be tall instead of midlanders + scales.
graaAAAAaaahhh.....
>>126913714
>Huh?
Wow, rude.
>>126913714
A collector of cute au ra.
>>126913838
oh no that dragon is going directly into your anus, faggot
>>126913849
Who?
>>126913857
Sounds spooky. Who are you?
>>126912935
>Not sitting next to the node
Wouldn't PvP with.
>>126913838
nnnnNnYYyyyarhh
>>126913918
The person who's removed you twice, obviously.
>>126913823
it's funny though, the people who make Au Ra for the most part try to make them as human as possible, including skin tone being humie skintone, even on Xaela. they all use minimum scales, shit color palettes, bad heterochromia eyes and awful limbal rings. it's not hard to make a lizard look like a lizard, people just don't even try, dude.
>>126913992
But midlanders with scales turn me on...
>>126913687
I like these posts.
Don't stop making them.
>seek out any would-be weavers and give them a warm welcome
HELP
>>126913992
I would love to make my Au Ra with slit eyes, but I can't.
>>126913910
I hope he's a cutie Au Ra male..
>>126914081
They're okay, but I personally wanted something a little more on the demonic side. And when they said in that one live letter that you would be able to make them "succubus-like", that's what I was expecting.
>>126914159
Look at the map
>>126914159
You have to use /welcome on some NPCs near the weavers guild if you're talking about the quest I think you are
>>126913979
Maybe later. Hope you enjoyed your va action. I'm going to sleep.
>>126913924
There is a node right there.
>>126914193
Thanks
>>126914210
Alright, fine. Sleep well.
>>126914127
One day everything will come to an end.
Even the mighty cannot withstand erosion.
>>126913992
It would have been better if au ra had some muscle tone and sharp shark-like teeth or something. Their humans with horns/scales thing is so boring...they barely even have claws
>>126914246
So what you're saying is that you want Rin from Free! yes?
>>126914228
In the distance, what if there's actually a smart NIN player in the enemy team?
>>126914159
>wanting to be a weaver
>>126914439
>smart NIN player
That's like saying there are modest warriors around.
How does a newcomer go about whoring themselves out for gil? No limits.
>>126914246
oh trust me, i agree entirely. i'd have loved them to be closer to the concept art, i really would, even if they didn't go all the way. i'm happy enough with them as they are though. i like their figure, i like how nice they look on DEX and caster jobs, but yeah, some muscle tone would be nice, and even mooncats got fangs, jesus.
will someone PLEASE cuck my shit up
>>126913247
>add me on steam
not that guy butid pls
>>126913992
>the official Au Ra teaser has both girls as midlanders with scales and horns
GEE BOB
>>126914553
Take up fishing.
Everything is okay because none of this ever mattered.
Nothing.
EVER.
M A T T E R E D
>>126914648
you've seen SE's char design for most NPCs, yes? or Japan's idea of "what looks good" in general? i'm a weeb and i think they're garbage. i'm not saying 95% of Au Ra don't look like anything other than midlanders with scales, but it is possible to distance yourself from it if you try. i do know what you're saying though.
this game is boring
All I'm doing is completing menial fetch quests
When does it get social & fun?
>>126914853
>When does it get
>social
Thats up to you.
>fun
Never.
>>126914853
>social
whenever you find friends to play with
>fun
whenever you start to get interested in the storyline
if you're already done with the main scenario then see: >>126914912
>>126914973
But what if I don't find quests fun?
>>126914824
>>126914571
>>126914245
>>126913687
Calm down naaki you depressive loser
>>126912556
Botany is F.U.N!
>>126915000
>I don't find story and cutscenes fun
Why are you playing final fantasy?
Much less one of the final fantasy MMOs?
>>126913559
They could have just did it like with TERA where the females were Viera and the males were raccoon or some shit.
>>126915000
>don't find quests fun
Why are you playing an MMO?
>>126915186
Viera males exist, you know.
>>126915262
The devs couldn't make them look good that's why they didn't add them for HW.
>>126915140
Is it? I enjoyed Mining but I can't get around on Botanist.
60 miner 20 botanist.
>>126915173
>>126915253
I came over from runescape and quests really weren't important in that game
>>126915173
>story is what makes a Final Fantasy
Love this meme.
>>126915368
It sure as fuck isn't the gameplay, lad
>>126915412
Bullshit, Crisis Core had great gameplay
>>126914439
there was a node right next behind me, just not in the screenshot
>>126915458
And a pretty nice story, aside from the gay poetry duel on the barrel of the Juno Cannon.
I knew how the ending was gonna go but sure made me feel the feels.
>>126915412
Do you really pay attention to the story in these games? Sad.Logic goes both ways, retard.
>>126915364
Except that they are.
>>126915364
>playing runescape
>not doing grandmaster quests
What a boring waste of time.
How would you suggest an open mind to flirting and taking it further in your search info without going all autotranslate ERP slut?
>>126916008
something suggestive but not blatently lewd
>>126916008
"All kinds of RP. Friendly!"
>>126916008
"Fun and friendly."
>>126916008
Put a limerick in.
How do I make friends..
>>126916008
"Friendly and open to RP! :)"
>>126913316
We'll see..
>>126914590http://steamcommunity.com/id/Marsychan/
>>126916216
play a female character
>>126916216
Lots of spare parts in Tam Tara Deepcroft, just read the notes and start getting to work.
>>126916008
Like this.
>>126916249
Holy shit there's a ghost behind you.
>>126916358
I already do this.
>>126916430
I get the joke but that's mean, man.
Began playing this with boy friend... What is square's stance on erp?
Also, best way to make Gil?
>>126916424
you buy a mansion?
>>126916524
They don't care
>>126916437
dress skimpy, make sexual innuendos
>>126916564
Nope, purchased a small for myself and another for a fc friend. What really got me was the 7ish mil to decorate my own than lending the same friend another 5+ mil to decorate his.
>>126916497
BUT THERE'S LITERALLY AN EVIL GHOST WITH A PUMPKIN ON HIS HEAD BEHIND THEM.
So to break from the catposting and avatarfagging, I want to ask a legitimate question.
How the fuck does player housing work in this game? How do I get my own fuck castle and whatnot?
>>126916524
Square doesn't care about erp unless you harass people or start spamming chat.
>>126916771
Plots of land come available from the to time, you can buy them if they are free or you can buy them from other players which cost a ton. Then you can make/buy foundations walls etc and a roof.
Enjoy your house.
>>126916720
How do you know it's evil? Did you ask it a question that it could respond to in an evil manner?
>>126916771
Kinda sorta. Land for housing is limited. You buy a plot of varying size when it's available for an exorbitant price and then you own it and can put stuff in it. Don't log in for like 45 days or so and you lose it.
>>126916771
buy the plot of land, buy the house to be built there, decorate it as you like
now tack on the charges people will make you pay them to relinquish their plot to you instead of just demolishing it and bouncing
>>126916905
Look at that evil grin.
I'm fucking losing my mind.
what should I do guys? theres just too many activities in this game, i can't decide on anything.
Post your favorite weapon, it can be any weapon in the game. Including weapons that aren't obtainable or equipable.
Requesting mch and brd opener please? Also, is there any time I drop Wanders/Gauss?
>>126916430
rood
>>126916991
become my boyfriend~
>>126916705
wow rip
>>126917081
why would I want to do that? seems like you already have one with all the screenshots you post
>>126917029
this thing + obsidian version
>>126917081
Do you have a vagina irl?
Do you guys just sit on the benches all day?
>>126917178
Dude, thats a man.you can find his picture if you search and r9k archive.
>>126917029
>>126917081
Holy shit there's a demon to your right. Not talking about Sugi.
>>126917220
Pretty much.
>>126917081
You're always playing games how am I supposed to be your bf if you don't play with me?
where do I find everyone?
I'm in the starting area and it seems pretty empty
>>126917230
>r9k archive
I doubt anyone wants to go through that.
So, what's a good WAR opening rotation for say, Thordan EX? I've been trying some things out as of late but I'm not sure what's optimal.
>>126917305
did you do the tutorial quests first? the game puts you in a instanced world by yourself until you finish the first few quests.
also, what server?
>>126916008
Don't listen to >>126916119
I speak from experience when I tell you that it's a bad idea
soon
>>126916983
Seems like ol ghosty's just pretty happy to be there. I think you're just racist against spectres.
>>126916935
I guess people do that just to get more of their investment back. Someone said a few days ago you get 80% back? Someone who can afford a house is probably someone who is going to try to get interest on their investments, I think.
>>126917029
Can I pick more than one? Because I love pretty much all of the Allagan/High Allagan weapons.
>>126917421
>Someone said a few days ago you get 80% back?
if your house is demolished
i dont think if you manually choose to do so you get the money back.
>>126917412
That guy tried to hit on me.
>>126917029
Vintage Viking Sword
High Allagan Battleaxe
Adamantite Zweihander
>>126917029
This thing and it's variations.
Close seconds are the Titan axe and the Martial Greatsword.
>>126917487
Did it work?
>>126917458
That seems nutty but I suppose it's a way to soften the whole "loss of house" blow a person might go through if they return 100 years later and learn they lost their home.
>>126917268
>Pretty much.
Doesn't that get boring?
>>126917410
yeah, i finished the tutorial stuff and see players. I just see like 1 or 2 running around at any given time.
I'm on Sargatanas
Been grinding to earn 10k gil for a few hours now
>>126917574
No,. I wanted the VA queue to pop ASAP
>>126917421
I'm not racist...
>>126917029
Codex of the heavens.
>>126917029
>>126917648
Sargatanas is totally empty except for Idyllshire. Very raid only oriented server.
>>126917751
well what the fuck
everyone told me to go to balmung but it was closed
I want to socialize with people on non-ded servers
Where do I go?
>>126917683
Hey don't tell ME that. Tell the ghost you tried to short-sheet.
>>126917775
Cactuar. Is your next best bet if you cant xfer to Gilga or Baldung
>>126916203
There once was a pugilist kitty
Who idled for hours in the city
When she returned
All her clothes had been burned
Said the perverted black mage, "Tough titty."
>>126917813
So I need to start all over again or pay $18 to transfer?
Wow fuck this shitty MMO, I quit.
>>126917850
These kinds of posts make me so happy. Yoshi you dumb fucking cuck I wish you could see it.
>>126917029
I like the eso greatsword a lot, but pic related is probably my favorite
I don't have it though because tfw poor
>>126917850
Tutorial takes no time brah. Maybe try a different class or city to get more of an experience.
Cucktar is nice though. And the only way you're getting into Gilgameme or Balmang is through $18.
>>126917909
>reskinned broadswords
>>126917850
You should have done your research first before you joined a dead server
>>126917909
>that blade to hilt ratio
>everything about your character
stop
>>126917946
This one isn't gay though.
/xivg/ is there something visually like the Moonlight Greatsword?
>>126917029
Vintage Viking Sword, I prefer plain weapons.
I also love the Ramuh weapons, even though hey are a lot flashier than my usual tastes. I'd love to get my hands ont he bow but I can't find a party in DF or PF at all, kinda sucks.
>>126917986
you guys all told me to look at the pastebin instead of asking questions, so I did and saw Sargatanas had one of the bigger linkshells for /xivg/ so I joined it
Also why the fuck don't they show number of players on each server? Other MMOs have had that feature since the 1990s
>>126917836
And awaaaaaaay you go!
>>126918043
Wait, since when is that in Bloodborne?!
>>126917142
I dont have one.
>>126917178
no.
>>126917268
Demon fits sugi pretty much though.
>>126917289
Just ask me!
I play games with anyone who asks!
>>126918065
>other MMOs have had that feature since x
welcome to nip MMO design, try not to suicide
>>126918109
Since the DLC came out and gave us some of the coolest boss fights in the game.
>>126917029
ha cane easily, i was after that weapon for a long time
thordan cane and yagrush are close second
>>126918067
Limericks are too long. :(
>>126918141
what happened between u and shyv
>>126918065
>joining a /vg/ linkshell
that's where you went full retard.
you should have actually done your research on server population instead of judging who has the biggest meme chat room.
Navigating through areas as a new player in this game is a fuckin nightmare
>>126918205
>you should have actually done your research on server population
Because adding a counter that shows the number of players currently logged into a sever was too much work for the game devs, right?
>>126918141
/slap
Be nice Marsy, not in the thread.
>>126918245
when a server is full, it shows the server is locked. it should give you a hint that the server is pretty full.
or you can go on a server and do a player search of everyone 1-60 with every zone toggled and see how many people pop on

>or you can go on a server and do a player search of everyone 1-60 with every zone toggled and see how many people pop on
Wow, glad I need to make an account on every single server and sit through the 40 minute tutorial just to check these things
great game design
>>126918043
probably the gordian claymore considering you can even dye it
>>126918004
the ratio is not terrible, there's no mandatory standard anyway. If it was a bastard sword then it would be exaggerate, but dark knights never go one handed when attacking, so a grip built for two hands allows a much better manoeuvrability, especially considering that that sword is clearly intended for thrusting more than for slashing
The crossguard is retarded though
Also it's not my char

Pop vengeance on pull.
Do eye combo (unless there is a ninja, then just do maim). Do butchers combo (unless there is a ninja, then just sunder.)
Heavy swing, berserk, triple cleave rotation with a str pot. You will end up pacified as gaze goes off so no need to worry about deeps loss.
Don't use fracture after berserk ends though, it won't last and if you get enough stacks you can cleave twice more before he disappears.
>>126918340
it takes 1 minute to make a character on another server and you can do player search right away as you start playing
stop being a little bitch
>>126918109
DLC mang, first boss.
After Vicar join the League (new covenant) and you can summon an OP NPC, so long as you keep him alive you can kill the boss at level 32.
>every DF DRK thinks Grit and Blood Price mean they don't have to use cooldowns
Bunch of fucking shitters.

>>126918481

>>126918481
In an hour and 45. I think.
>>126918392
His point is that you shouldn't have to and you know he's right
>>126918483
But thats a 5 player game. why can't I party up with you?

>>126918569
>the $18 servers are the only one with any significant playerbase
nice game
>>126918548
If they openly showed how many people are on a server, people will just stick to mega servers like Gilgamesh or Balmung and never fill up the other servers.
There's already a way to see how many people are on your server by doing a quick level 1-60 player search, but he's complaining that he's too lazy and incompetent to do so and he should be spoonfed everything.
>>126918346
this thing? pretty good.
or do they have a 2h?
>>126918625

>tfw EU servers are all populated AND open
>tfw phoenix higher than ragnarok
feels good to be double master race
>>126918569
>level 50
You know who else was level 50? these guys.
>>126918654
how about you stop defending shitty game design?
>>126918625
>a signficant playerbase is one of two (three counting JP) with 30k+
>nevermind the 25k+ ones that unlock in the early morning

>>126918589
wow never thought marsy would be hungry for horsecock
>>126918569

>>126918707

Sugi is no demon
>>126918751
>tfw Phoenix is worse at clearing content than every other EU server except Lich
>>126917029
>>126918780
>people go to the populated servers in any mmo
>>shitty game design
>>126918780
how is it bad game design when the game lets you see every player online on the server already but you're too lazy to do so
>>126918654
I agree with you to an extent, but at this point, with the amount of players they have, they should just have 1 mega-server for every region. If EVE can do it with more concurrent players than XIV, you'd think SE could.
stop shill
idiots
>>126918884
>If X game can do it
Literally the story of this game's existence, this statement.
