>Y: To your point, because we were able to expand for the areas in Heavensward we weren’t like cramped in terms of placing our Beast tribes and different sort of content for that. And Aquapolis as well, the position of the treasure chest wasn’t in such a cramped area and even like the Hunt it feels like we were able to make it so it’s more comfortable to play as well. We feel that we’ve made the adjustments that work in favor in having more spread out area.
>Matt Hilton: I think your question just boils down to there’s no open world content.
>R: Yes, that’s a big part of the question.
>Y: We understand the demand for it. But we’re not Final Fantasy XI (room laughs) so we don’t have intentions of making it. I understand personally, because I grew up playing that style of game. But when it boils down to where a whole lot of people that desire that kind of content, that’s not the case. Just imagine back in the 11 days, when you were trying to gather a party how long did it take to gather your party? But nowadays you wait 20 minutes on a Duty Finder, and people are complaining. Would a whole bunch of people desire content where you would go out of the way to enter into the field to feed a particular monster to open and trigger the content, and go through all that hassle it might not be the case. And also if we were to implement it as requested, I’m sure there’ll be backlash like “oh it’s too much of a hassle” or “too much of a pain”. But I totally understand your sentiment, it just might be the minority.

>he btfo'd xi cucks yet again
I wish the FFXIfags would understand that their area of mmo is dead and not profitable anymore.
Incoming XI fag crying about their dead timesink and muh nostalgia
Will the old cities in stormblood be one zone? (should be possible now that they drop ps3) Will the new zones be larger than the shitty small arr zones?
...
Gotta hand it to SE but by making emergency missions drop 280 and actually be punishing if you wipe, they really got people to respect the content.
Like when adds spawn in there people hop on them fast as shit since they're terrified of wiping and losing their shot at a 280. Who'd have thought that the way to get dps to stop scumbagging was to have actual consequences for failure.
without XI his game wouldn't have even existed :^)
>punishing
Explain. Haven't touched the new diadem.
...
There's hope:
>Q: Actual Stormblood content question for you (crowd cheers) Having been working on Stormblood for so long, is there a particular piece of content in it that you think we as players might miss or overlook that you are proud of and want us to notice?
>A: In terms of playable content, we did our best so that players will be able to go through and not miss anything… are there people in the audience that like to climb on things when you’re in the field? In Kugane, you’ll be able to climb to pretty high places, so if you wanted to explore in that way I would encourage you to do that. It’s very tricky though so you might see people falling off, don’t be scared.

The mobs in the emergency mission zone dont deaggro on a wipe and will keep spawnkilling anyone that teleports back in after rezzing. And the whole thing is timed.
Makes wipes very hard to recover from, and shit hurts in there if you dont do mechanics properly.
But will Stormblood give DRK the rework it needs?
Stormblood will delete drk and make pld great again.

I agree, baby yeah!
This is the second worst meme.

Worst meme but best boy.
I unironically enjoy Ilberd-posting.
what's wrong with open world content and why did he just deflect the question by saying "we're not FFXI xD"
the world in FFXIV has no reason to exist outside of like 2 niche applications that everyone complains about (FATEs and timed resource nodes)
so they intended to make this a lobby MMO but fucked up somehow and made whole zones?
What a nice fellow.
It's literally quoted in the OP:
> And also if we were to implement it as requested, I’m sure there’ll be backlash like “oh it’s too much of a hassle” or “too much of a pain”. But I totally understand your sentiment, it just might be the minority.
Open world content just isn't what the average XIV player will actually take part in, no matter how much they actually ask for it on the forums or on Reddit or at panels.
No open world content would be fine if the instanced content wasn't boring and easy.
They could at least give us locations to explore. Nothing related to content, just stuff to see for world building.
newbie here, enjoying the game so far
one issue though
why are there so many fucking cutscenes
>why are there so many fucking cutscenes
It's Final Fantasy, you tard.
>Open world content just isn't what the average XIV player will actually take part in
even though diadem is essentially a giant open-world zone with a special event in it and that's all anyone is doing right now
even though everyone fucking did hunts
do they even know who their average player is or do they just write it off as being the people who buy cash shop items as an excuse to not actually put content into the game except for shit like Lords of Verminion and $7 emotes
No one likes Diadem. Most people that go in there complete the mission for 10 lockboxes then either leaves and requeues, or AFKs until the emergency mission spawns.
Hunts hardly count as open world content, the majority of people sit in their gardens until they get a linkshell message telling them a hunt is up.
>nobody actually does these things, they just do them
Yes, no one does the open world portions of diadem/hunts. They follow the objective in diadem, and make no effort to spawn hunts themselves.
>we're not a good game (drones laugh)
Pathetic.
>no shota miqo'te
>implying T'kebbe isn't actually a boy
>Just imagine back in the 11 days, when you were trying to gather a party how long did it take to gather your party? But nowadays you wait 20 minutes on a Duty Finder, and people are complaining.
Glad I saved this post, comes in handy.
T'kebbe is a girl and Khloe is the boy.
Its WHY people do them. For Christ's sake this is a whole fucking genre based around lulling you into doing dull chores with a carrot on a stick
/thread
But FF15 was my first and it had barely any cutscenes.
You couldn't be more wrong. T'kebbe is the cute girly boy and Khloe is a girl but she's trying to be tough and masculine enough to be T'kebbe's "boy"friend.
It fucking sucked.
Good riddance.
Also the one writed that never played an old mmo.
>Also the one writed that never played an old mmo.
Fuck you, you never played an old MMO if you think it's wrong.
Pre-2000 or bog off.
...
Just wait until the next generation hits. The only reason open world is bad at the moment is because the current generation, Millenials are lazy little shits and entitle as fuck. You can thank the libcuck indoctrination for creating a lazy society and generation.
Just wait until the end of the MSQ of ARR. There's literally an hour of cutscenes chained together
It was fucking awful.
Especially those old gook mmo like lineage.
Get out of here.
What's the next gen called? Gen Z?
Yea and they're a lot more conservative than the last generation.
They were fucking great.
Committing racial genocide in Tibia was great and so was exploring new lands not knowing what was around the corner.
Away with you, vile urchin.
It just sound you are too fucking old and jaded.
You only remember the goods parts like all the old people.
You have to take the good and the bad together, didnt you ever watch the Matrix do you think Leonardo DiCaprio would lie to me? You fucking son of the basterd bich

>It's a "useless whm c@whore queues for pvp and does fucking nothing but spam cure"episode
I can't take PotD anymore but the queue times are killing me.
I seem to be having ridiculous luck with emergency missions, done like 15 diadems and seen it 9 times - never seen a double spawn within the same duty timer though.
How are queues on the popular servers?
Zodiark getting them just fucks my brain out

>tell someone they are bad for not holding hate in a lvl 60 dungeon which resulted in the healer dying
>"not everyone is as experienced as you!"
Why is nearly every player so crippling unable to accept when they are wrong? If you don't know the fundamentals of tanking(merely holding hate) at lvl 60, you might as well just admit you have brain damage.
Why so many shitters play as a sch?
They probably leveled SMN first and just did the SCH class quests to "learn" the job.
The same as on dead servers because queues are data center-wide, not serverwide.
It's a mystery.
...
always a SCH, I never see AST's bitch about it.
mogtalk.org
behold, Yoshida has been introduced to the idea of whatever the fuck you people call mythic achievements in WoW (I never played it for more than a few hours)
Mythic is a just proper raid with proper mechanics, heroic and normal are easy raids that don't have half of mechanics
Titan hard(not extreme) is actually something close to the mythic bosses(of course before trial was nerfed and ovegear in general)
>tell shitter "no foe requiems" BRD to stop going afk mid dungeon(he does this constantly)
>turns out he queue'd with his two orbiters and they inevitably kick me at the end of the dungeon after claiming im a shitter
ayy
I'll never understand it, either, as someone who mains AST/SCH.
Only healing on healers is fucking boring. Most of the time because the game is piss easy you will be standing around doing absolutely nothing while you wait for someone to lose health. It's just not interactive.
It's why I laughed at other healers who bitched at me when I threw a light farming part for A1S on the PF and didn't allow room for any healers other than myself. Every time I allowed another healer into the party, they would stand around with their fingers shoved up their butt while the rest of the party did all of the work. It was fucking bullshit.
DPS or leave. Nobody is here to carry your sorry ass through encounters because you want to be lazy.
>Get enough hate to hold the mobs
>Stop dpsing
>Tank, why are you not dpsing?
>I'm here to tank not do damage
Yeah Yoshi, we get it, the open world in this game is trash, so why do you keep making more of it instead of just turning the game into PSO so everyone can just idle in a hub, giving you more resources to make the actual content this game is supposedly good at.
I used to heal sometimes in WoW, and it was boring as shit. I'd just stand around half the time waiting for someone's bar to go down a bit to heal it back up, at least in this game I can do some dps between whack a mole healing health bars.
After liberating Ala Migho and Doma and destroying the rest of the Garleans, where would the game go from there? A full on invasion from Ivalice?
There's still the problem of the Ascians, and I'm sure SE will conjure up some other bullshit problems from other realms starting shit in our universe, like with the Warriors of Darkness.
Anyway we probably have a while to go before any of that, considering about 50% of the map is still completely hidden. I would wager it'll be probably up until 6.0 that we get the expansion that deals with the Garleans and after that the Ascians.
Deep down Yoshi knows XIV will never give users the same experience as Final Fantasy XI.
The original XIV was going to be like XI until a shit load of normalfags started complaining about the game mechanics.
Enjoy your casual fetch quests and combo spamming.
>tanking gubal hard lore farm

>leave dungeon, SMN switches to SCH, we get another DPS and continue our runs
the cunt had plenty of time to fix me up thanks to regens and tank CDs, glad he left
after he quit our runs were a lot faster and smoother too, turned out he was bad at healing as well as being stubborn about DPS
XIV is like a very good looking girl, but no one wants to be with her because she has no character. Besides that, everyone knows she is doing it for the money and probably has multiple STDs.
>plenty of time to fix me up
oof, brainfart. plenty of time to hit things, rather
that's not how you asked me you dipshit, next time you should try to be more polite
It's still better than XI's and 1.0's gameplay, which is why XI isn't as popular and 1.0 failed.

PLEASE KEEP PLAYING MY GAME
Yeah, what a shock that XI's 20 year old gameplay isn't on the same level as XIV's
Really makes my thinker tinker
are you implying XI's story was good?
When's the next patch
I have to play on Aether, which world's are the least cancer
All of XI's stories were good.
Mycandiadingdong and the NEW world.
we clearly didn't play the same game
I just saw a femhighlander with a small chest.
I did not know this was possible!
