How many fucking dialogue only quests are there in this piece of shit game...

How many fucking dialogue only quests are there in this piece of shit game? i've played for 2 hours and i've only gotten 1 (one) combat quest. This is honestly one of the most boring games of all time.

(You)

If you're an ADD-ridden, illiterate WoW-tard, stop playing right now and play something more suited to your uncultured tastes.

We do not talk about this game here

your thread will be deleted

>xiv having the gall to call anyone's taste out

We do, we just do it in stealth threads. There's one up 24/7.

>Posts a game for autists who enjoy mindless grinding

You are just as bad as the flip side of the coin.

shhhhh

let him figure it out for himself

>mindless grinding
This may have applied in vanilla. Clearly you haven't played the game. Nice try XIV baby

Why are video games not allowed on Sup Forums? This is the pinnacle of moderation incompetency.

Enjoy getting your thread deleted cunt. You know generals aren't allowed on Sup Forums.

I skipped all of the cutscenes. I don't even give a fuck.

what the fuck are you guys on about? I made this thread to ask if the quests in this piece of shit """mmo""" get better.

They don't, but you can skip the cutscenes at the very least.

I actually paid for the story completion for ARR and HW because I got so sick of it.

I picked up the free trial not too long ago. The initial quests do seem pretty heavy on the "walk across town, talk to people at service buildings, deliver parcels" angle. Useful for teaching people about the town services, no doubt, but it seemed like they drew it out a bit.

>abyssea
>not mindless grindan
in b4 "b-b-but muh ToAU/CoP golden age" XIfag tears as though it was any better

They do. Only the Main Story Quest has major cinematics because, you fuckin' guessed, it's quests of the main story. Class quests have some too, since they have their own stories, and some assorted side questlines like pic related.
It's only slow now because like said, the first two or three levels are more or less walking if you do the MSQ. Pick up some sidequests ya nerd

Shit, forgot my pic.

>it seemed like they drew it out a bit
oh yes they did

and they will continue doing so

Before this thread gets deleted any advice for materia on PLD. I herd Determination and tenacity were terrible.

Vit if you have str acessories and vice versa

It's a shit game that has the worst leveling experience out of any mmo ever played and the fanbase will defend it by calling anyone who dares critize it an ADHD-ridden imbecile who can't appreciate the story since gating content behind 170 hours of fetch quests and cut-scenes means the story is amazing.

this

yes you sound like someone who has defintely played the game thoroughly with an unbiased approach and is qualified to judge the game as whole, yes indeed, you can have my upvote

>Someone criticized the game
>quick, call him biased
Fuck off retard

game's a fucking meme, I realized that pretty quick and dropped it

only game with good quest design is runescape
everything else is just plain garbage, and not the kind where they tried hard and failed, but the kind where they put no effort into it and it shows

I agree. No other game has done quests as good as Runescape has. Rather have a few quests that have an impact on the story. give unique items and decent exp, and unlocks content than 1000 quests to fetch boar asses or deliver item from point A to B.

i'm doing a runescape quest right now and I fucking hate it

Which one?

The Eyes of Glouphrie
the puzzle is way too hard

...

>having trouble with eyes
Mourning's end p2 or elemental workshop 3 are the only quest puzzles anyone should ever have trouble with.

Holy fuck same reason I dropped the game. Why the fuck make shitty quests if they're as engaging as reading a manual anyway when you can just read the fucking manual.

fuck off?!?
i think my game is glitched and it's impossible

Go bitch on plebbit about it because that's the only place the mods will respond to actual complaints

Many of the cutscenes are pointlessly wordy when they are doing virtually nothing, because they have so many characters they have to constantly be like "let's formulate a plan, does everyone agree with the plan? But what about this! Oh, I have the solution! Yes, you are a smart cookie! Let's go!" Over and over

You kinda just have to learn when they start doing that and you can tune it all out

It's entirely possible considering runescape is a pile of spaghetti kept in shape by haphazardly place duct tape but it's also possible you're being a twat.

>Not enjoying strategy planning featuring smart, well-written charaters

too bad none of the characters are smart or well written

For all the spaghetti Runescape really doesn't have that many glitches but the glitches/oversights they do end up having tend to be game/economy ruining.

>none of the characters are smart or well written
this guy would like a word with you

>Who is Papa Potato
>Who is Gaius Van Fucking Balsar
>Raubahn
>HAURCHEFANT

Just bought the base game during the Steam sale. How many hours of content am I looking at without either of the expansions? Mostly bought it because I like the game, and want a little MMO fix here and there

a-are you serious?

>How many hours of content am I looking at without either of the expansions?
just for the story, probably 100 hours

If you were to do most pieces of side content available to you I'd say 500+, easily.

>If you're an ADD-ridden, illiterate WoW-tard, stop playing right now and play something more suited to your uncultured tastes.


TBS and cRPGs have way more writing yet they're infinitely more entertaining. The MSQ is just one big poorly written and poorly animated shitfest that's held together by fanfare. Also why are ARRfags calling anyone ADD-ridden when every quest is just follow to the quest marker.

He's fucking amazing. He's got style, he's got flair, he has panache.

He fools your ninja master only to double cross him again when it was all a ruse in the first place. He expects the villains to betray him, comes prepared and then dies anyway only to show up in the hour of need again to help you with your final fight.

>4 characters out of the dozens

Especially considering the most focused on characters, such as Lyse, Alphinaud, and Menfilia are all flat as fuck.

Now hold up, Alphinaud genuinely turns out to be a bro after being an obnoxious cunt for the entire main game and a good part of the first expansion.

He's even developing what some might call a sense of humour. And the bantz with his sis is great

Just like with wow where the only good character is Khadgar

ffxiv reddit is worse than the Sup Forums circlejerk. They get triggered when there is any valid criticism about the game like the early access fiasco and will praise SE for fucking up because it's so hard to recycle assets over and over.

You're all children at the end of the day since you're trying to force value into a video games story.

If i wanna have mindless fun, i'll play games.

If i wanna indulge into a cool/serious story, i'll read a book.

Story in games is actually pathetic and childish considering where gaming came from, Mario, Pong, Tetris etc.

Nice to know that you've never played any good vidya faggot.
Probably haven't read any good books either.

>tfw they ruined Thrall
>rather, they ruined/killed off every horde leader
>the alliance leaders do not exist

We were talking about Runescape lad.

books came from the same stupid, childish place.

idiots dont know their history or culture it seems

I'm 37 in 3 month.

I've played games almost since their inception, and no story in any game has been unforgettable.

I remember when the story in games was just "Ohh no the princess has been kidnapped, better go save her!" and that game lasted fucking days, the game never really forced the story down your throat at any time, unlike today when you're reminded of it in every fucking cutscene, story is the reason why your games are 8 hours long.

This is about runescape my dude, and jagex, who IIRC was voted as having some of the worst customer support.

> not already at SB raids

keep playing scrub!

Go play Policenauts

The first book was the bible, nice fucking meme retard, which also then spread to probably the highest form of literature ever conceived on earth.

>doesn't see the max level healers
lad

Again, you probably just have shit taste in vidya.
And books.
I don't play games that tell stories through cutscenes, I hold them to a much higher standard than that, stories can be told through gameplay and world interaction, the only reason they're not is developers are lazy passionalless greedy niggers.

This has to be a joke

you fell for weeb ruse, the game is complete shit

I'll give you Lies and Milfilia, but Alphinaud has a good bit of character progression to him. Also,
>Having to name every worthwhile character in an MMO's worth
I mean, I'll go ahead and say
>Iceheart
>HILDIBRAND
>Midgardsormr
>The entire Nanamo Assassination (Which, admittedly, they fuck up later on)
>60
>Max Level
Lad.

>60 max level

If you hadn't noticed I quit during HW you retard and from what I've seen in SB it's more of the same bullshit. You cunts with your "LMAO TRUE GAME IS THE HIGHEST DIFFICULTY OF RAIDS" while creaming over and defending the trash that is the leveling experience.

>Tfw don't care about raid difficulty
>Tfw just wanna fucking fight Exdeath

I actually joined because I heard crafting was its own thing and fun. Boy was I fucking lied to so I figured I might as well try the combat out. Quit the same month I joined after getting these stats Did some raids but it was nothing new. Gold Saucer was fun but pretty dead and definitely untapped potential. It really needs more social things that aren't tied to combat because you know your game is generic shit when 80% of the playerbase is afking by the marketboard like every other mmo that has an auctionhouse.

> ironically posts pic of goal posts being literally moved to poopsock his shitty argument
>WAAAH! XIV SUCKS SO BAD I EVEN BOUGHT THE FIRST EXPANSION

Just cave in and buy SB faggot. Your posts aren't helping your argument because you showed that you enjoy the game enough to keep playing it. :^)

I don't know why y'all don't like PVP for tomes.

Just to be clear, you know this is an mmo? Mmos never had a nice story or character design. I even had to google to make sure I was thinking of the right final fantasy. Why is there a thread about this? I'm so confused.

>Some
They definitely have the worst customer support and the most mods. Mods have leaked updates to their friends to profit billions of gold and favorite streamers that get their items replaced after disconnected from the server. (When people found out they raged and they don't do this anymore.) There's also the fact that if you "harass" a female streamer you can get banned as what happened with ModMatk and Emily. Here's a plebbit post explaining what happened.

Guy got banned because the mods went through his post history years back and into OTHER accounts of his, just to find something they can pin on him to justify the ban. It's actually why I refuse to play Runescape now. After the Gowers left it went to shit with current management and now the same Modmatk said that Runescape is a political platform to push views they agree with starting with the gay pride event they had. Only reason Runescape is alive is because of the dedicated fanbase and at this rate it won't survive much longer.

You really need to work on that bait because you're not making sense. It's like I'm on Sup Forums due to the retard logic you used.

ARR is dogshit, don't try to defend that trash
Heavensward is pretty good tho
Stormblood is a bit better than ARR but still shit

>highest form of literature
>fiction
LOL

You can't comprehend that you're argument falls flat because you dislike a game so much that you kept paying monthly and bought the expansion?

Are you an autistic masochist?

If you didn't like the game at ARR, then why keep playing? What makes you think a successful MMO is going to do a 180 when the formula is working?

The only time the game did a 180 was 1.0 to 2.0 because 1.0 was horrendous.

>The only time the game did a 180 was 1.0 to 2.0 because 1.0 was horrendous.
I want this meme to end 1.2 was when 1.0 became fucking great and a true sucessor to X
I'll take that over a soulless wow clone anydayI

LMFAO!!! You can't be serious?! I played XI for 9 years and started playing XIV at 1.23. It was the worst mmo I've ever played!

It was so awful that SE didn't charge a monthly fee during 1.0 and could barely get anyone to play that shit!

How can you shit on ARR and its expansions and praise anything 1.0 related besides the graphics?!

Jesus Christ! I hope this is shitty bait!

>Plebbit spacing

1.0 had better writing and cutscenes than ARR. 1.0 had horrendous level design, combat, pacing, etc.

1.23 was still garbage, no amount of patches could fix the really crappy grind and jobs being useless in certain content because "lol elemental resistance"

>plebbit meme

Just wow dude. Were you one of those 1.0 fags that wanted to sue SE for changing the game?!

Go play on the 1.0 private server if you hate XIV so much. That is of course if the admin has it up and running yet because you have clearly run out of arguments.

Enjoy!

>seigan requires using third eye and then taking damage to be usable
>only slightly, almost nothing at all better than shinten
What is the point of this skill? I feel like I'm missing something.

DESU I didn't pay attention to story in ARR
HW I only payed attention to certain ones
Stormblood I read all
It gets better
Class/Job quest have the best story

>How many fucking dialogue only quests are there in this piece of shit game?

Ahahahaha
AHAHAHAHAHA

Jesus Christ why did autocorrect change "DESU" to that

I swear to god this god damn image board...

>being THIS new

bait?

Because you're a filthy newfag.

I dont understand, why I am attracted to the most impure being in the entire realm that is Yotsuyu
why do I want to befriend her, visit the gold saucer together and buy her ice-cream
I reaally love the defeat means friendship trope i guess

Not even bait I swear
Been a while since I've been on here when the hell did these changes happen?

like 4 years ago

the story is really boring though

Jesus really?
Guess I am a newfag again

Cause you want to mend broken things like me

please
