    Original FFXIV is a more interesting game than WoW Classic

    I thought about it for awhile, and I think in terms of what there is actual value in engaging with in the year 2019, FFXIV 1.0 is far, far, far above WoW Classic

    Now, I might also argue that neither of them, in this day and age, are good.

    now that's a hot take

    The cross-classing stuff was pretty robust back then. So in that sense...

    Other parts were "interesting times" interesting. Everything to do with crafting/gathering was an obsfucated mess of hidden mechanics.

    Original FFXIV had largely no load times between zones

    So for example, instead of Limsa Lominsa being broken up into the upper level, the lower level, and then like the front or whatever

    It was just one huge zone, and then leaving the city also was unbroken

    It's stuff like that which made it impossible to run on a PS3

    the trade-off was having loading tunnels

    instead of a quick fade out, fade in you had to schlep down an empty hallway

    no thanks!

    FF14 1.0 was unbelievable. I remember I not only managed to get to Ul'dah after starting at Limsa, but successfully made a weapon that was better than the starting weapon.
    These were actually feats at the time. As far as clearing actual content goes, there was no content to clear.

    They introduced content toward the end of 1.0

    There was even an Ifrit fight!

    It's gonna feel real bad to level Gunbreaker to cap, get that sweet AF armor, and then replace the coat with generic looking tank armor. I know glamors are a thing but it's still going to sting for a moment.

    The fact that there is a Final Fantasy game/story that people can no longer legally play through is troubling to me, as someone who values the preservation of art and thinks the idea of a game just going away forever is a big issue we should actually be trying to solve.

    Eventually 11 and this version of 14 are going to be done, too. Which means we will eventually arrive at a point where one of the most important video game series that ever existed will straight-up have two missing entries, three if you count the OG 14.

    Looks like Amazon has another mount DLC offer, this time for a black fat chocobo mount.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/c19her/new_amazon_promotion/

    Buy any game, that isn't a pre-order (FFXIV timecards work) and that costs at least $19.99, and get the mount.

    Offer is good till July 1st.

    I don't see why it wouldn't. You should see a message saying that your purchase qualifies for the promotion when you go to buy it just to make sure.

    i feel bad for the poor fat chocobos, being teased with that food. i hope canonically every single person gives it to them when they get to their destination even if they're like, zenos or something.

    And I see this the day after I place my Samurai Shodown preorder at Gamestop. However, I'm not sure if I'm all that interested in that particular mount, since I already have one fat chocobo mount anyway. The nimbus cloud mount is great and is what I use for nearly everything these days, outside of the FFXV car for ferrying party members.

    met my first frost mage

    they were a sprout in stone vigil and i tried to explain the basics of BLM to them

    was met with "this is just the way i like to play the spec, everyone has their own strategy so please respect that!" "if i run into trouble my FC will let me know!"

    i probably never would have noticed if i hadn't given them a single target balance, then saw they were standing about 20 yards away from the enemies chain casting blizzard 2

    AST is a great job to get you to hate everyone in your party

    I mean, Frost mage is legit if you need to limit your DPS for some reason. (Hi ARR EX primals).

    His FC should probably let him know, though.

    100% guarantee this person is a refugee from WoW, where Mage has long since been segregated to only ever use one of their three historic element types. The idea of a Mage that utilizes the entire flavor of their class must be a singularly foreign concept.

    Remembering a RDM in Sohm Al, I think, who spent the whole dungeon doing nothing but casting Jolt over and over.

    We asked them what they were doing and they said "fuck off I'll learn the class when I hit 70".

    I don’t understand why people wouldn’t try playing the class properly if only to alleviate boredom.

    If that's gonna be their attitude just buy a job boost.

    Are they upping the boost level when shb comes out?




    I got RDM to 70, and I feel like verflare/verholy kinda hit that point for me where I've got too many abilities to make my skillbar shortcuts comfortable.
