Looking for games to get into while I’m in my corona bunker

I keep seeing people say they're going to do some update to make the early game better and you should wait for that before starting it, has that happened yet?

nope, 2 months or so

3-4 months away

want to play ff14 but dont want to read the shitty flowery translation they gave it

The translation is fine, stop being an EOP if you hate english that much

personally XIV is the best game I've ever played, it's not flawless but the game is engaging and the community is great.

and if you got a lot of free time you can't go wrong with FFXIV the main story with the expansions and essential side content will run you a good 250+ hours the game is cheap and you probably only have to be subbed for 2 additional months to get through Shadowbringers.

you can play in in Japanese, French or German

Why does nobody ever talk about the gameplay or combat when recommending the game? Even the trailers usually cut before characters fight anything. And the few times combat is shown they stand completely still.

As far as a 'coronabunker' game FFXIV is a pretty strong time sink, yes.
Especially if you are new from level 1

Yeah, if you aren’t going outside for a long time then now is the best time to play it really. Just have something else to play when you experience fatigue because it’s a long ride to get through the MSQ.

Will I miss any essential story if I pay to skip straight to Heavensward or beyond? I hear ARR is a huge slog so if each expansion is a self contained plot then I'll just gloss over it.

It's a continuous storyline but you can watch previous cutscenes at inns and you'll probably pick up on things eventually

They're gonna cut out the fetch quests from ARR in the next major patch, 3 months or so from now.

Either wait until then, or play the game through now without skipping.

It's all one continuous story, all three expansions pay off lots of long running story threads from ARR and even from the original 1.0 release of the game, which is still canon and relevant but has to be looked up through youtube videos.

>got 100k crafting points in one day
Experts are not that hard.

Watch voiced cutscenes, skip everything else and you'll be fine.
The shittiest part of the game is inbetween post ARR and pre HW, there's around 100 quests of talk to x/y/z.

Terrible advice. Tons of critical cutscenes are not voiced, for example all the ones that show what's going on in far away places and set up plotlines for later expansions.

You are far beyound average

The only bad part about post-ARR is that it doesn't filter more of you filthy plebeians.

for me it is this starting from heavenward or return to wow from 8.1

It's pretty good.

I have/had fun. Its slower then other MMORPG; but it also have a huge singeplayer campaign. You can play till 35 for free while testing most classes. The community is nice and helpful. I havent played for 1-2 month, because im saving money for a new gpu, but i heard that the newest update has some good content

literally me

I know people who play like this. They act like they know the lore but ask questions like
"Who's Bahamut?"

Final Fantasy XIV is a dogshit MMO and dogshit video game with absolutely zero challenge, interesting characters, interesting stories, or interesting locations.

It is purely for mindless weeaboo spergs who suck up anything with FF in the title. I say this as a person who loves FF and even loved FFXV and FFXIII.

XIV is trash.

For context, I play WOW Classic despite having zero nostalgia for WOW and still think it's the best MMO I've played since Guild Wars.

Why is Hien the best and sexiest male npc in the game?

No get a good game

Classic WOW, not WOW.
I'm only level 15 and loving it.

wow classic is undoubtedly a better game than xiv in all aspects ESPECIALLY all aspects of an mmo

>> Searching a group for 4 Hours
>> Running the Same dungeon over and over for 6 hours per day
and what is the difference in xiv...?

Explain how we're wrong. XIV combat has zero nuance or challenge

Because the 1 button rotations of classic wow is somehow challenging?
Because people who cleared molten core ungeared and underleveled somehow make it challenging?

You have positional considerations in Classic WOW whereas FFXIV is just mindless rotations.

I play Classic WOW solo and constantly have to be tactical with pulling and coordinating enemies

>unique gearing options
>no mandatory single player slog for the first 50 hours
>a real, meaningful world with limited resources that you have to contend for
>community interaction is central to gameplay at all stages

just proved you have literally never played the game

Sorry mindless weeaboo

>actual character building options and customization
And how many of them are actually good or worth using?
>unique gearing options
Point taken
>a real, meaningful world with limited resources that you have to contend for
How is fighting against bots fun?
>community interaction is central to gameplay at all stages
I guess sitting down and spamming chat for looking for a group in front of a dungeon is fun...?
>no constant 200ms latency
So now that you run out of 2.5GCD it's your now shit to says that the game is "slow"?

>How is fighting against bots fun?
In FFXIV you are unstoppable and nothing can kill you.
Anything in WOW can kill a solo player

Eureka sound perfect for you then I guess

>Anything in WOW can kill a solo player
The game is fucking live, you can't lie about this shit anymore. Anybody even halfway geared isn't going to die unless they pull like five elites at once, and even then some classes can actually do it anyway.

WITNESS

>And how many of them are actually good or worth using?
atleast 2 per class with some classes having upwards of 5 or 6 viable talent sets for different types of content with different thresholds of gear

>How is fighting against bots fun?
this is why pvp servers are the only way to play classic wow, the fight for resources has to be interactive for it to be interesting

>I guess sitting down and spamming chat for looking for a group in front of a dungeon is fun...?
more fun than sitting in a random queue and getting matched with people you never talk to and will probably never see again, its an mmo the social aspect should be integral

>So now that you run out of 2.5GCD it's your now shit to says that the game is "slow"?
im not that other poster claiming classic wow combat has any sort of depth or challenge, it doesnt, but mmorpg combat doesnt need that to be good
rpg combat should be 90% about the preparations and modifications you make to your character before combat starts and 10% about actually playing the combat out

unrelated to all this is how it just feels like shit to do anything in ffxiv because the entire game controls like you're underwater compared to the responsiveness of wow

Well I'm talking about Classic where my level 15 Night Elf on Darkshore dies when any more than 2 enemies are by me

I've been checking for sales weekly for months on it and haven't gotten one. WHEN WILL IT GO ON SALE?

Started it a while ago and so far the story isn't that great after 30 hours and Level 39. When does the story get more interesting?

when you enter the snowy city

The people saying Heavensward are good are only half right.

The main campaign of Heavensward is great. But then you have a huge slog of melodramatic, badly written, filler-ed out post-HW quests.

Just the same as post-ARR.

The game never really gets good and always has badly made, cheap cutscenes that waste your time.

Should have waited for the ARR quest squish. Generally it doesn't get good till you start the expansions.

alright retards we got a thread started no need to falseflag anymore just post xiv
