What's the main selling point?
pedophilia
story and social
ARR = 3/10 (ITS SHIT BUT BEAR WITH IT)
Heavensward = 9/10
Stormblood = 7/10
Shadowbringers 10/10
just chill and follow the story, and if u want join a group of ppl and socialize.
be careful though, there are plenty of weebs.
Just started playing and and the lack of voice acting is pretty questionable
There IS voice acting, but it is only in the majorly important cutscenes. You may want to wait until later this summer for the 5.3 release because the initial ARR story quests is being trimmed down. It is long and boring as fuck.
MCH, SAM or RDM?
Thaumaturge
I don't think I am good enough to play a job where I am rooted most of the time.
its mainly at the start, ARR has nearly no voice acting but it gets more and more voiced lines as you go on
shadowbringers had around 80% voice acting for the main story line.
Thought you were asking me what class i'm playing. nvm
beautiful brown bunny butt
MCH if u wanna use guns
SAM if u wanna do all the damage
RDM if u wanna do rotations and do backflips
It's a solid game overall and after the initial content has the best singleplayer experience/story out there, but for most of the people I know it's really that it's the only MMO out there that looks nice and has attractive characters but isn't a Chinese pay to win microtransaction nightmare.
The whole game before the first expansion is pretty mediocre. It really picks up once you get to HS.
OK so let me tell you the truth that those brainless MMO faggots aren’t giving you.
FFXIV never gets a good story. It will always have unvoiced cutscenes with terrible music that waste your time.
I’m 100’s of hours in and playing Stormblood right now, and I’m still getting these goddamn emote cutscenes. People call this the best fucking Final Fantasy when its story and presentation is worse than fucking XIII. At least in XIII I never felt they were half assing it, they were full assing something retarded.
XIV is for brainless NEET turdmuffins
Plus I don't like the fact that the world is heavily instanced and feels disconnected. Uldah and it's surroundings are boring. No idea the fuck did i expect from the desert but nonetheless.
Stormblood is universally considered pretty mediocre.
>What's the main selling point?
The game is very accommodating if you're a transwoman and transitioning and are into anime.
The game is practically designed for people with mental illness, so if you have social anxiety, general anxiety, depression, addictions, think you're girl, schizophrenia ect.the game is perfect for you.
I'm not even joking
Isn't this literally what Yas Forums itself was founded on?
Tell me there are zero unvoiced cutscenes in Shadowbringers.
- Solid experience as a longer equivalent of a singleplayer RPG.
- Looks good.
- The only way to get a classic FF storyline and aesthetics paired with modern graphics.
- Monetization system that is supposed to fleece clients, instead of flaying them.
I think there might be but who cares?
People who are talking about the quality of the story
Why does this game make Yas Forums so mad?
I'm genuinely asking.
Starting hours weren't really that different from any mmos i've played.
Voice acting has nothing to do with the quality of writing.
>FFXIV never gets a good story
You need to shut the fuck up and get through Shadowbringers, and then go back to Heavenward you useless sack of shit.
When all of the non voiced cutscenes have terrible expository writing then yes it does
Explain what changes in the presentation of the story through cutscenes and content in Shadowbringers. Not what the story is. Explain what the change in storytelling is
If you want a change in the delivery then stop skipping cutscenes
I'm playing it right now, but honestly, I can't put my finger on it. I feel like it's a pretty good MMO, the characters in the story are quite likeable and it tugs your emotional strings every now and then. It starts off pretty slowly, I skipped most of the story until I was like lvl 35. It's the same gameplaywise. I also enjoy the armor design so I'm fun grinding items for looks and making outfits. I'm a WoW refugee though and I've been playing pretty much my entire life so I probably don't noice half the flaws a newcomer might see. I think it's a solid game though, definitely worth checking out since the free play period is quite generous.
What the fuck are you talking about, I haven’t skipped a single cutscene retard.
Not really, that sounds like a you problem. Almost every cutscene is voices except a few and if that completely ruins a good story because of a pet peeve then that is on you.
it's fun, which can't be said for 90% of the other MMOs that came out in the last decade
The girls in this game make me coom
tranny culture surrounding a game that is actually surprisingly captivating at it's peak moments, and people just cannot wrap their heads around it.
>uncle mhigger clearly looking at Fray
Explain this.
I have a question for you, is it possible for you to enjoy a game with no voice acting?
Then you'd know there are plenty of voiced cutscenes that are extremely poignant you dipshit.
>muh unvoiced cutscenes
The main selling point is that it's the best singleplayer Final Fantasy of the past ten years.
The game is fine as long as you pretend you're the only person in it. The community is universally awful, the world is split up into tiny instanced zones (this gets marginally better in the expansions) and the itemization is generally nonexistent.
Even if he is a retard, you are a bigger one wojaknigger.
So 5.3 is gonna introduce flying in old zones?
>except a few
It’s fucking half of the game
I’ve played FFIV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX so yes.
The difference is those are well written games in every scene.
They’re half or less than half of the game.
I have anxiety issues and hadn't noticed any relation but maybe you've got a point. FF does make it relatively easy to get through the game without a lot of the forced socialization other games require.
Yes.
It’s just not the best single player FF though, it’s way too fillered up.
XIII-2 and XV are better single player games.
anime dess-up. This game is pure tranny/fagbait
>The difference is those are well written games in every scene.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
the soundtrack and nostalgia for final fantasy
>I’ve played FFIV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX so yes.
The difference is those are well written games in every scene.
maybe if you're 12
You're basically buying a single-player JRPG with a decent story that other retards fund for you. If you're smart about it, by using the free logins periods, you can do all story content and side stuff like alliance raids and trials and only ever pay for the expansions.
If you don’t like FF games then stop playing an FF impostor game.
never played it, but can i roll a tank and just do dungeons 24/7?
alongside the main story, sure.
Yes, after you have unlocked them that is.
I think the worst part about FFXIV is it never becomes fun to play. Skills aren’t satisfying and have no variety in builds or anything.
