Prove me wrong
FFXIV
But 1.0 is genuinely awful. Its the perfect argument to why going for peak graphics isn't the best thing to prioritize for a game, especially an MMO
Also rr is garabage compared to heavensward. Being old doesn’t make you automatically have more “soul”
The only 'soul' FFXIV 1.0 had was my soul leaving my body when I tried to play it
1.0 :Soulful
ARR: Soulless WoW clone.
Swap 1.0 with 5.0 and 2.0 with 3.0 and it's correct
Oh yes a billion poligons just for a flower pot that was copied and pasted on the entire map causing screen freezing. And what about that starting cutscene that played like a PowerPoint prototype? That's peak soul right there.
>soullessest
>not soulleast
How can I take anything you say seriously?
Also Heavensward a best.
Lads I'm a fucking dps whore.
Which class will satiate my need to be on top.
But while also being fun?
SAM and Black Mage are not options.
Actually, it isn't even about DPS, I want to be USEFUL. Does Dancer satisfy this?
3.0 > 5.0 > 2.0 > 1.0 > 4.0
>player is using an UWU weapon glam despite the rest of their gear being neo-ishgard or crystarium
>check their fflogs and they have greens on e5 and e6 -- didnt even clear the tier
>no parse uploaded for UWU
do these people have no shame? this shit is so easy to check
AST.
>1.0 > 4.0
looking for primalfriends to play with! we could do run extreme trials, savage raids or other cool stuff together!
>Darkness is just purple light
What did they mean by this
>Primal
Tranny DC
Red Mage for you.
This actually made me mad by how wrong it is
youre a tranny. im a tranny. theres a tranny behind you right now
>fun
>dps whore
I mean if you barred out BLM, just go SMN. Ninja and Dragoon also come to mine but they wont do any damage close to what Black Mage and Samurai does, and Dragoon starts out incredibly boring too.
ARR is legit horrible. It’s like handing over a pound of flesh to gain access to pure kino land. Everything after it is so good.
wrong board
Hell no, the ranged physicals are a joke. The funnest Ranged Physical is Machinist but this is out of virtue of smashing buttons repeatedly and seeing numbers fly. Red Mage might be your thing.
I can already tell no one likes to play with you. stop having them rent free in your head and seek help
Imagine getting filtered by ARR though
You got me, I'm a bitter mch on behemoth.
What do you guys do to have fun?
Someone give me a guide on RDM please!
Are they good?
>RDM
Tranny job
I usually play with some friends but they unsubbed cause they are working again. So far I'm enjoying leveling my crafters and doing their quests. Aside that I do my e5-7s clears and roulettes when I have the time.
you really dont need a guide,its a very easy class when you play around with it. they are very useful when progging. it can be abit mind numbing though after playing it for hours at a time though.
Does less damage than Summon and Black Mage but has a more open ended gameplay and rotation, can also revive in a pinch. Paper thin though.
revisionist opinion
HW > ShB > SB > ARR > 1.0
press jolt then press ver aero or ver thunder, if you get a verstone or verfire proc then use that instead of jolt, sword combo at 80/80 meter
1 and 2.0 were dogshit, 3.0 was consistently the best and 5.0 would be the best if 5.1 and .2 were on the same level of quality as 5.0 and .3.
What's the most middle ground DPS?
Not faceroll like MCH, but not boring like RDM?
While also being good and meta.
probably DRG
1.0 was not a flop, I was there all the time, every single day, there were plenty of players having fun, it was fantastic to have all continents playing together, JP EU America Oceania, it was so exotic, and beat XI scores.
It had its flaws, like every single game of this genre at their release.
SE made a shit tons of money selling the game.
They managed to made pseudo gaming journalists and self proclaimed internet games experts to believe whatever they wanted to believe after their super serious 4 hours test while never going back to actually facts checking.
SE didn’t bother contradicting them, which was weird from the point of view of the players actually playing and enjoying the game, but rather SE caressed and pet all those pseudo journalists and self proclaimed game experts by never gainsaying them, which proved to be the right strategy for what they had in plan next.
Truth is, Tanaka was a visionary, he built a high graphical quality game, prepared it for the coming decade by having high polygon count, high res model and textures, a real open world with no loading screens, not even to enter cities, not even inside the cities, using brand new modern techniques where data was streamed from the HDD while you were passing in specific areas without you noticing anything, giving you an unimaginable sense of immersion, it was a whole world, not a collection of zones, everything was truly connected, not cheated with spacial ellipses.
All tier 3 cutscenes were entirely made from motion capture, not crappy emotes, and they had all a cinematographer making inspired and talented framing, camera movements and editing. (the scenes you see with mocap in 2.x were made from stealing mocap of 1.0 scenes that had nothing to do with the 2.0 ones)
Uematsu music was the best of his long FF career, it was his fucking return, first time he made all tracks since FFIX, a master piece, Soken himself knows more than anyone else how far he is from his master.
The melee classes sans Samurai, so Ninja, Monk and Dragoon. Monk is a bit lagging though and is too much of a variable given he has positionals.
Tanaka had boundaries everywhere for the lore, the story, the gear, the races, the genders, etc. because he knew that boundaries force you to work with them, inside them, to make something consistent and believable, and that too much freedom always lead to nonsense, disconnected things, immersion break.
Tanaka, unlike Yoshida, knew how much all of this was important. Tanaka was an artist making a work of art, Yoshida is a former WoW player working for a greedy company.
Tanaka wanted to skip the PS3, knowing how much PS2 limited them in XI, which was the right choice, but Wada pushed him to make a PS3 client, which was impossible with the high quality choices he made, and this CEO also pushed him to release the game way sooner than planned, to counter the WoW expansion, forcing Tanaka to rush lots of stuff, to repeat places, etc.
So, today, when Yoshida enjoys making fun of Tanaka's team and their super high polygon count for a flower pot, and at the very same time you don’t go a week without having someone making a thread about how the current FFXIV lacks polygons, textures, AA, etc. in truth who should laugh at who?
Yoshida has no cinema and literature culture, he doesn’t know the potential of his game in that regards. Tanaka knew.
SE always expected to succeed with ARR, because they already had so many 1.0 players backing them up, they could not fail it, they were good again at making people think whatever they wanted to think, putting them on their side rather than fighting them with undisclosed important numbers, which proved to be a smart strategy in the long term.
Fixed

>mnk
>positionals
Only 1/3rd of the time
Holy shit nigger do you expect me to read all that?
>dps whore who wants to be on top
>literally wont play the 2 selfish top dps jobs
It was a flop to SE. It didn't make nearly as much money as they had hoped and didn't hold as many subscribers as they hoped (It had less than XI, a 10 year old game at the time)
I enjoyed 1.23 but it was still trash. The UI was entirely server side meaning any action, even opening your inventory took an extra full second to load. End game was nearly non existent, just some Prime fights and a single end game dungeon.
They had to do something. ARR was a mistake, though.
>Someone give me a guide on RDM please!
If you like doing endgame content and prefer to be clutch over being big dick DPS play RDM
>homolive poster
No one expects you to be able to read
Daily reminder that Tanaka was a sadist who got off on the tears of the players and especially hated gaijin even if they paid his salary
Anyone dance a dancer guide???
Count to 80 on one bar and 100 on the other
No
Praise Tanaka
Press the glowy button.
Okay risten
Flowerpot with more polygon than a player model so your ps3 melts down while playing the game
