Did everyone collectively forget you can buy a story skip which is a much more predatory system? People are ALREADY feeling pressured into doing it at least with a new system it wouldn't cost half the base game price lmao???
the thought of new players who are tentatively interested in ffxiv's story being peer-pressured to skip it to catch up to friends who don't really care about msq makes me feel ill tbh
@BoopyLord@livememoria "not an endgame mmo"
There has been one content release this expansion that wasn't specifically for end-game players and it was CRAFTING CONTENT.
@PSNaaaangus@LuLuTheGoth WoW's strength has never been story telling. Its a combat focused MMO with story sprinkled in. FFXIV is a story focused MMO with combat sprinkled in. Except the issue here is WoW's combat has only gotten better while 14s combat AND story have stagnated.
@mahaljaani Your take was so lukewarm I don't understand how it pissed off this many people lmao??? If you aren't a toxic person in your parties then the statement shouldn't offend you! If it does offend you please do some self-reflection.
@Jitter07 If you have taken this as a personal insult I am led to believe you are one of the people being referenced. If you were a raider normally adjusted to society this would not offend you. There are a LOT of very rude people with superiority complexs in 14.
@doodlesproot@thememelizard Yeah but with the update itll be easier and less detectable because you can eliminate an entire plugin currently needed for it. All you need is the npc text advance and not a pathing/movement plugin.
@attecy@GayAzureDog During all 3 alliance raid launches they ran a promo where you could get an XI sub for cheaper than normal. Was there a discounted rate for people who wanted to try 14? No? Then its a promo for XI. I loved the raids but not seeing that is kinda silly.
@Zuffie_@mexican_sunbro Yes and in return you need to still press other keys during in order to not run into walls. That is not the same thing as this and you know it.
@tay_lhur@SylvAlternate@juunibug Because if we look back at the previous FF collabs (COLLABS not when they took inspiration from other FF games) thats how they did it literally every time. Clive had amnesia. Noctis had amnesia. The person representing the player character in 11 DURING THIS EXPANSION had amnesia.
@Silverddragn Wuk Lamat is a terribly written character who had a great voice actor who got fcked over publicly because SE gave her terrible vocal direction for what she was recording.
Hating Wuk Lamat isn't the litmus test y'all keep thinking it is.
@doodlesproot@thememelizard But now you can eliminate using Vnavmesh for the movement meaning all you need is the plugin that auto progresses npc dialogue/cutscenes and you can effectively just afk the entire story outside of story fights.
@ToniNottford Plugins like this are gonna get mods nuked from existence. Mare already had us on thin ice because it was storing things SE didnt like, idek what their response would be 2 this...
@xIlyria I see ultimate raider titles multiple time every week fuck up the most basic mechanics so no, clearing current savage does not automatically put you above other people skill or knowledge-wise.
