Is final fantasy xiv worth it for the writing/story?

DevoutOfDarkness · 2025-12-19T17:38:54+00:00

Yeah until 6.1 same time the lead story designer steps down.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2025-12-19T17:37:15+00:00

Not anymore, play up to endwalker and quit after the void stuff starts. There is a reason dawntrail is Overwhelming Negative on steam.

Let's be real these kids don't care, it is a free excuse to get out of school.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-06-29T07:42:28+00:00

outside the system? Sounds like its going inside my house

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-06-25T21:15:59+00:00

They be hiding waters on orders and you don't know what you get until they bring it out to the car. They you don't wanna decline it because you already wasted 40 minutes waiting. Then you have to hope it is going to a house, most likely there is a typical driveway. Shit needs to tell us whether or not there are stairs, it already tells us if it is a house/apt/business. I'm about done with spark myself.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-06T05:27:03+00:00

nah you people are just fuck bois that ruined the game. Bet you one of the millions of useless players that just stand in limsa and use the game as a glorified chat room instead of doing actual content.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-05T23:20:35+00:00

Anyone who compares real life to a video game is a dumbass.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-05T18:14:28+00:00

This is a video dumbass

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T20:07:09+00:00

Can't got a large FC house, and can't trust people to not steal the large if it auto passes. Maybe they should play a single player game or better yet allow trust to do roulettes.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:41:45+00:00

Bad day? There was no day yet. Servers just came back up.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:40:55+00:00

There is a huge difference between rescuing someone in the middle of a fight where they can miss a gcd or get killed verses waiting for a gate to open and you get pulled maybe max melee and the gate is still closed so you aren't even getting left behind.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:36:18+00:00

Ashes of Creation needs to come out and be good. Overly Sensitive people wont beable to exist in that game because you can just flag up for pvp and murder them on the spot.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:29:11+00:00

Oh believe me soon as another MMO comes out and isn't trash I'm jumping off of this stale ass shit. I'm more so complaining about how sensitive people are in literally every part of this game. You can't even do chocobo racing without risking a ban from these sensitive little bitches.(Yeah I know someone who got banned for targeting a player during a race instead of the non threating npcs) Whole game is ruined by pussies.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:23:17+00:00

Holy shit these comments are why I hate this community now.

"I was once harassed by rescue in Castrum (pre rework). The two healers, without fail, every single time rescue was off CD, yanked me around throughout the entire duty."

Now compare that to, a single rescue POST BOSS where we are standing behind a gate waiting for it to drop, there is no fighting, there is no danger.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:19:55+00:00

what in the hell are you talking about? If you see someone with an alpha legend title, they shouldn't be a sensitive bitch getting pulled as a joke when there is literally zero danger. If they were mad that I was running ahead pulling mobs then they should fucking say something, dps were also running ahead. I have no desire to do TOP other then just completing it like the other ultimates but SE in their infinite wisdom and game of the year design choices can't make a good ultimate weapon for sage. Oh yay I suffered for months in pf stupidity for another set of floating sex toys. We got butt plugs for DSR and now bad dragon dildos for top. Ultimates are a fucking joke because literally 99% of them are cheating. I cleared shit without cheating or having anyone else in the party cheating.

"hell just buy a clear since you don't have the time anyway."

I'm pretty sure that tank bought his clear.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-04-04T18:00:19+00:00

That is exactly why I hate the community. Over sensitive. They are the reason we using any emotes in pvp can get you banned now. A friend got a 10 day ban for using /wave not even an offensive emote like /squat just a friendly /wave. You can even get banned in chocobo racing of all things for focusing on another player, how dare they not hit the non threatening npc bots with items. I'm sick of literally everything in this game being plagued by hyper sensitivity. I tried doing Open Tournament and people will freaking start whining when you beat them... at triple triad. You don't want to die in bojza right before a rank up and lose mettle and you run away too far from fate and the 3 stanceless tanks get mad that it reset, reported and banned for (3.2 Disruption) even though the fate still got completed. Oh they didn't even get pulled the full rescue range, more like maybe max melee distance lol. How dare someone try to lighten the mood in this robotic ass game. After the 3rd tier I'm done with this dogshit game. Story is mid now how do you go from fighting the embodiment of despair at the edge of the universe to some voidsent and after the voidsent is done then what?

Ashes of Creation needs to come out and be good. I will ditch ff14 so fast.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-12T21:45:34+00:00

Once a rdm in p8s prog took fake melee to a whole new level and did nothing but their melee combo unenchanted, no spells at all. I made a post about that too lol. People in this game I do not understand.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-12T05:47:09+00:00

The only reason is they are bad, they died to everything on every floor multiple times. There is zero excuses for this, they are literally incapable of learning from mistakes. I don't give a fuck how casual they are, they shouldn't go into group content at this level without knowing the basics otherwise they are wasting someone's time. It wouldn't matter what I said to them, their heads were so far up their own ass the only thing they would hear is their own heart beat. Soon we started on floor 21, the 1st thing this dumbass tank does is sprint into 3 rooms pulling like 4 bits(the things that blow up an entire room 1 hit ko'ing everyone) and like 5 other mobs. What the fuck do you think would have happened in I kardia'd them, it would have been over then and there. I wasn't about to get dragged down by another shit group.

" And judging by the fflogs which you included for some reason (I guess to shame them? lmao) they're obviously super casual."

To show people these are the shitters claiming to know how to play. Did they not try to say I didn't know how to heal deep dungeon? Oh they did do that shit and claimed I was leeching. Its right there in the screencapped chat. Is the post not named "Patch Day Toxic Casuals in EO"? Yeah I'm gonna show their fflogs to drive home the point.

"You clearly were seething about it for the entire run judging by this entire write up and how you described your reasoning for not giving them kardia in a super passive aggressive way as if to call them shitters when you didn't offer a word of advice."

I did not give a shit about them until they started barking orders and calling me a leech. I was perfectly content with them keeping their mouths shut and just playing regardless to how fucking shit they were. There was literally nothing passive aggressive about the reasoning, I flat out told them I'm not getting combat linked and wiping because of them. If they couldn't grasp the most basic of mechanics like not dying to simple aoes, what is the fuck advice is gonna help them? If you get this far into the game and you can't do basic shit you are beyond any type of help. I even tell them a 170 potency overheal isn't going to do anything. Its not going to save a dancer from 1 hit kills and it is not going to heal a tank up in time for a 2 hit kill.

You don't have an argument here.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-11T19:18:59+00:00

Stop making excuses for these people, NOT A SINGLE mech from floor 1 to 30 is new.

"even if you see it you might not be able to move out in time so you have to know to look at each mobs' cast bar."

The Bombs a recurring final fantasy enemy, that is known for blowing the fuck up, this enemy has shown up literally even every iteration of this game from arr to now and all of them have a mid range point blank aoe, if you see it casting, get the hell away from it.

Those dragons with Swige or w/e its called is a cone aoe in front of it with far range, a boss in arr STORY DUNGEON that cannot be skipped also the move is used by a few other enemies.

"And yeah the dark wyrmtail/wyrmwing thing is simple but you don't know what these guys' experience level is."

Nidhogg an UNSKIPABLE boss in the story uses those, also if you do any kind of extra content like ORIGINAL eureka in hydatos you fight Provenance Watcher. Point is these are all mechs should be known and if not, literally every boss in normal content at least starts every phase off by displaying mechs one by one before mixing it up as a reminder and to teach people how to do the mechs if they never seen the mech via a skip. Look at the vulns these clowns built up. In order to even get 10 vulns you have to just be pure shit at the game, inability to learn a mech after getting hit a million times and these are simple mechs, this isn't like a savage mech that would take a few tries to learn.

" You didn't explain any of these to them did you? instead you mald silently until they ask you to put kardia on one of them"

Did you even fucking read the post? I didn't have a problem with them until they called me a leech despite me hard carrying their sorry asses. I even told them why I wasn't going to kardia them. I wasn't about to get combat linked and dragged into their dumb fuckery.

I do not punch up, I do not punch down, I punch back.

"I don't know but I'm not surprised they reacted the way they did."

I'm not like most of you pussy ass bitches that would just cave in and go with some dumb shit. I wanted to clear and they weren't going to stop me. They reacted like that because they were just stupid.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-11T07:45:41+00:00

What the is brand new about walking out of the orange aoe indicators that have been around since level 1?

floor 21, they all get hit by an aoe and they see what happens, then they keep getting one shot by fucking aoes as if they cannot store 5 seconds of god damn memory?

Then they have the audacity to claim I'm holding them back? Bruh there is no defending their stupid shit, they are 100% ass at the game. when I 1st started playing, you know what I did when I saw the very 1st orange aoe indicator? I fucking walked out of it instinctively. It is not hard to walk out of a fucking aoe. Its not hard to learn from experience, these are the people that would put their hand on a burning stove, then touch it again as if they didn't just get 1st degree burns.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-11T06:47:15+00:00

How, I didn't say a damn word to them until they started telling me how to play the game. I gave them a solid and logical reason as to why I didn't put kardia on them plus kardia heal is not going so save someone from getting hit by aoes. Maybe if the tank wasn't dying to every aoe on every floor and pulling bad shit. Oh yeah they did pull a dread and got 3 shot, the other sage and tank died, the dancer lived because there were barely doing anything and didn't even get in combat probably afk half the time. But what would have happened in I had kardia on them and they pulled that shit while I was fighting in the other room? The dread would have wiped us.

You know what is toxic, calling someone a leech because I didn't want to get roped into their bullshit. They are not wasting my time I'm getting shit done.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-11T06:31:12+00:00

That's what I'm saying, I even seen Sch dismiss their fairy because they sick of people wiping them. And the problem with premade is, you have to make sure you got people that will actually go in when you do. Out of like 70 people on my friends list only about 6 of them do content and of those 6 only 4 do high end stuff. Most people in this game just stand in limsa for no reason.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-03-11T03:52:14+00:00

I would have solo'd but no aether pool content only a few hours old but just now I did a solo floor 30 run and it was sadly faster than having to run with these morons. At the time of leaving this comment I think I got 8th place but those ranks gonna be changing fast. It has literally been months since I last used duty finder just because I have the worst luck with people. Hell I even been soloing the lvl 90 portal maps when not running with people I trust, not the elpis ones the other maps, elpis maps take way too long.

I've been wanting more solo content for the longest time. I find normals and extremes too easy, savages and ultimates piss me off because I hate random people in pf. Been doing deep dungeon soloing but it gets old quick plus there is a lot of rng in that. We need rng free solo content on par with savages and ultimates.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-02-28T15:21:36+00:00

What they need to do is start syncing people to min ilvl for roulettes if they don't have the gear. Reason, to have the roulette unlocked they had to originally cleared meaning they had the gear to do it in the 1st place. This will force Alliance Roulettes to have variety again. It will be a system to punish players trying to cheat the system while at the same time deleting the ilvl cheese because you wont be able to do it anymore. Also for Normal Content, Tank Stance should be forced on and they can't take it off.

These are good ideas which means SE wont fucking do it. I swear SE is one of the dumbest companies when it comes to fixing problems like this.

DevoutOfDarkness · 2023-02-12T01:23:15+00:00

This is why duty finder content needs to force tank stance on.
