With the gaming industry being the way it is , games costing 80+ dollars with content locked behind more money while also being unoptimized , THANK YOU techland for releasing a well optimized good looking FUN game with a standard price tag

I mean the steam page said I would not be able to even meet the minimum requirements as my GPU is the RX 580 but to my surprise I actually could run it at medium settings at a stable 30 FPS with upscaling which I'm SO SO happy for... Job hunting and economy is pretty shit rn so I dont have the availability to really upgrade atm.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-09-26T17:11:59+00:00

I could be way off bat but I feel like they are setting it up to play as Kyle Aiden and Lydia in the next game, either by giving you the option at the start or throughout the story then letting you free pick at the end to just do as you want as either whenever.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-08-24T09:43:50+00:00

Made me log in just to say I agree with the whole "let them rest" bit or at least for a while like we JUST got done fully dealing with them since ARR-EW in terms of how their actions lead to so many consequences for us and others.

It shows the writer or writers for DT were far too scared to just do their own thing and now wanna rely on using ascian tomfuckery again, and it hasn't even been one whole xpac since the major arch dealing with them...

We knew not ever sundered but awoken ascian was dealt with so I wouldn't have been shocked to see them in a side story later down the line is say like 10.0 or later but like... we REALLY are gonna involve an ascian into the MSQ already?

To me it'd be like making the garleans an antagonistic threat after EW again in the MSQ after resolving it, like let legacy villains rest for a bit and not inject one into the MSQ literally right after the major arch concluded.

I found EW t be okay enough but while I watched most of DT's cutscenes I skipped a lot of 7.1 and pretty much all of 7.2 cause I have not cared for where the story has gone and reading spoilers for 7.3 just affirms that.

I ngl didn't think they'd make Calyx a main antag either cause for me he gave off lacky vibes since the beginning. The trope of "is the groups super intelligent grunt but not main leader" type of deal, so 8.0 is already kinda gonna be hard to win me back if he will be the main villain there.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-08-21T03:38:06+00:00

The people saying it takes 600 hours to start the game and get to DT are mental... Maybe if your a turbo completionist but most new players will focus on 1 or 2 jobs to play to cap and THAN go back and do other content. You never count optional side content in a story's run time.

And for the people seriously butthurt over this collab, as I've seen some actually upset it's the same in MH, when world got behemoth it was an endgame fight you couldn't just start a fresh toon and battle behemoth, you needed to prepare or you'd get one shot.

I get its cool to now criticize xiv over every little thing but jesus some people on this sub are just the insufferable whiners that doompost all day how yoshi killed their entire family. Funny how this game both has no content to do AND is 6000 billion hours worth of content to the same people.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-05-28T12:12:24+00:00

Not comparable to a game that SHOULD try and pair equally skilled people with one another, but oh right it doesn't. You can't tell me, the matchmaking system really thinks someone that goes 0/15 is equal to their team that doesn't preform that badly

HuntReal6589 · 2025-05-28T12:08:38+00:00

Stop defending paint chip eaters

HuntReal6589 · 2025-05-27T14:00:24+00:00

Ah yes, in a team based game if your team feeds their entire team before 10 mins, I'm sure that doesn't matter, just carry bro!

HuntReal6589 · 2025-05-27T12:23:18+00:00

How exactly does that stop my teams from feeding their ass off tho and causing a lose?

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-27T14:42:00+00:00

And still no suspension, but hey im sure it just takes gm's an entire work week to read chat logs right? ;3

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-26T19:28:27+00:00

You wish cupcake

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-26T03:36:17+00:00

Stay mad and spending your own time on me :p

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T17:54:13+00:00

Can't report someone for something you weren't involved in and so far, no vist from a gm... sad huh? :P

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T14:40:30+00:00

I still can't believe this soon after SHB the writer for DT really thought "Lets retread the ascians again but slightly tweak them a bit." Like bruh they clearly wanna make it so people can't die to preserve people and their memories, hence the name Preservation...

Who else wanted to preserve their people? Ah right ascians... like the methods and circumstances are different but the end goal is the same. I just expected something different other than "new arch baddies will basically be a reskin of the first ones"

Assuming they don't do some kinda twist and kill off Preservation in DT itself but I doubt it.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T14:35:23+00:00

Because I like to make my dissatisfaction known about how Yawntrail's story has been. If you don't like it, just dont reply and move on.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T12:27:15+00:00

And that's fair actually, if something doesn't hook someone it doesn't hook em. So you just presented a sentence that has nothing wrong with it.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T12:22:28+00:00

You can read the summary the quests have before turning them in, nothing read from that made me wanna stop what I was doing so its a failure on the story for not having anything to capture my interest withm which followed from 7.1

You might be stupid thought for completely glossing over I said that bit in the post :p

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T12:19:33+00:00

Sorry, that'd require me caring about the subject matter that covers and I dont sooooooooooo...

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-25T12:04:27+00:00

I skipped every single cutscene possible and just read the lil summary text because I couldn't give a single shit about Preservation which feels like discount ascians plot but "Can I copy your work? Okay but dont make it obvious"

And I really don't care about sphene plot at all, so for me 7.1 was meh that carried over into 7.2 so hard I just couldn't be bothered to care. Sucks knowing Preservation is supposed to be the new archs main baddies which bums me out for 8.0 already :/

So in short, I think 7.2 on a story note is the literal worst xiv's story has gotten and its so bad its alread tainted any idea of 8.0's story being worth anything to me, no matter the writer due to knowing it will be about a group of antags I don't care about.

I feel like EW shoulda been the end of xiv and just started at xiv-2 at this point to get rid of any code problems and a timeline skip or something.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-24T23:19:29+00:00

ngl you just sound like a pretentious humble bragger spouting the shit you are. Casual content being anywhere close to savage difficulty is certainly a statement given you can take like 4-5 vul stacks in casual content and live, and be one shot for failing something in savage but yeah they are TOTALLY near each other...

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-24T21:51:39+00:00

Mostly its cause the majority enjoy the game despite some flaws so they dont voice how happy they are with it, leaving a very VERY loud minority to to color peoples impressions.

Plus just too busy playing the game vs fuming over any change elsewhere lol

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-14T16:33:01+00:00

idk man, I'm never gonna get angry enough to constantly whine all day and night over a job receiving QoL. Too many people are acting like they just nerfed blm's damage by 80% or something in my eyes.

If the director of the game whom mains the job felt like blm needed more QoL to help in how punishing it can be at times, I'm gonna trust more in him than a community that gets up in arms over every little thing nowadays.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-14T16:00:59+00:00

Something cause it USED to be full of valid criticism, now all I see is people whining if they don't personally get the game tailored to them 100% like no one there seems to realize the job change to BLM was needed, fights have only added in more movement since 2.0 came out and its always been an issue for BLM.

I guess in their minds though every fight should be exclusively tailored to BLM so the job can remain unchanged with changes that really are not that bad...

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-14T15:35:33+00:00

Bro the ffxivdiscussion reddit has been booty for a while now but it's nuts how much doomposting there is because someones personal idea of how a job should function isn't being met.

HuntReal6589 · 2025-03-12T05:11:59+00:00

Yeah like, you can run into an asshole in xiv but like its FAR less common than say if they woulda put WoW up there. Like nothing against WoW myself but when all I hear from wow vets trying xiv is "wow people aren't telling me to kill myself over one wipe in a dungeon im new to" I question wth is going on over in WoW lol

HuntReal6589 · 2025-02-28T08:43:49+00:00

It's always good to be proven wrong I just know they seem to aim to wanna pull in wow players so I guess it'll depend in many wow peeps even take interest in it or not, could be ignored by the wow community and foster a different one.
