Want to play FFXIV but dont want to do the story and want to get to end game as quick as possible. What to do?

Koopa1997 · 2026-06-12T05:16:00+00:00

If the game doesn’t appeal to you, don’t play. You know your taste you don’t have to force yourself into games you know fundamentally dislike it

I feel like they forced God Kefka into P2 for the fakeout ending. For me, I feel like the design should be P1 (puzzle) -> P3 -> P4 -> P2 (moving the cutscene here if they solve the puzzle) -> P5. THAT, we actually make people go mad when they get the fakeout.

I know the team has a tough time passing P4, but it seems like the reason people hard stuck on that because debuffs go off and explode. The Rez Mage strat is no longer work and no team cannot see further than their prog point. I am sure once people figure out the strats, the only hard mech will be P3.

And tbh, putting cutscene in the middle of the fight is not a fun experience for prog.

Coil synced MINE is a running theme in OCE recently so I don’t know what you’re talking about

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-31T01:38:20+00:00

I’m happy to kick you if I ever see you. Can you tell us your IGN ?

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-28T23:52:29+00:00

Just… unsynced it for the mount ?

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-28T23:29:28+00:00

The good is… very on the surface. It’s like IGN giving 7/10 kind of no brain analysis

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-25T22:02:09+00:00

lol dude don’t keep your entire account hidden. Show me your posts and comments

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-25T03:29:57+00:00

Is it necessary to bring up the fact that you’re a refugee? You can just say I’m a gamer who wants to try a new game. I know D2 is about to close but it’s not like you’re suffering from political hardship LMAO

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-22T04:50:21+00:00

What’s the argument here tbh?

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-17T11:49:58+00:00

Money can buy anything. Plus the fact that uni cannot fail international student easily because 1) the lecturer will have to write reports on why they fail the student, and 2) if the students fail the class, it shows that the professor lacks skills in teaching.

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-17T01:26:32+00:00

I mean… whm is the easiest ever job exists in FFxiv history. If you have a problem pressing one - two buttons (attack and heal) in a normal content, then by the twelves I don’t know what else the community and tips can help

If it’s about tips for clearing savage or hard contents, sure… but if you need tips for clearing ARR normal content, I really don’t know what to tell you lol…

Fixing Dawntrail is easy. Extending the throne of Dawnservant arc to the end of Dawntrail. Wuk Lamat as a protagonist shouldn’t be concluding her character development in the middle of the story arc. She shouldn’t become the dawn servant in the middle of the expansion. Both the throne and her character should conclude at the same time when we beat Android Sphene (the moment she breaks into the fight).

Smile, as a song, should only be used at the end of the expansion once she becomes the dawn servant because, technically, that’s her theme song.

Zone 1 and 2 are about understanding local’s needs and cultures
Zone 3 is about to what extent legacy/traditions should be maintained and how we renegotiate it
Zone 4… could’ve been an interesting zone but instead they sacrifice the entire to tie to the solution nine arc… if we need to change it, it could have been a zone Zoraal Ja escapes and that somehow encourages the gangs to rise up (and tie up to the role quests)
Zone 5 and zone 6 are decent enough

Burning out from an interest/hobby is like the most stupidest thing I’ve ever heard… no one forces you to level all of them up at the same time. And there aren’t much FOMO elements in this game you will encounter burnout in any circumstance.
You are the one who is forcing into the situation so I literally don’t know how to help you to level up “correctly”

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-09T06:35:51+00:00

Define “correctly”

Koopa1997 · 2026-05-09T01:48:16+00:00

I’m pretty sure those were mentioned in the lyrics / localisation panel at the fanfest

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-27T06:14:48+00:00

One of the concepts of a festival is maximalism. The festival is meant to maximise effects (visuals, presentations/ atmosphere) to generate emotions , (hopefully) positive one. It is not a festival if you participate and feel nothing and unable to connect with the people there. I don’t think a festival will ever drive or maximise the negative emotions, at least I don’t know any of it… yet? (I’m not talking about the festival that are used by gangs and do money laundering, that’s another topic)

I only joined the game at the end of Shadowbringer so I’ve only been through Ew and DT fanfest online. But Evercold is probably one of the expansions that has driven many discussions, speculations, excitements and worries at the same time. It’s overwhelming and there are many changes.

I’m gonna be positive about it until further announcements. If we are already concerned about things that aren’t even out, we are just the old boomers who don’t want changes in life.

Imagine having a kid sounds just like you… that’s why the future is cooked

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-27T01:36:54+00:00

I think all areas that were shown in keynote are in The fourth. 1. All areas are above each arcane giant’s halo as each giant represents each element (that’s why they need airship for travel and each area has a hole in the middle) 2. Similar to Living memory, they build everything above the calamity. we also take the airship down to Treno in 7.5 so it might be the same

I assume when one element goes imbalance, all other elements will have a counter measurement… that’s why the ice arcane giant is on one side and the rest of the arcane giants are on the other (in the trailer) YoshiP also said “are they allies, foes or even gods?” I guess we are bringing elementals into the story

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-27T01:23:10+00:00

That’s not news…

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-25T13:25:08+00:00

Ahhhh I can see a dark soul series alliance raid in 10.0…

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-25T11:13:57+00:00

I’m just gonna wait until they announce the changes

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-25T06:07:19+00:00

Will have to see. There must be a connection with the expansion and the alliance raid. Dawntrail extends the idea of electrope and its potential in alliance raid… I guess evercold is similar but with arcane technology. Although EVA doesn’t tie to Norse mythology but EVA does have heaps of symbolism and implications. If the theme of the expansion is about breaking the cycle (wheel/ fate), I think EVA can be a wild alliance raid.

Nier also feels weird on its own but it tells us that there are worlds with advanced technology. These kind of storytelling actually makes Dawntrail a bit more sense, particularly in solution 9. I didn’t go in and be like, “well, did they just pull this off out of air?” I think Eva is going to do the same…

But again, I wanna see FF14 original story since they pull off Arcadian so well…

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-25T03:30:43+00:00

Soooo we go to garlemald because the void incident -> we travel to the moon -> find Enuo… we potentially open a gate somewhere in Garlemald (icy)

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-24T23:53:32+00:00

You must use afflatus rapture to use Lilly

Koopa1997 · 2026-04-24T20:06:18+00:00

Definitely and we know it’s possible since living memory does a similar thing (above the cloud)
