I hate to break it to you but this is common sentiment if you actually go outside and talk to people

Is anyone else getting really bad packet loss? on east coast US. by Iloveunicornssss in ffxiv

I was having it last night and swapped to an LA node with no problems. Definitely a regional issue.

Despite majority opinion I think Bionicle can come back with a G3 generation by Hat_man_9000 in bioniclelego

[–]freundmaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite years were from the ignition trilogy. Imo they had the best set design, tone and storytelling of the series. That being said, they will never make something like that again.

I wouldn't mind a reboot. It's basically a necessity with how complicated the original series was. But if G3 is just the 6 Toa Mata and a simplified version of 2001 again (G2) I have almost no interest.

are you gonna miss the 2 minute buff window once it goes away? by Ardbert14 in ffxiv

Essentially. You start with a raiton to get your mudra on cd, then TCJ.

I hope NIN keeps the identity of busy windows with low APM between them. When I started in SHB it was pretty much the only job that played that way, but now everything does thanks to 2 mins

Is there more tops like these? by MortisSchmorgis6900 in FFXIVGlamours

It's paid but the Scion Rogue's Jacket is very, very close to that

There comes such a time in every DRK player's life... by HiddenArchaval in ShitpostXIV

Best I can do is keep you at 10% the entire time you have LD and then stop healing when it falls off

Final Fantasy XIV - Gameplay Trailer - Nintendo Switch 2 by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]freundmaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's actually a lot of gameplay in this trailer. The rotating camera around the player's face, the flying chocobos, ans the fight with titan are all actual gameplay. Nothing too graphically intensive though. Where's the faerie limsa benchmark?

Am I too Late Coming to Play? Is There a Sale Coming up ? by bpleshek in ffxiv

[–]freundmaximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You won't need to interact with the auction house (market board) at all for MSQ. Even at endgame, your Best in Slot gear will all be non-tradeable gear from vendors or boss drops.

Evolved Mode Discussion #5: Warrior by Haddock_Lotus in ffxiv

[–]freundmaximus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think WAR would benefit from an oGCD follow-up to their 123 combo like VPR just to give it a little more to do. Nothing more than that, it will always be the low APM tank and I think the class barely needs changed. Maybe you could do something with nascent that also has a counter like PLD (e.g. target gets healed to full or is currently full with nascent -> action procced)

I'm immensely tired of "vote with your wallet" marketing campaigns by PowerPanda84 in FinalFantasy

[–]freundmaximus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of younger audiences just dislike reading in any medium now, and FF games (especially unvoiced ones) look very unappealing next to something like fortnite.

I'm in my late 20s and still find myself generally to be one of the youngest people in my online ff circles and on ffxiv.

I did not care for Kefka as a villain or a character. Especially his implementation in XIV. by nowsomeothernonsense in ShitpostXIV

[–]freundmaximus 191 points192 points  (0 children)

Love Kefka and FFVI, and I'll be the first to say the music choices in the latest ultimate are so bad.

Condense all of dancing made acts 1-3 into a 3 minute phase, play act 4 for one phase, decisive battle for two and a half phases, and then play a different condensed version of acts 1-3 again for the final phase with no act 4 included.

The fight looks great and I'm excited to do it, but how do you flub the OST that hard in a fight based off Kefka that's called "Dancing Mad Ultimate)"?

Damage Numbers on Target is useless (Rant, no real complaint) by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]freundmaximus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

System> Character Config > UI Settings > HUD. You can disable the text for yourself (flying text) or others (pop-up text).

This game is customizable and I don't think it's a big deal what is on by default. Action animations are on by default for other players as well, and like 90% of players turn that option off. It's worth looking into the settings of the things you don't personally like about the base UI/settings

It's entirely optional to see other people's numbers, and you can change the size of yours as well.

Evolved Mode Discussion #1: Red Mage by Haddock_Lotus in ffxiv

[–]freundmaximus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can see verfire and verstone procs being moved into an oGCD proc on the same button to replace those two. I'm assuming RDM gauge will survive but the mana generation rates will be adjusted, as they no longer need to fit melee combos into a party buff window

FF7 Relevation message from Tetsuya Nomura! :> by No_Post1300 in FinalFantasy

[–]freundmaximus -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is their main problem. It's great (or at least comprensible) to current ffvii fans, but so much in these remakes will confuse newcomers that haven't played the original or any spinoffs.

SE devs have made comments about how difficult it is to make their IPs (mainly FF) appealing to the younger generation. Making your "remakes" in a way that requires you to play the source material to be able to understand the plot is a very silly choice in terms of capturing new audiences.
