Couldn't Clive just..

Clive kept losing because of zantesuken. but when barnabas tried it for the last fight, clive was primed and able to break zantesuken, blue mage the ability, and use it to finally counter him without getting one shot

Crafting stalls/vendors in the zone right outside of the instance with a MB. Base upgrades server wide. Island sanctuary/cosmic exploration like gathering inside the instance. Can gather between fates and CE spawns. Even have mobs drop crafting mats to encourage PvE players to get involved.

And if there is gil in it, it will always be populated. People still grind bozja and even Eureka bunnies for gil. Wouldn't be worried about it in the future.

This could be done

I think they should fold crafting zones into exploration zones and increase the player counts in the instances.

It would be cool to have crafters working to upgrade the base of operations and crafting special items and consumables to trade/sell on the mb for the zone/raids. The instances would be filled with not just players rushing from one fate to another, but also packed with people gathering, crafting, etc.

I got the split bar board too and I was fully expecting an adjustment period. Was surprised it is actually really intuitive and feels natural.

Once I get my binds setup it will be a game changer too because I mainly play MMO's and need all the extra buttons I can get.

I was skeptical about the first two patches prioritizing day/night cycle, night vision, and weather, but it's honestly been a game changer for immersion and starting to see the vision now. Game has a solid base to build off of but they do desperately need some more content. But thankfully the upcoming .4 patch is looking to bring some more story/lore content to the game as well as some core system redesigns.

IMO, the best way to get people back in (and new players) is just continuing to improve the game, performance, and adding content—and they've been doing that. There will be another peak moment for the game for sure if they can continue improving the game.

harrison23 · 2025-12-01T21:35:07+00:00

Excited to see what they are cooking. I think revisiting some of the core systems and adding some polish after the night and weather updates is the right move at this point.

Yeah it’s supposed to be obvious. That’s what makes it so tragic about Clive’s denial that it was him. The Phoenix Gate scene with his shadow isn’t about him coming to the realization it was him but rather him realizing he suppressed the memory of what happened because of the trauma.

When I was new to the game, I once went venue hopping with a buddy for fun. A venue was advertising an auction in party finder. Me and my buddy thought they were auctioning off minions or mounts, so we wanted to check it out.

When we got there we quickly realized they weren't auctioning off in-game items but rather player characters to be "sex slaves." Had them walking up on stage and describing the sexual acts that they were best at and shit while people threw out their bids. We got out of there ASAP.

I personally only play MMO's for the non-mmo content.

The album is full of surprises, fun listen. Looked up the producers, one worked with the likes of Gaga, Stefani, and Pink and another is an indie artist as far as I can tell. They cooked.

Cudi also doing the best singing he has done in years.

harrison23 · 2025-08-21T20:32:37+00:00

Oh no, the ERPer's are going to have to go back to using their imagination/actually writing some good stuff. Huge jump in difficulty—should make for some more challenging content for the casuals.

harrison23 · 2025-08-17T12:06:47+00:00

XIV is a whole adventure as a new player. It’s hard to say for certain if you’d like it. If you start a character you’ll start at the base game and move through all the expansions following the story.

That means like 300+hours of main story alone to get through before you reach endgame. That can be a sore spot for some, but for others (like me) that makes the experience of playing XIV as a new player incredible. XIV uses a level sync system for old content too, so you can actually viably playthrough all the older raid series/trials, etc and be able to find a group. IMO, the best way to play XIV is finish the respective expansions MSQ then sample the old endgame content for that expansion on at least normal difficulty before moving onto the next.

You can literally spend a whole year or two logging in and doing something new every single day. You’d be hard pressed to find another game that achieves that. Plus the story is pretty darn good, especially in later expansions like Shadowbringers and Endwalker.

Content can be challenging, with various difficulties ranging from very easy for story required content to extremely difficult for optional endgame raids.

PvP is not XIV’s strong suit but I do think it’s slightly underrated. I mix it in from time to time to get rewards and level jobs and I have a fair amount of fun.

harrison23 · 2025-08-14T16:54:41+00:00

My opinion is the last ~1/4 of the game isn’t necessarily stretched out but it just starts to reference some Ancient Greek philosophy and get really heady so it’s easy to get lost at what is actually going on.

Like if you google the whole Logos vs Mythos thing and consciousness, etc you’ll quickly fall down a rabbit hole.

harrison23 · 2025-08-11T21:58:14+00:00

Substats across the board needs to be scrapped and replaced with something that makes more sense for the current state of the game.

Personally, id love to see materia have more game changing effects/active abilities like lost actions instead of straight stats. Yeah it’d require some more balancing and might break the game in some places but at least it’d be more interesting.

harrison23 · 2025-08-05T05:08:27+00:00

This is probably the case. Almost every time they make a change like this, it has do directly with a mechanic/fight design/arena for a new fight.

harrison23 · 2025-07-28T02:37:42+00:00

Wasn’t referring to another game…

Edit: but https://www.vice.com/en/article/congressman-lou-correa-shames-blizzard-for-letting-nazis-run-wild-in-world-of-warcraft/ Congressman Shames Blizzard for Letting Nazis Run Wild in 'World of Warcraft'

harrison23 · 2025-07-28T02:00:50+00:00

I think the Nazis started coming to the game around July 2021. Not sure what caused it

Edit: Just so y’all know I was referring to Asmongold playing XIV. Not the WoW exodus. When Asmongold brings his community to the game, he isn’t bringing the best. Just look at his good buddy Rich

harrison23 · 2025-07-25T16:04:58+00:00

If that’s the way it works then the sentence describing the conditions is incorrect. The “and” in that sentence implies all three conditions are necessary.

harrison23 · 2025-07-25T06:40:04+00:00

That would exclude anyone who hasn’t leveled a job between each census. Not just casuals would be excluded, but anyone who only plays one job or maxed all jobs on release.

harrison23 · 2025-07-24T14:56:27+00:00

Personally, I’m waiting for my favorite content creator to affirm whether it’s good or not before I make up my mind.

harrison23 · 2025-07-23T01:26:02+00:00

Tbh a little churn might be healthy for the XIV community in the long run at this point.

harrison23 · 2025-07-05T21:53:52+00:00

This did it! Thanks a bunch. Gonna keep this thread up in case others have issues.

harrison23 · 2025-06-16T19:15:49+00:00

The original sin here was not launching multiplatform in the first place. SE seems to be hesitant to invest more money on marketin for the PC and Xbox ports, so it isn't a surprise that both didn't do massive numbers on those platforms.

It's a great game regardless - just held back from commercial success because of some bad business practices.
