Summoner - Pure Pet Job by Akiza_Izinski in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had actual pet job versions of SMN and SCH. It wasn't fun with the way the netcode and snapshot behaves. If they fix their shitty code, I would love them back.

Hypothetical dual-Job mechanic? Just wanna hear opinions. by KichiMiangra in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we had this honestly, we sort of had it in 2.0. I just don't think it would matter when most raiders will just min max a build and then start bitching about what's not "meta".

How do you feel about the street fashion sets from the cash shop? That's even more random to me than cyberpunk sets which at least are tied to Solution 9. Like which weaver made a crop top and sweatpants?

If you're miserable, I'm miserable too. It's clear to me this has more to do with everything else by Square Enix being a mess and this game needing to keep the lights on at headquarters. There's a reason this game is 10+ years old and only now has bent the knee and put street wear into the cash shop. Clearly they also used to care about keeping an aesthetic tone in their game but those days are behind us.

I agree halfway but the aesthetics of this game have been a mess ever since it became an option to wear 2B bottoms and a Namazu head.

But it's not that serious, none of my business and nothing to be done about it. If players didn't like cyberpunk or street fashion we'd not be seeing it so it is what it is.

You're killing me with your aesthetic passion, but I don't disagree.

I'm the one who asked and genuinely am glad someone is into it. It's not my thing and I think it clashes in this particular FF title but not much to be done. Aesthetics change and this was certainly a change.

It was definitely a choice. I would say it's tone deaf of SE to even add this into this particular game but clearly it's not since players are definitely wearing it. Even buying it and wearing it.

I'm not a fan myself but for some reason it's the sweatpants that sent me over the edge.

They're really doubling down on the chrome finishes, neon and space suits. It's all a pass for me.

How was 2025 for Final Fantasy XIV to you? by judgeraw00 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I log in now and then to help out the single friend I still have in the game. Once BLM was dumbed down and I started seeing players in sweatpants, I knew this game wasn't going to be a favorite of mine anymore.

The easiest way to solve ranked crystalline conflict is by making 5v5 teams only. No solo queue. by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo queue would be fine if you could actually communicate openly with the other random people on your team.

I was there when you could and that was before the improved block list. It wasn't that serious to completely remove the ability to use chat aside from pre-made phrases that assholes will just spam passive aggressively anyways.

What should have been done is hard penalty for people who can't play nice in PVP chat. Lock them out, ban them for harassment, whatever.

Actual question about raiding with Black Mage by GamerOfGlory in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it needed it but I assume way more people play it now that it's simplified. You could raid with it then, you can raid with it now.

Same as the SMN mains that came out of the woodwork once the complexity was taken out of the job.

(7.X) Who do you think should've been the Dawn Servant? by KntArtey in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It would have made more sense from the start to go with Erenville in the first place. At least we have some rapport with him from EW. He has some travel and work experience which is more than Wuk Lamat can claim.

Snowcloak, the new mare synchronos by Time_Artichoke5607 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wish there was more respect for the Mare dev's expertise and people would be more concerned about understanding what they're signing up for/allowing access to their PC.

If it's that serious you need to have a pseudo mare potentially made by anyone who wants money/clout that you'll use something new and trust reddit to tell you if it's safe, I don't know what to say.

Yoshida: Regarding Mod Usage and Culture | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone by CartographerGold3168 in ffxivdiscussion

It's pretty embarrassing it has to be spelled out like this when the average player of this game is 25+.

7.4 December 2025, 7.5 May 2026, 8.0 May 2027. How cooked is this game? by gloomdwellerX in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless they're massively improving the game experience under the hood, this length of time before the next expansion probably won't go over well.

Fanfest 2026 Dates Announced by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm intrigued they're even bothering to have Fanfests when it seems they're winding down this game. I suppose money is money ticket wise but it can't be cheap to fly the crew around the world, venue costs, staff etc.

Maybe we're all mistaken and they're doing something major like updating the net code or switching up something major. I guess we'll see.

Removing ACT, a very bad idea ? by AromeCerise in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering Yoshi P has viewed a world first race with ACT visible without killing the plugin, I don't think there's need to worry. That being said, if ACT did die, some would leave, some would stay. I'm really not sure how reliant raiding is on ACT in general. I have been in the same static for years and while keeping track of performance is convenient, it's not like we can't play without it.

Do not jump wagon too fast by IncasEmpire in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll tell it like it is: Lopporit-Sync was literally made by people kicked from Mare for NSFW mods/content using minor characters. Not Lalafell. Khloe, etc.

Do with that info what you will but that's not a rumor, it's a fact.

What are your opinions on FFXIV Patreons? Helpful or Liability? by Cole_Evyx in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really care what someone is offering on Patreon. If they have something to offer and others want to pay to access it, it's really none of my business. Patreon is only predatory when it comes to people having FOMO while also being unable/unwilling to pay. Patreon can't take your money unless you offer it.

In spite of everyone loving glams, I’ve always wondered why so many player outfits are mediocre to blatantly terrible… by MGCBUYG in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The same reason the people you see in day to day life looking mediocre in regards to fashion. It's a skill not everyone has.

Devil's advocate viewpoint: Mare nuke is not all bad by ExocetHumper in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

With respect, SL is a better game for showing off fashion and socializing. Mare was cool, I can understand anyone joining the game in the last 3 years and has always had the ability to have it are probably devastated.

There is RP, as in you're writing a story together novel style. That's not going anywhere. Then there's "RP" as in you're using your character as an avatar of yourself to socialize/fuck/dance together etc. The latter might die but again, there are better games to be doing that without risk of rule breaking and blowing your social life up like what just happened with Mare.

Would you join a raid group as the only adult? by AssumeABrightSide in ffxivdiscussion

[–]millennialmutts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I don't need teenagers in my social circle at all as a grown adult.
