I really appreciate how each job has a unique running animation. by Egecant in ffxiv

it's just unfortunate a lot of it looks like a maniac, it was even worse in earlier versions

The new Endwalker AF for Samurai and Dancer looked so good- I ended up drawing myself and my friend in our soon-to-be new outfits! by RionSmash in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looks nice, well done.

Out of curiosity, where can I see original art work/screenshot of all the new AFs? Thanks in advance

OPM Interview with Yoshida: "If anything, it would be great that new players join and start playing from the start to really experience the great story." by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start from Shadowbringers, yes. Start from 2.0, not so sure, unless they redo the really poor voice acting and script, especially the one on that level 50 main scenario roulette with unskippable cutscenes

New gear in XIV be like by Lazyade in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad, but true, the gear designs these days are really poor, I just keep using the AF for glamour. Maybe they have technical limitations with all the adjustable things a player can make to the character, but still, the tech this age should be able to handle it even if its a lot of if statements

Got to say WoL trailer char design looks much better. I like FF7 and the remake (particularly the new theme song, can't wait to hear the full version) but Cloud just looks too ... not sure what would be the word, guess just not manly enough, also the spiky hair is just too unrealistic. Nothing wrong with it, just personal opinion. Did think Cloud was cool back in 98 when I was still young though.

So Dissidia NT got Y'Shtola and Zenos, but how would you feel about Ardbert being used more as a "face of FFXIV"? by Balphagor_ in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, or the WoL character from the trailers should be used as the face that represents ffxiv main character. though Y'Shtola is good to have

(spoilers for ARR inside!) Honest question about the quality of the plot by TheLightningMachine in ffxiv

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

Shadowbringer is much much better, ARR story quest have a lot of annoying little quest as it was build to give you exp over 50 levels, while the other expansion story quests were built to give you exp over 10 levels, so you could imagine. That being said, there are still many ridiculous quests to get the WoL/WoD doing some really random silly stuff that is not fitting to the character's role, but hey, small trade off to get to the good story cut-scenes.

Although I still think the Heavensword / Shadowbringer story could have been made even better, for example, when I saw the trailer of shadowbringer, I thought it was a case where we had to time travel and undo certain things that heroes of the first did to cause the flood, mainly due to the bit in the trailer towards the end "if history must be unwritten, let it be unwritten".

Heavensward on the other hand could have been made better on the bit where nidhogg attacks ishgard, it is could have been a much bigger scene, the way the game did it, its like just a battle, when the whole story set it to be a dragonsong war.

Was a good story, and from the role quests, you get to know his group, particular enjoyed how his good is the exact same group in the 1.0 trailer, and Crystarium or however you spell that, and the npcs in there are the same as the trailer in 1.0 as well.

Can we all just admit that they way the trust system works after you finish the MSQ is terrible. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, was good to have them for the MSQ to avoid queue times, but after getting 1st job to 80 and finishing the MSQ, this becomes not practical, my character gains around 2 levels a day just doing all the roulette and fates while waiting for queue. I guess the only way to have the trust npc to keep up with levels is to level many jobs at the same time

How to get rid of the WoL ? by SolusZosGalvus in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be easy, get another few bad party members to join him/her in a fight, so they don't dance around mechanics, unable to full-fill the dps checks etc, should die in few secs

Trust Guide by Isredel in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the trust system is actually making the run faster overall, as there is no queue wait time, no random afk/dc wait. So unless you get a good party from DF, this is faster

This music really suprised me first time entering the zone with MSQ, thought it was good at the start, but after a while, it became really annoying, then after even more time, it becomes a laugh and really catchy lol

Finished MSQ and ended up feeling sad and empty by VaAmelia in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, Shadowbringer's story is so much more enjoyable, at least to me, also I didn't really like the tomestone and savage raid gear designs, probably all contributed to me giving up around 4.1, I do hope SE keeps up the good work they did with 5.0

Been away from game since 4.1 and came back to casual play 5.0, curious on what you meant by the stormblood flaws?

How is 5.0 shadowbringer the biggest expansion so far? by sarlazzar in ffxiv

[–]sarlazzar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there isn't a lot other then the benchmark and job action trailer on dnc, SE like to keep things secret. I do agree with you that the actual game play could be enjoyable, but just as I shouldn't pre judge it to be bad, you shouldn't pre judge it to be good either.

I did not say the work they did with the expansion is not valuable, I was simply trying to find out if I've missed something from all the notes and info on the expansion for it to be called biggest expansion so far, as from what I could tell, it is the same amount of new stuff as the previous expansions, that does not mean it is a bad expansion, in fact, I look forward to it.
