FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Full Trailer
I have NO idea what all this is about and I'm not going to play the game again but goddamn if it isn't cool
Where Is Harkan
You're Quinner
the world is ending and the big bad has a stand now
Where Is Harkan
I heard something about stands
Where Is Harkan
But I couldn't find them in the video
EsperBot
The new melee DPS job has a stand
You're Quinner
that was a different bit
Where Is Harkan
I DID identify the gundam, though

FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal
You're Quinner
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal
Where Is Harkan
oh
Where Is Harkan
yup that's a stand
Where Is Harkan
And is that a new race?
Saturn Is A Tea
welp maining reaper now-
You're Quinner
no that's an au ra
You're Quinner
they're established
Where Is Harkan
Oh
Where Is Harkan
I forgot they had tails
You're Quinner
dragon people
You're Quinner
yeah they have tails
You're Quinner
they DID add male bunnypeople
Where Is Harkan
No I definitely remember the Au Ra in general
ArtIsArt
Au Ra are NEAT.
You're Quinner
I just swapped over to au ra
Where Is Harkan
I had a whole character concept for an Au Ra wol
Where Is Harkan
It was stupid
Where Is Harkan
TRAGICALLY I did not enjoy FF14's gameplay because there is clearly some Good Shit in there
ArtIsArt
I have a male Xaela rp toon. He's got autism and is awkward but somehow married a really nice girl.
Where Is Harkan
Also was that Graha at the end?
Where Is Harkan
The dude
Dead Mentors
keeps drawing?
You're Quinner
graha is at 3:53
Where Is Harkan
yeah that guy
Where Is Harkan
so not at the end
Where Is Harkan
I just saw him and was like "Oh shit I recognize that guy!"
You're Quinner
the dude at the end is the like
Dead Mentors
My boy!
You're Quinner
generic stand-in protag
You're Quinner
you, the player
Where Is Harkan
he does look EXTREMELY generic
Where Is Harkan
so what is Graha's deal?
oh i'm scary
the ridiculous thing about FFXIV is like
Where Is Harkan
Sell me on your boy
oh i'm scary
you did not in any meaningful sense get to the gameplay
oh i'm scary
but
oh i'm scary
the full-length RPG you have to play before it gets good
Dead Mentors
It's a very long story but lucky for you I've written it all up before
oh i'm scary
is a HUGE design problem
Where Is Harkan
Everyone was like "IT STARTS TO GET GOOD AROUND TITAN"
Dead Mentors
They did streamline ARR a lot recently, which definitely helps, but it's still A Lot
Where Is Harkan
And titan was like
Tonberry King
Where Is Harkan
: Moon's haunted
Where Is Harkan
pretty dull tbh
oh i'm scary
that's not a completely unreasonable place to point out as "starting to get good" but like
oh i'm scary
"starting" is a word that does a lot of heavy lifting,
Where Is Harkan
But also like I watched some streams of Quinn playing it and while it certainly looks more intense it just Does Not Look Like My Jam
EsperBot
Yeah like I can't blame anyone for falling out of it during ARR
EsperBot
I spent like 90% of my time in ARR kvetching
oh i'm scary
and ARR
oh i'm scary
is the massive crazy success story
Where Is Harkan
Like
oh i'm scary
of a game being completely rebuilt from the ground up and made a million times better
oh i'm scary
1.0 must have been a portal to hell
Where Is Harkan
1.0 just shows up in your house and kicks you in the dick
Where Is Harkan
Then steals your girlfriend
EsperBot
I like the description Pat SuperBestFriends made of the gameplay at endgame
EsperBot
which is that it's like being in training mode, practicing an infinite combo on a dummy
EsperBot
while at the same time someone is throwing cans at you from across the room to try to make you drop it
Dead Mentors
Here's an area map in 1.0, just to give an idea of how hellish it was.
Here's an area map in 1.0, just to give an idea of how hellish it was.
oh i'm scary
oh i'm scary
did they build the fucking overworld out of mazes
moontouched
AWFUL
You're Quinner
I recall legends of some specicfic flower pot model that they used for decoration in a ton of areas
You're Quinner
that had like
You're Quinner
more polygons than the humans
You're Quinner
so whenever one was in the area your fps would tank
Dead Mentors
yeah...
Where Is Harkan
I just read the tale of G'raha Tia
Where Is Harkan
I now love one (1) Catboy
ArtIsArt
He is GOOD and PURE.
Where Is Harkan
Also like
Where Is Harkan
I'm gonna call AF out here
Where Is Harkan
Because the main other character I associate with her
Where Is Harkan
is Booster GOld
Where Is Harkan
And the main things I know about him is that he is a time traveler who's a huge doof but pretends to be a scary mysterious guy (I think) for a while
Dead Mentors
look
Dead Mentors
LOOK
Dead Mentors
I have never once claimed to not have a type
Where Is Harkan
AF
Where Is Harkan
It's okay to have a type
skerple
G'raha Tia is a very good catboy
A Grinning DM
funny enough I pitched a class very much like reaper to WotC during the 4e D&D days, but they were very much not interested
