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
BWAAAAAH!
You're Quinner
the world is ending and the big bad has a stand now
BWAAAAAH!
I heard something about stands
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
I DID identify the gundam, though

FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal
You're Quinner
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal
BWAAAAAH!
oh
BWAAAAAH!
yup that's a stand
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
Oh
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
No I definitely remember the Au Ra in general
ArtIsArt
Au Ra are NEAT.
You're Quinner
I just swapped over to au ra
BWAAAAAH!
I had a whole character concept for an Au Ra wol
BWAAAAAH!
It was stupid
BWAAAAAH!
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.
BWAAAAAH!
Also was that Graha at the end?
BWAAAAAH!
The dude
Dead Mentors
keeps drawing?
You're Quinner
graha is at 3:53
BWAAAAAH!
yeah that guy
BWAAAAAH!
so not at the end
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
he does look EXTREMELY generic
BWAAAAAH!
so what is Graha's deal?
oh i'm scary
the ridiculous thing about FFXIV is like
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
And titan was like
Tonberry King
BWAAAAAH!
: Moon's haunted
BWAAAAAH!
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,
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
1.0 just shows up in your house and kicks you in the dick
BWAAAAAH!
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...
BWAAAAAH!
I just read the tale of G'raha Tia
BWAAAAAH!
I now love one (1) Catboy
ArtIsArt
He is GOOD and PURE.
BWAAAAAH!
Also like
BWAAAAAH!
I'm gonna call AF out here
BWAAAAAH!
Because the main other character I associate with her
BWAAAAAH!
is Booster GOld
BWAAAAAH!
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
BWAAAAAH!
AF
BWAAAAAH!
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
