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
Master Chieve
Quinneapolis
the world is ending and the big bad has a stand now
Master Chieve
I heard something about stands
Master Chieve
But I couldn't find them in the video
EsperBot
The new melee DPS job has a stand
Quinneapolis
that was a different bit
Master Chieve
I DID identify the gundam, though

FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal

FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER Reaper Reveal
Master Chieve
oh
Master Chieve
yup that's a stand
Master Chieve
And is that a new race?
Saturn Is A Tea
welp maining reaper now-
Quinneapolis
no that's an au ra
Quinneapolis
they're established
Master Chieve
Oh
Master Chieve
I forgot they had tails
Quinneapolis
dragon people
Quinneapolis
yeah they have tails
Quinneapolis
they DID add male bunnypeople
Master Chieve
No I definitely remember the Au Ra in general
ArtIsArt
Au Ra are NEAT.
Quinneapolis
I just swapped over to au ra
Master Chieve
I had a whole character concept for an Au Ra wol
Master Chieve
It was stupid
Master Chieve
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.
Master Chieve
Also was that Graha at the end?
Master Chieve
The dude
Dirk Warhard
keeps drawing?
Quinneapolis
graha is at 3:53
Master Chieve
yeah that guy
Master Chieve
so not at the end
Master Chieve
I just saw him and was like "Oh shit I recognize that guy!"
Quinneapolis
the dude at the end is the like
Dirk Warhard
My boy!
Quinneapolis
generic stand-in protag
Quinneapolis
you, the player
Master Chieve
he does look EXTREMELY generic
Master Chieve
so what is Graha's deal?
oh i'm scary
the ridiculous thing about FFXIV is like
Master Chieve
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
Dirk Warhard
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
Master Chieve
Everyone was like "IT STARTS TO GET GOOD AROUND TITAN"
Dirk Warhard
They did streamline ARR a lot recently, which definitely helps, but it's still A Lot
Master Chieve
And titan was like
Tonberry King
Master Chieve
: Moon's haunted
Master Chieve
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,
Master Chieve
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
Master Chieve
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
Master Chieve
1.0 just shows up in your house and kicks you in the dick
Master Chieve
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
Dirk Warhard
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
Quinneapolis
I recall legends of some specicfic flower pot model that they used for decoration in a ton of areas
Quinneapolis
that had like
Quinneapolis
more polygons than the humans
Quinneapolis
so whenever one was in the area your fps would tank
Dirk Warhard
yeah...
Master Chieve
I just read the tale of G'raha Tia
Master Chieve
I now love one (1) Catboy
ArtIsArt
He is GOOD and PURE.
Master Chieve
Also like
Master Chieve
I'm gonna call AF out here
Master Chieve
Because the main other character I associate with her
Master Chieve
is Booster GOld
Master Chieve
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
Dirk Warhard
look
Dirk Warhard
LOOK
Dirk Warhard
I have never once claimed to not have a type
Master Chieve
AF
Master Chieve
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
