And then there’s XIV:
“Beware! I shall breakdance in front of you!”
– Monks performing Dragon Kick.
Sure… after cherrypicking the hell out of community feedback as if to create ideal examples of malicious compliance…
Yoshida’s fun, but the chances of getting a direct and meaningful response to feedback out of him is all too often similar to that of a message in a bottle tossed into the nearest ocean.
Accurate af. The only thing FF has on WoW is how fun the professions are, BUT they’re all basically pointless for money making. It’s similar to runescape, but everything you mine, fish, hunt, etc in RS is worth a decent amount of money. In FF everything outside of the most end game things is essentially worth more to vendor.
I mean, if you like preset macros and buying leveling packages…
I kid; there is some value for rolling with the RNG in the crafting process and one can gather for themselves if they’ve got enough inventory space (or buys more retainers for the extra X dollars per month, plus activation cost, and later deactivation penalty…), but even those unique processes quickly become “fun and relevant” only in concept, rather than practice.
You can still exploit alt jobs for some semi-decent gil via crafted gear right at where they’re most likely to run into bottlenecks. Dungeon-levelers will usually pay up, especially if they get unlucky on an odd level.
Well, I haven’t quit WoW yet, but I am playing other MMOs alongside it, with PSO2 being one of them I’m focused on 
.
I just started so I can’t say much about the game as a whole yet, but I’m already enjoying the combat and unique classes in that game. It’s the only MMO I’ve played that lets you do air combos, has timed attacks for extra DPS, and swapping out your weapon changes your attack abilities.
I figured the same could be said about profs in any game, from my experience. Though in some other games nowadays, everyone is capable of some form of DEing, rather than having a dedicated prof to do so.
I’m currently leveling profs in FF and I haven’t had issues making bank selling mats on the AH. I’ve also crafted XP food for people leveling alt classes, plus mogging/glamour in that game is a big market due to the variety of options, with a lot of them being craftable. When I was looking for a pair of craftable shades (purely cosmetic) for my set, it averaged 400k due to the rarity of one of the mats.
I’m over here just enjoying my Nintendo Switch… waiting for Bravely Default II… 
You must have played when those cutscenes could be skipped. They can no longer be skipped.
The post would seem to indicate that you can skip cutscenes except for MSQ roulettes, which is accurate.
I dunno, the speedrunners rejoice line makes me think otherwise.
The first part was a direct statement with exceptions for skipping
the second part was probably just general comment that you can skip most of them if you want to.
I think.
There is a way to skip them but the FFXIV speed run community has that as against the rules. You can not actually skip those cutscenes anymore, nor can you watch them outside of the MSQ roulette like all the other cutscenes.
We’ve established that extensively, most notably by the guy who you quoted
Yes and there was a time when they could be skipped and contextually speaking his post seems to indicate that you still could. And when you could, you’d never see them as a new player.
I shouldn’t have continued to argue this because it’s really not helpful - I’ll just say that I was not confused at all by that person’s post and believed that he meant those two could not be skipped, which is accurate.
I don’t really think it’s important if you could skip them in the past, because you can’t anymore, not without weird disconnect tricks which isn’t something a first timer is going to pursue anyway.
Yea and unless you and your friend are on the exact same quest at the exact same time they are sharded.
Yea hate to break it to you but all the voice acting and world building means nothing when the average RP on that game amounts to the kind of RP you would find in the Lion’s Pride Inn on Moon Guard.
I’ve had a whole different experience then you in FFXIV immersion, I’m not talking about roleplaying-RP…I’m talking about how the story makes you feel and how characters carry into the future and change over time.
Was simply explaining that story and world building only really majorly affect the RP communities and was explaining why FFXIV will never be able to capitalize on it.
This other poster basically described the kind of community that makes up FFXIV:
Now why would anyone want to interact with people like that?
I don’t know about you, but when I reference “RP” in FF14, it’s regarding my character relative to the game world, the NPCs, and the main story.
Interaction with other players isn’t it.
Well most of the RP that happens in MMORPGs be they WoW for FF14 is between players.
Dude and thats just parts of it.
Do you know what “Auctions” are that go on in player housing?
Literal events where players characters are auctioned off as sex slaves. Yo wat lol
I’m from an RP server and there ain’t no RP happenin on Feathermoon tbh
