The WrA FFXIV Thread

The new DC announcement has me confused as a long-time WoW player.

So you’re telling me that you’re…investing in growth? That you do things for your community? You actually spent money to make the experience of an entire group of players better?

What kind of witchcraft is this? Investment? Community requested races? A passionate game director? These are the ravings of fools…!

God, what a fantastic opening. I’m looking forward to the rest of the weekend and enjoing playing with everyone.

Still shocked by boybuns. It is a lot of work to add new races and genders, significantly more than in WoW. The fact they did it because the community wanted it just speaks so many volumes.

Time to take a break for a few before hopping back in game. Hope everyone has a great FanFest!

Just need to leave this here: I love the Reaper concept. It was actually what I imagined the last two months since the shirt. A reaper/scythe class that is very void/necromancy themed and has an undead minion to fight with. Basically a DK 2.0. I’m very happy with what I saw, and seven Hells, those animations are smooth. The last six seconds in that Reaper reveal video…

Convenient link. OBVIOUS SPOILERS

I’m leaving this here since this is pretty much my guild’s reaction right now.

And with that it’s off to bed for me to watch some more panels tomorrow. It’s 4:30 AM and I am tired. Happy remaining Fan Fest evening, everyone.

Even in it’s current “Early Westwood Studios CGI textures” state, I am excited for the new areas.

And was that ZEAL in the floating islands?! If they somehow tie in Chrono Trigger, I will literally weep joyful tears

Just wait until new players see Koji in his peak Ska attire

I passed out and went to sleep before they announced male viera. Catboys are about to be an endangered species :stuck_out_tongue:

Standing around as a squeaky new Anu Ra

I have no idea what is going on, and I’m deliberately not watching any trailers out of fear for story spoilers.

Not FanFest, but rather AAR ranting.

Hype up Primal Fight.
Hype up the danger.
Need to locate information.
Get the run around by a fraud.
Get pointed to the real deal.
Now being tasked with heading all over the continent on naff fetch quests.
Rage Quit the game.

I know the story gets better. Y’all have told me as such. But holy crap is this TEDIOUS. I was invested in the upcoming Titan Fight but the minute this yahoo tells me to head to the Shroud, all desire for forward progress HALTS. Even with the Teleport system, these quests are reminding me of the worst aspects of the Vanilla WoW questing experience.

I’d only finished ARR’s story about a month before they made the announcement that they were going to streamline things get rid of about 100 of those filler quests.

I can’t blame you, I pretty much did the same my last time through. Take a few days off, but I still want to see your reaction to what happens after the Primal fight.

Been attending some events hosted by Xaelan(sp?) RPers (the Au ra with black scales) and their culture seems rather similar to how I always headcannoned uncorrupted orcs would be before Warlords of Draenor torpedoed everything.

Both were based prettily heavily on Asian steppe cultures. Chiefly the Mongols. But yeah, it’s amazing how different things can seem with just a bit of framing.
