Fracture should be everyone's right, and they should get it just like everyone gets sprint.

Frankly it shatters my verisimilitude that not everyone can Fracture. Surely the Warrior of Light is capable of breaking some bones with a cane or hardcover book just as they can with a sword or axe.

Let me tell you guys a fun story. So with my static we cleared A12S right before the new year. After that we kept clearing it every week and my weapon never dropped. Valentine's felll on what would have been our 8th week so some people were out traveling, being with their lovey doveys, etc. so we waited until monday next week so we could be all together. During that weekend the fanfest happens, a new anima quest is announced. We get our 8th clear and page, still no weapon but everybody in my static insists that I should wait until next week and the new anima step and that it would be stupid for me to buy the weapon for my main job now, and to save it for another job. But the main thing I play in the game is WAR and I don't play any other job nearly as seriously. I was already mad before that right when I'm able to get my raid weapon an anima step that makes it better gets slapped in my face invalidating all the work I put into raiding. While I'm making my mind about getting it for DRG or BRD I do other stuff in the meantime and BOOM, 9 days later YET ANOTHER weapon gets slapped in my face that renders the raid weapons even more obsolete and now I'm like "why should I even bother with buying one anymore?" And to add more insult to injury there's the method of acquisition. It doesn't have anything to do with skill or time invested. It's ABSOLUTE LUCK. It's winning the lottery. HOW DOES SUCH A METHOD MAKE SENSE? And the only "effort" it takes is how long are you willing to afk inside the diadem. I'm gonna quote Xeno on this (watch at the timestamp) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/127571027?t=39m34s And when I look back and see other bad decisions by the dev team like completely removing chat from a pvp mode that requires team coordination then I can see how things are going downhill, dumbing everything down and adding painful grinds / many layers of RNG to make it justifiable. Sorry, but that's not the game I want to play anymore.

I love that slap in the face is basically a meme they don't know they're using at this point.

quote:Yoshida also addressed the idea of adding emotes such as allowing characters to smoke or drink. He personally wants to add these things (it is important to note that Yoshida, at the time of our interview, had a pack of cigarettes on him), but it may cause certain issues with the ESRB rating if players can voluntarily take part.

On the other end of the spectrum - does the "cutscenes during the main story quest" go away in HW? Just ran the final mission in the base ARR scenario (7th Umbral quests), and only fought half the bosses because the second tank decided cutscenes are awful and so are every skippable trash mob. By the time I watched the cutscene, even with skipping through text as fast as possible, the boss room would be locked out so I'd watch from the sidelines. Sure, I can re-run it now and skip all the cutscenes, but it seems like awful dungeon design to let people start bosses without half the team, or to put in minutes long cutscenes mid-battle. Or is the answer going to be - skip every cutscene and watch the videos on youtube afterward?

After ARR they wised up and the vast, vast majority of cutscenes are now triggered when you accept/complete a quest, or when you exit from a dungeon by clicking the portal thing.

Surely they can just say players are drinking seawater, it worked for DBZ. And for smoking it can be some fake narcotic, much like how Fallout renamed morphine to med-x

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Cleric stance is an annoyance at best, and it's probably the main reason you see honest healers as a thing in FFXIV. They probably got punished super hard by losing a tank because they misused cleric stance, so they took it off their bars or set it aside so they'd have to click it specifically and only do that when they're soloing. No, I'm pretty sure that most honest healers never even tried stance dancing.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah, whenever I do play PvP on my BLM and its Ice time, I actually just start throwing out sleeps as fast as I can instead of damaging the ice. Sure 1 BLM can do a lot of damage, but I can do more "damage" by putting a player to sleep for 6-8 second every 2 seconds. (nevermind throwing out the AoE sleep on a bunched up group) Unless they changed it, this is exactly what casters should be doing because they do less damage to ice than physical DPS, like 50% less. So definitely cc enemies and snipe kills instead.

Normally I just sleep the casters cause they stand at a distance and are easier to target individually.

Primetime posted:On the other end of the spectrum - does the "cutscenes during the main story quest" go away in HW? They realized the mistake after 2.0. Now all of the cutscenes happen either before the dungeon starts or after it ends so that people who don't wish to participate can just exit the duty. FFXIV has its flaws, but the developers do listen and learn and try. I feel like "Please do Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium with your friends" should be in the OP.

ImpAtom posted:Man, the boss fight at the end of the Heavensward MSQ oooowns. You need to do the Bard version, its even better. Either way, its amazing they managed to take a famous summon animation sequence and create a fairly accurate boss battle out of it (right down to the screen/glass shatter).

A: I do remember this! We talked about this here at PAX East last year. Our process for the Hyur and Roegadyn is done. The other races, we were working on it, but now we’re focused on developing Stormblood so it’s on hold at the moment. I’m sure the person in charge of that may be watching and had a realization like “… oh!” I did get to review the one for the Hyur and it was pretty nice, it was pretty sexy.

Maybe a Q&A is not the best place to do it but I would say trying to make people over there aware that they have really bad customer service is probably a good thing, and maybe a little more important than whatever other lovely questions people were gonna ask

the customer service is really loving awful, but there's approximately a 0% chance that yoship has any real sway over that, especially westerner's customer service.

Any real questions about meaty expansion content would be answered with vague deflections. Yoshi only chooses questions that he's okayed to answer in terms of development and marketing. We'll get demos and patch notes when they are officially released.
