HW on release was still one of the weirdest times in the game's history, because it was one of the only times I can ever remember where DPS bonus was on nearly every roulette for the span of a week.

whatever developer decided that the third set of critical overflow bugs in hello world should resolve two seconds before critical error goes out has earned my undying enmity

keeping the poor dps alive through critical synchronization bug is bad enough. my poor aetherflow stacks

I acknowledge the more relevant explanation that I'm not very good at this video game, but consider this: gently caress you

HW release was hilarious because for a solid month leveling roulette was just Haukke Mannor with a DRK who couldn't tank, an AST that couldn't heal and a MCH that couldn't DPS. It's was nice being in demand.

I'm playing through Stormblood and for the first time I'm actually really mad about how little characterization they allow me. Ninja lady wants to go fight Xenos all by her lonesome? That's a bad idea. I'm sent to go talk her out of it but my only two options are "Hell yeah" and "HELL YEAH!" followed by another 10 minute session of "oh wow look how badass Xenos is you can't hurt him (jerk off motion)" and everyone gets their turn in berating me for being rash.

i'm pretty over silent protagonists. especially when there's no choices you can make, or the choices you're given are basically fake since the same thing happens regardless. i realize doing voice work for a dozen race/gender combos would be a nightmare, but i don't feel like i can insert myself into my character any better just because they don't say anything (nor do i even really want to. i made a character i think looks cool, not one that represents me).

i guess there's no good solution to this and what they've got going is about the best that can be done, but it would be pretty cool to have an FF game where sure the protagonist is like other FF protagonists with a set character with dialogue and such but you got to create their appearance and class.

I would 100% take them just actually writing the WoL as their own character because it would make cutscenes more engaging rather than playing a mute idiot. I'm totally fine with them being unvoiced. I just want them to have some sort of character since they are such a major player in the plot.

This is basically mass effect. But as far as MMO's go, The Old Republic was probably the best in that regard. As everyone is voiced and your minor decisions matter. And there's 8 different storylines.... up until you reach the endgame and everyone gets funneled into a single storyline and it's really clear there's only one story they want to tell and most of your decisions just get to dictate who gets to live to see it and who you get to gently caress.

The WoL does have a character. It’s more pronounced in certain questlines (PLAY DRK) but really the only thing they don’t do is actually give a speech bubble to what the WoL says. Given other people’s reaction to them saying something, though, it’s pretty easy to get the gist of what was said.

Also food for thought, if the WoL wasn’t a big lovable idiot, you’d be simultaneously the best fighter and the smartest person around. The idea behind the story usually revolves around being within a group of people who need each other to solve the problems. If you were as smart as y’shtola then why would you need anyone else, since you can also do the fighting best anyway?

Don't like it? well...

Yeah ever since Heavensward they've been pushing more personality onto the WoL beyond a blank player slate.

It's not a ton but there are very much people they like, dislike, they have their own opinions on things which can be shown in the dialogue options.

Like that bit about the Warrior of Light going along with Yugiri's plan, it's because they wanted another shot at Zenos. Regardless of what you the player wanted.

Every puzzle has an answer.
I appreciate how at this point, between Heavensward, DRK, and a lot of Stormblood, WoL is defined and driven largely by the deaths she's seen. "For those we have lost, for those we can yet save" is a good motto.

Serious answer: All three FCs are more or less the same. The primary difference is that TPT has a formal rule against story spoilers in FC chat, DGKK discourages it if people know that there's a newbie on that would be sensitive to it, and I have no idea about PBC.

SwissArmyDruid posted:

TPT has a fairly comprehensive no-spoilers policy beyond the latest patch, but sometimes we just can't help our enthusiasm when someone hits a major plot beat or crowning moment of awesome.
How do these policies hold with people live-posting reactions to the plot as it occurs, possibly with large amounts of invective and threats of harm towards NPCs who get in my way and send me off to do frivolous busywork while the world is possibly literally about to be destroyed

The Garuda duty was pretty fun. It's a shame that ping/targeting issues would make a fight like that difficult to implement in 4/8-man content. The chain strike thing almost made me wish for skillchains, even though I ought to know better.
