Even in the older ones where the gameplay is a bit tedious they're still very unique and memorable. I've played them all and had a good time.

Yoko Taro doesn't make fun games, he makes games with weird and evocative stories that occasionally also happen to be fun as a result of someone else's work. So he's perfect for making some FFXIV raids, since they've already got people that know how to make rad boss fights for him.

jalapeno_dude posted:So do you people actually find Yoko Taro games fun or is it just some weird death cult thing? I found both Nier and Nier Automata to be fun. They had their faults, but in general I had fun with both (though route B really tried my patience in automata). Drakengard 1 and 3 are the 2nd and 3rd worst games I've ever played though, behind ff14 1.0.

Yikes, really? Glad to see my first experience with an MMO in over a decade is to sit around hitting refresh every three minutes until something maybe happens.

The servers have been pretty congested lately, due to the surge before the expansion. It also feels like they're pushing people to the new datacentre so the caps are artificially low on the big 2. A friend of mine managed to make a character a few days back, so if you try off peak hours you should have something open up.

On the one hand I'd like to play with goons, on the other hand sitting here clicking refresh every three minutes is making me feel like an idiot for buying this at all. The idea that I should stay up until the middle of the night to finish character creation is pretty funny though. What are the peak hours?

There's no point doing this, the server availability refreshes at set times. I believe the server status refreshes every 6 hours and I think those times are 8 pm, 2 am, 8 am, and 2 pm. May be wrong on this, but I'm not having any luck digging up the actual times.

I probably wouldn’t be trying that hard to make a new character right this instant given that the game is going to be down for all of Thursday and the servers are almost certainly going to be hosed on Friday and probably a few days after that. Especially if it’s a brand new character starting at level one. I thought they changed which worlds were congested/preferred with new patches, so maybe there’s a chance Excal won’t be congested after 5.0. I’m glad the game’s getting so many new players, although I’m sure it’s annoying having to deal with all these restrictions when you’re just trying to get started.

If I want to play the HW jobs this weekend and I'm level 46 now, should I just buy the ARR skip once I hit 50? I'm sure some of the 100 quests in the Astral Era are cool and all, but DRK and MCH seem cooler.

I'm sure some of the 100 quests in the Astral Era are cool and all, but DRK and MCH seem cooler. I mean if you want to play one of them, it'd be smarter to just buy the level skip potion for one of them it seems and then do the other once you've gotten further in the story.

Even that is no longer true. The new server status page they put up (found here) updates in relatively close-to realtime now. It's just that they lowered the "we're full!" cutoffs to try and shape traffic towards the less-populated Crystal. It sucks, but keep trying, the goon support network WANTS TO HELP.

The Nier raids are definitely 100% guaranteed to be pure bullet hell where touching any of the bullets results in instant death However, only one person will need to survive so everyone else can eat dirt while one player survives the dance of death

I’ve never played automata so I don’t have much hype for it. I just hope it’s better integrated than the Ivalice raids. Usually when 14 takes something from a previous FF game it manages to integrate it into the game and it’s lore pretty dang good, but for some reason the Ivalice/FFT stuff felt really clunky in how it was done.

I loving hate Nier Automata. There. I said it. Route B's combat singlehandedly ruins the game for me, though it got better once I begrudgingly started using a controller and tapped into all those accumulated hours of Geometry Wars. But I eventually pushed through and am almost done beating the drat thing not because I'm having fun, but because I'm engaged in the story on its own merits before seeing how they link it to FFXIV.

I really liked Automata. The combat outside of B route mechanics was good but man did I have to just sit down and think after some points. Thank you for the flowers.

SwissArmyDruid posted:I loving hate Nier Automata. I mean, that’s really how you should play every Yoko Taro game. Not having fun but doing it anyway. Automata having good gameplay was kind of a fluke and not in line with pretty much any of the other games he’s done. They’re also all worth playing just on the strength of the unique experience alone. Yoko Taro doing the 24 man and the DRK quest writer leading the writing on SHB has me more hype than any game mechanic could ever get me. It’s going to be a wild ride.

Automata having good gameplay is also because Platinum made it, compared to Cavia for D1/2 and Nier or Access Games for D3. When you have the guys behind Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising making an action game, you get a very good action game.

drat, can't wait to get home so I can unlock Gunbreaker. Too bad I don't get home until mid-july Is there any sort of Discord or anything for the Brynhildr server? I've tried looking, at the very least there used to be one, but, the most recent information I've been able to find about any sort of forum community is over a year old.
