Begemot posted:Well yeah, but this is for the patches, I don't think we're going to Meracydia immediately. It would be cool if we got some new hard mode dungeons for the MSQ this time, stuff that never got it before. personal gut feeling is that we'll be doing stuff with Graha/Krile and Estinien since we know they're going to be in the hub cities for at least the first couple content patches Alternately: this is an anime so make 6.1 the beach episode

Professor Beetus posted:Thanks for the replies. I will assume that I am going to Midgar to be Clouds best friend and if it's anything less I will be disappointed. Not really a spoiler imo, but I'll tag it all the same: the zone 5 dungeon is the first time I felt compelled to use the Trust system

I just finished Zone 5  Game's so good. Professor Beetus posted:As someone whose trying to make it to zones 5 and 6 without spoilers due to how I see goons hyping it up, can anyone tell me without spoilers why it's so :holkyfuck: for people? I feel like based on the goon reactions so far I'm going to go into it with the same kinds of unrealistic expectations that Marvel fans have going into the Spider-Man. you'll know why when you get there

Begemot posted:Weirdly, I've noticed that alliance raids are harder, while 4-man dungeons are easier. I ran Void Ark earlier, and saw phases of those bosses I've never seen before. Actually now that you mention it, I got in an Orbonne Monastery two nights ago and it took forever. I just chalked it up to the alliance not knowing the mechanics but it did seem to take extra long for some of the raid bosses to die. I wonder why that seems to take longer but leveling dungeon bosses seem to die easier?

I imagine they erred more on the side of caution for 4-man dungeons due to them typically being required for MSQ progression.

Crossposting from the Other thread: I have some dumb questions about FFXIV on console (PS4/5 namely) How does it play on a controller? Do you use a separate keyboard or just… forego chatting? Is it cross platform i.e. can I use my normal PC account and hop back and forth between PS4 and PC at will?

Ben Nerevarine posted:Crossposting from the Other thread: It plays extremely well on controller (though some jobs are better than others). When I played exclusively on console I bought a wireless keyboard for when I needed to chat. It is, in fact, cross platform. You have to buy the game + expansion for each platform, but your character will transfer.

Ben Nerevarine posted:Crossposting from the Other thread: Lots of people like it on controller, wasn't to my taste but I can see the appeal. You can chat without a keyboard but it's.. slow so you might want to look into one. You can play the same character on PC and playstation no problem BUT you need to buy the game separately on both platforms.

Thanks for the quick responses! Having to buy it multiple times isn’t ideal but I can understand why that’s the case

From the prior thread:Captain Oblivious posted:I appreciate that we now know without a shadow of a doubt that Dark Knight as a job is most similar to (86 spoilers sorta) Dancer. Dark Knight and Dancer are the two dynamis using Jobs because they rely upon and/or manipulate emotional states. I love this, because it was something I already felt was thematically similar about those two jobs. DRK is fueled on your own angst, DNC is fueled on others'; both are taking something negative and using it in beneficial ways. Seeing which NPCs used DRK and DNC as their own jobs was astoundingly gratifying and a beautiful piece of storytelling.

IcePhoenix posted:personal gut feeling is that we'll be doing stuff with Graha/Krile and Estinien since we know they're going to be in the hub cities for at least the first couple content patches Split the difference. We know Corvus got hosed up by the Terminus Beasts, the worst of ANYWHERE, it's also the original Garlean homeland. There's a non-zero chance that both Island Sanctuary will be there and an ongoing plot of 'Where do we house the tiny fraction of Garleans who actually SURVIVED?'

From the old thread:Bruceski posted:Oh God the music's still here. I get it game, there was a very exciting call to action three hours ago. You can go back to the old music now. I thought finishing the zone would end it. Please, let me botany in peace! If you're a dirty plugin-user like me, the Orchestrion plugin was updated to allow replacing one song with another, or even to disable a specific song or set of songs from playing entirely. It comes with an option to put the currently playing song in the server info block and/or echo the current song to the chat log on song change. You might have to let it use song IDs as not all the songs from Endwalker have public names at this point in time.

Endwalker is good and is a reminder to me that, especially in light of the queue situation, FF14 and its dev team is good despite Square-Enix, not necessarily because of it

Finally, credits. (I plan to go back later and see if there's a frame with less egregious lens flair, but it's sleep time for me now.) My biggest disappointment, as a PLD main, was the lack of GLD class NPCs. Maybe I just missed them, but I didn't see a single one in any of the scenes with the other class and job characters or in the background of other shots, like the RDM and SAM NPCs. On the other hand, the level 89 and level 90 trial boss designs and fights were amazing, the latter in particular. The only reason I only died once on the latter is tank privilege letting me soak the vulns I got from gawking at the presentation. I'm also pretty happy how they wound up handling Zenos. They didn't try to humanize him, just gave you a cool one-on-one fight at max level. I sure wasn't expecting to turn around on Fandaniel as much as I did, though. That was a nice surprise. It doesn't really need to be said again, but I'll do it anyways: game good.

I wait an hour and a half to get to under 1000 in the queue. Then it disconnects, but when I try to reconnect the data center doesn't respond. The second try works but by then I'd lost my spot. That's just... really lovely.  I can deal with 3001 errors not letting me queue at all but kicking me out of line because of connection issues on their end, while I can't even use my TV for hours because I have to act fast if I get disconnected again, sucks.

There's a pretty consistent cycle for every patch, expansions included, where a significant number of people sign back up to play through the MSQ, dither around a little bit after, and then drop the game like a hot rock until the next patch and next MSQ. It might take a week or two, and the holidays will probably skew things more than normal, but it'll have largely normalized by the new year.

Pandaemonium normal might also see a slight rise back up once people who finished the MSQ come back.
