First
Second since they hid my first.
I think it would've been interesting if instead of drip feeding you the mobs on the boat, they kept adding the mobs, even if you weren't done with the first ones, to entice you to dps faster so you wouldn't get over run with enemies
The pronouncing of names is gold 😂
Honestly even the launch trailer for Dawntrail looked better than current game
My main concern with viper is that it's going to be too popular, because I've realised that's the job I would have chosen for my main character had it been available, instead I went with Lancer/Dragoon as my main starting job. Now I'm worried are we going to have a lack of tanks and healers because so many will wanna play viper. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
It would be a boring dungeon if you could just rush through the dungeon with a giant pack of mobs behind you. Why even design the environment if you're not gonna pay attention to it just to rush through the dungeon as fast as possible?
Thanks for the efforts!
Gotta disagree with the thumbnail right off the bat. As someone who started playing an almost 10 year old FFXIV during 5.x I never once thought it looked all that good.
Easier than reaper!? Is that even possible?
With the new gfx and features, NPCs looking different, all that, I gotta admit, I might just start fresh with a new character, for Dawntrail.
it's dat feeling when dalamud is down XD
Another pox on journos. Their job is to convey how something plays and feels without spoiling specifics. They fail at this as they do at everything else.
it's time to put the old gal down and start fresh. We're literally playing a PS3 game in 2024. Why? Why can't we have a fresh Final Fantasy MMO with good graphics and better gameplay?
Truly the best house spot!
Was there any other updates on Zeplas Inability to resub? Or is she still in limbo?
TBH if viper just feels like a faster samurai then I'm sold. I've been considering main-playing as samurai this expansion but I do kind of get bored with the constant GCD counting. I mained MCH in Endwalker so outside of monk and playing black mage in the lower level queues everything seems pretty easy.
I'm probably an outlier in thinking that pictomancer's animations just aren't for me. Too bright, doesn't really make sense in a gritty 3d world, silly weapon.
FFXIV has never looked good in a modern graphical sense, and it still won’t after the update. It’s an MMO. Graphics are the last aspect of this genre of game. They will, however, look substantially better.
Unfortunately, no one can be…told…what the crust is. You have to see it for yourself
I wish they would let us switch between the graphical update and what it is now. My gaming pc wont handle the new graphics at 60 fps even at the worst settings except resolution (i refuse to lower the hertz because then its stuck at 30 fps.)
Would've been cool to have the link to the article…
I don’t think it’s gonna look that much better tbh, especially during fights when everything including yourself is trying to blind you.
I can't afford to buy the expansion at the moment but I'm hoping I can still experience the new upgrade without it for time being
I can tell you were all the story npcs were while they were playing. They were in the throne room peeking out the door to see how you guys were enjoying the media tour 😉. Taking things seriously though I am glad they didn't spoil anything for you guys.
This is like the inverse reaction I had going from 1.0 to ARR, and seeing how, yeah, everything Zepla was pointing out in this video… Has kinda looked like shit since ARR's release. It was even worse, in fact, because HW added some reflections. When ARR came out, everything had this weird plasticky look, and yeah, ARR also sapped all the color as well, you have to use reshade to get some contrast back because, for some reason, the game looks like there's wax paper in front of the camera. It feels so good to finally regain some of the visual quality back, and it's so validating to see people see the upgrade now, look at the current game and finally realize, because back then people wanted to freaking crucify you if you said that the visuals got worse. ARR felt like a generational leap backwards and we're finally getting a fix.
Hell, the dungeon design has been the same shit since then, too. I miss having challenging and more intricate 8 man dungeons where speedruning them was actually a challenge and you'd get extra rewards for pulling stuff off. The dungeon "package" might be really efficient time and budgeting wise, but goddamn is it stale.
May have to run Prae to see what Gaius' scuffed old PS3 textures look like with the update.
I don't care about the graphics update. I want more customization options for characters. Faces. Hair. Scars. Makeup. I mean yeah mods, but those will be broken for a while because of this dumb update.
