I know this board is Jp but going on japanese server to make everyone happy will be troublesome for other things , so do we choose by from a server where people are not willing to leave ? then those have to speak now aswell

If you're considering to resub for the jp company , when will you able to do it ?
So we dont build up something that will last 4 days hoping for people to finaly come

So we have 2 servers and someone not willing to buy the game for the 3 starter , this is already a problem , we can consider we only have 1 since it's either one server or the other , and i don't think anyone will buy a game for someone else , i'm okay with starting a new char so we have two people i guess regardless of the server decision , i guess we should decide on a minimum number to start the thing aswell , i guess 10 would be good , 8 is enough for raid but i believe there will be problems sometimes or people not intersted at all in that aspect of the game or whatever

I got to the point where I was only logging in for the beastmen dailies (fucking why) and roulette. I got all my crafts to 50, got WHM and SCH to 50, was in a FC that got a house and never even bothered with Coil. I forced myself through the main scenario and by the end I just wanted it to end, fuck. I usually actually pay close attention to the stories in games, but somewhere after the Titan story arc I just started skipping them all because I knew it was just going to be a series of item/person fetching.

I even tried leveling up Lancer so I could get Blood for Blood (so I could play Bard or Monk or whatever) and I didn't make it past 30, rotations are so fucking boring. I don't know how people do it, at least healing is reactive. Scripted encounters also got very old very quickly.

Maybe I'm just permanently burned out on MMOs, after playing XI from NA PC launch to shortly after Adoulin launch. I sincerely hope you guys have more fun than I did, I think the potential is there at least.

Yeah, I realize it's financially successful I meant in terms of not being a shit game that panders to casuals. Basically all of the elements that made XI interesting are gone: the overworld content sucks, the crafts are meaningless, instancing with randoms totally ruined any other communal aspect that was left. Basically all the interesting mechanics FFXI had that necessitated forging relationships with other people and thereby create an interesting world have been smashed. Thinking about it suddenly makes me feel sentimental, like I'm the member of some indigenous tribe who has realized his culture died.

The overworld cotent is pretty fun and engaging later on. How are the crafts meaningless when they provide you a means of supplying yourself and others with equipment, or food? and there is still a communal aspect if you actually go out looking for it. I've had no problem making firends with people on there and having light and full parties for instance content without randoms. I think you are just being an old salty dog and living in the past too much. Yes times have changed the MMO market to what you're seeing now but less complex doesn't mean it's inherently worse or any less fun.

You have to realise that FFXI and FFXIV are two completely different games designed for two completely different periods of time. Just because the FFXI formula worked and everyone loved it (myself included) does not mean it'd be successful today, especially when they had already fucked up the first release of FFXIV and all hopes lied on a successful reboot. A lot of players these days (or 'casuals' as you so put) don't want to spend 5 hours a day LFG to get an exp party nor do they want to sit around camping NMs for days on end just for the chance of a drop.

Crafting has its use and each patch brings in more stuff for endgame crafters to get their hands on.There's hunts in the overworld now. There's a party finder which most people use since the DF for English servers is terrible. SCOB cannot be done via DF and has you either seeking a static or a FC. There's plenty of chances for you to team up and meet people on your server, you just don't have to wait around for days to get a fucking group to level anymore.

>panders to casuals.

I played FFXI for years ago and it was great. It is a fact that I'm now not a student and don't have the time to play 8-12 hours a day anymore so I'm now effectively a "casual", but there is still no way I'd spend now precious free time on a shitty rehash of WoW with an FF skin. (I would gladly spend an hour a day on a spiritual successor to XI though)

So please, don't insult casuals. What this game panders to is retards (just look at the generals on /vg/), teenagers and Japanese people who've never experienced WoW or its spawn.

I'm the same way with how I'd rather spend my time if I'm going to play an MMO. There were plenty of older players in XI too who chose to play that game in short bursts even over WoW when that eventually came out. I even had one of them come back shortly after WoW's launch and say they didn't like how shallow it was; it just felt cheap to them.

>>12270371
I left ARR even though I had an absolute blast in chat with the people I met. The game was just so terrible that I couldn't stomach logging in and doing another round of roulette and dailies on the six days out of the week we weren't farming coil and EX primals.

For me it felt like there was zero sense of urgency in the story. I mean nobody seemed to mind that the primals were being summoned, they just wanted me to get their cat out of a tree over and over.

I think the biggest issue in the story was repetition. Go to a place for the story, do a million favors for the locals until you *finally* gain their trust, and hours later you may or may not be rewarded with a new dungeon or primal fight. Fuck Ala Mhigans, fuck the company of heroes, fuck Sylphs and fuck those witch-hunting faggots living in Coerthas.

I honestly hope Levi drowns the entire damn world.

Another thing I miss was that the races in XI felt very distinct. In XIV, everyone talks the same and the world is very homogenized, which I guess is what they were going for. It just felt the same wherever I went in the game, and while Limsa is beautiful, I ended up regretting starting in Gridania. It's so damn plain. I'm in no way saying XIV has to be XI 2.0, but I miss my rhyming midgets, you know?

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I won't lie, I had fun for a while too. I started the game with three other friends, and we played the entire game together.

Basically all crafted equipment is inferior to what can be more easily attained questing and food is too weak to not be a waste of time. Basically anything resembling a economy between players in the game has been gutted.

Notice how the only thing to do with other people is instance content. It's barely even an MMO, since everything outside instances is bullshit. You can make friends in any online game; what was supposed to set mmos apart was having a world in the background that facilitated large scale exchange relations and cooperation beyond small groups of friends. And that's exactly what's missing. You can literally play xiv as if there's no one else in the world and it wouldn't make a significant difference.

Both the race writing and the art direction were fantastic in XI. I've really never been a fan of Yoshida's art and was pretty upset when they announced he'd be doing XIV because I don't think he's cut out to do MMOs; his take on the XI races was just disappointing. Meanwhile, Aiba's stuff is still magical.

FFXIV's problem is that the story starts out slow and has you doing a lot of pointless shit when you really shouldn't. The whole thing with Titan and having to run around doing shit for a bunch of people before actually going to fight him was really annoying... but you can't deny that your first time through CM/Prae wasn't stupidly fun and genuinely exciting. Seeing Ultima with that music playing for the first time still gets pumped to this day.

>>12270485

This is all down to the localisation team and honestly each race has their own quirks. Most Miqote are walking balls of innuendo, a lot of Lalafell have a thing for being top tier jews, that kind of thing. It's not quite as in your face as what XI had it but it's still there. Oh, you can change your Grand Company too so it's not like you're stuck with Gridania.

>Basically all crafted equipment is inferior to what can be more easily attained questing and food is too weak to not be a waste of time. Basically anything resembling a economy between players in the game has been gutted.

i90 crafted equipment with correct melds is fantastic and saves you blowing sol on gear. Crafted gear for people levelling is also great for a few reasons: It can be broken down into materia (which sells for quite a chunk of money if you get lucky with what materia type you get) and it does not rely on drops whatsoever.

Any FC/static worth a damn will also be using food for end game content because that shit becomes a decent boost to your character for 30 minutes which also persists through death. Accuracy is a very important stat and food supplements that quite significantly. It also boosts your other stats a fair amount too so a tank will be getting an extra few hundred health on top of extra parry, a healer will be getting extra det for bigger heals on top of more health etc.

I found this game extremely boring. Especially the main quest.

The dungeons were cool but I'd rather fight more than 4 mobs at once. I liked TERA where you can pull like 200 mobs at once and still beat them because every class has a lot of aoe.

I also never grasped the aggro mechanics. You can flash and provoke all you want but if a monster decides to stick on your healer then there is nothing you can do about it.

This game is only good for erp

Anonymous Thu Jul 17 02:32:12 2014 No.12274020

>>12273970
The game gets harder at endgame.

3-4 mobs per pull is normal. At level 50 speed runs pull half the dungeon and aoe's them down. That's only if you're overgeared, though.

Git gud. The game even gives you an aggro bar to show everybodys aggro. Also, provoke doesn't build any aggro, it just puts at the top of the list.

ERP is what /vg/ does.

Castrum and Prae were lame for me, because by that point I wanted it all to end. The amount of cut scenes in those dungeons was pretty ridiculous, too. I actually got to heal for Pharos before it got nerfed, and that was easily my favorite dungeon. Too bad it was impossible to get people to do it, but I guess people want their tokens.

As far as the different races, it's just very, very weak in XIV. They took the easy way out and basically made the Sun Seekers the hookers of the game and there are barely any Moon Keepers at all. I know their home was glassed by the Garleans but jesus. Compared to the Mithra, especially in WotG (worst expansion ever content wise, but the story was very good, and it's fun to see the good and bad parts of every race), the Mi'qote are so boring. Hell, everyone is boring. I get that Hyurs have weak immune systems so they're more susceptible to chigoes, for example, but it's like they write these things and throw them away, never to be used again.

And yeah, our FC GC was Maelstrom, but my personal GC was Twin Adder because it felt the most fitting from my character's perspective. I spent a lot of time in all of the cities, doing all the quests, maxing my crafts and doing the GC supply missions.

Is your healer using Regen wrong? It's very different aggro-wise from XI, and I've seen a ton of healers eat dirt because of when they decided to cast it. It builds enmity with every tick now, so if your healer is casting it right before a pull, well...

Overhealing also causes more enmity I believe so there's that to consider too. That and there's provoke, stuns and cover for situations like that..

We could have gained about 7000 at this point, minus (at the very least) 2600 for your 'multiple weapons' which leaves 4400. 825 body/legs, 495 every other slot, 375 accessories, it takes well over a few thousand to gear ONE job give or take a few hundred depending on if you get unwanted loot from SCOB or use the mog necklace and/or the Ramuh ring. If you're gearing multiple jobs, which I assume you are since you purchased multiple weapons, I don't see how you're "drowning in the trash".

Can we make moogle the official unofficial (european) /jp/ server?

We don't have to make a company right now or anything.

Since it seems everyone is quite scattered and already settled, we could decide that just for the future, we can direct new players in future threads to moogle and if you decide reroll you can do it on moogle.

That way we'll slowly congregate /jp/ on one server and maybe in the future we can start something? It'll be easier to play together, too, even if there's no company.

It's just an idea.

I picked moogle 'cause I started playing today and ended up on that server, I don't know if maybe there's better alternatives or if there is much difference between the worlds.

Another thing I found with early-game instances is that gladiators kind of suck with enmity generation vs level synced party members.

Though easiest way most say to counter that is to literally flash about 2 or 3 times, then rotate flashes with the Fast blade->Riot blade combo. Though this is less of an issue with Rage of Halone at 26.

I should add that the character just sits there with the name at level 12, taking up the slot so no one else can use it. I've run across a Patchouli Knowledge, while playing on my hyur midlander main, that didn't have properly colored hair, though she was a scholar.

Average French player's logic

1. I need to run this instance and fast, I better tick J E D F for a quick queue time even though I only speak French but who cares
2. I don't know what to do but I'm sure I will get carried by the rest of the team
3. OMFG these noobs aren't carrying me I'm going to give them a piece of my mind "putain noooob nooob baguette"
4. Repeat until you get carried through the instance of choice or find other Frogs who will explain things for you

You can always tell who the French players are in CT and ex Primals because the only word they know is "noob"

Moogle isn't as bad as you guys are making it out to be. The french are there, sure, but there's plenty of Spanish etc. too, it is a European server after all. Overall I'd say most players speak English and I've personally had no issues playing on Moogle from day one. Expecting a European server to be 100% ONLY English is just plain stupid.

Our points focused more on the attitudes of those non-English speakers.

It's a pain in the ass to have players who can't co-operate because of a language barrier in instances where team-work and knowing the play-style is key.

If they search DF with JEDF, they are a pain. I for one had that issue a lot on Moogle, whereas on Odin I have faced that about 2 times since I made the switch many months ago.

My second character is on a JP server (Masamune) from when the NA ones were crapping themselves during beta and it really is a complete non-issue whether you speak Japanese on the more international popular ones, particularly with the way duty finder works. During NA hours the chat was mostly English.

Think the game has some sort of cross-language communication feature built in as well.

Pretty much. All that's left now are the dregs that will never ever beat anything harder than story primals and complain that dungeons are too hard and need nerfing resulting in the gay as fuck no mechanics theme park shite that was 2.3 "hard" mode dungeons... and the people who bought the game too late to get through with the non-shitters.

The only hope for getting through garu/titan/ifrit now is either getting 7 friends to do it with you or hoping they add an ex primal roulette and nerf the 1 shot mechanics.

Hunts are a mess. It's just using 3rd party apps to find the targets and then waiting for half the server to show up so it can die in 10 seconds. Plus all the lag from having 100 people gathered around one monster.

I wish they didn't adds sands of time as a reward. Hunts might actually be fun if they weren't being zerged all the time.

My tip for hunts are basically.

>Hunting in groups.
>Joining the right Linkshells for calls.
>Early morning and late night hunts = Best.

Only meet up for S ranks if theyre spawned else hunt in the morning time and late night times, you'll have it much better at that point.

I know. The only way to do hunts efficiently is with a group.

On my server there are about 5 major hunt LS's and I was surprised that even at 4am there were still a lot of people doing hunts.

I just hate what hunts turned into and it's not worth the effort to me. Hunts are basically:
>"[Name] is up at [location]!"
>"Okay wait for us, we're on our way"
>everyone starts gathering (it seems like half the server sometimes)
>10 minutes later
>"Okay pull at :55"
>:55 hits and 50+ people jump on one monster
>Oh god, I can't tell what's going on. Am I hitting it? I think I'm hitting it
>5-10 seconds later it's dead

And god forbid someone pulls before everyone has gathered. The rage in chat is hilarious and scary at the same time.

It's kind of funny, some guy did a comparison of a 2.3 cutscene with that crazy guy in Dragonhead. In Japanese he sounds batshit crazy and your character is like "the fuck?" with zoom ins on his face in the cutscene etc but in English he sounds completely dull and your character just starts making faces at him for no reason while the camera just stands still.

You mean like how spells are Fire, Fire II, Fire III in English instead of Fire, Fira, and Firaga because the localization team thought players would be too retarded to understand them if they went with the traditional FF naming scheme?

If it followed the traditional naming scheme Firaga and the -ga would be reserved for aoe spells, and Fire 1-4 would be single target spells(and I guess Fira too). It's kind of weird that they went that way for the japanese version. They should have just called Fire 2 Firaga. It might get weird when they eventually start adding new spells.

I'll make a character wherever a ls/fc is made, though I'd prefer to be on Asura.

You definitely waste less time on the duty finder because the players are generally competent, but finding people to play with otherwise is more difficult because of the language barrier. So personally I'd prefer playing wherever /jp/sies play, but that's just my preference.

Japanese tend to care more about not inconveniencing others so they usually do their best in duty finder while people on the NA server don't give a fuck.

That said, at endgame, communication is pretty important in fights. The language barrier would be a pretty big problem and from my experience with FFXI, the Japanese tend to see us english speakers the same way we see BR's/spanish/russians/french/whatever speakers. In other words as annoying, rude, and unskilled. Of course not all of them are like that but you get the idea.

Also, I would worry about the lag to Japanese servers since latency is also important in endgame fights. Just a couple of things to consider if you're going to put time into playing on a Japanese server.

Read the posts regarding it in this thread. It being "the unofficial French server" means very little when the vast majority of the player base speaks and uses English not to mention that the vast majority of the top linkshells on the server are English (along with a handful of other languages like Spanish). You're on a European server. You're going to get European languages. Absolutely shocking, I know.

You could try /ota/ or #hotglue, I think they're the most active, maybe tohno-chan, but all the spin offs aren't exactly thriving either. Besides then people here will tell you to go back to those sites

As for the population it might be a few things, like the touhou boom is subsiding too, other boards were made to cater to various interests, changes in moderation, people got bored of the same old threads and autism, or they just grew up and moved on.

/vg/ really does take a big chunk out of what used to be /jp/ territory. Like this thread. Kind of.

Plus you have stuff that should technically be on /jp/ but has been shitposted so hard nobody wants to associate with it here anymore. Actually also kind of like this thread.

This. /jp/ mmo players just dealt with it and moved to /vg/. /jp/'s population nowadays are warosu shitposters who want to ruin the board, idol/kig/av faggots, and those people who keep posting the same touhou and idolm@ster threads without any sort of actual discussion.

Actually a third thing is that a lot of stuff found acceptance after people saw how much /jp/ liked it. /v/ stopped hating on VNs and doujin games as much, /a/ talks about idolm@ster and stuff again, so really it's kind of merging back into the rest of the boards.

That's due to moderation actually being effective enough to rid the shitposters constantly flooding the boards with stupid images of saten and shit in those times.

Also hotglue's kind of stigmatized /jp/ playing things together because of it becoming a circlejerk clan over time instead of being a name for /jp/ mmo group.

I doubt that 2/3 of all posts on /jp/ ever were just trolls and now they're all quality posters ... I think it's more like there are a lot of angry autists here that throw tantrums if they don't get their way ... A lot of topics became banable and migrated to other boards, and on the new boards that now get more posts than /jp/ there are people that advocate splitting it up even more

Just skimming over the catalogue and it looks like over half of /jp/ is just character worship and waifu general... Kinda sad really but if people just come here to post about their waifus now that means not enough people to do fun things

That's the thing. DPS and healers are very much taxed on this fight like in Mog EX and from past experience, the former's mental capacities are incapable of picking up unneeded orbs while dodging bolts and killing adds.

When you're in a pug with 7 other strangers, it tends to be a crapshoot.
