It’s old and I don’t see the new graphics it’s shit!!! The controls are also old classic mmorpg the screen is filled of buttons and writings new mmorpg shouldn’t be like this nobody want to pay and play classic games from another era ppl want new next gen games.

I don't agree on the "you pull it, you tank it"mentality BUT i also find annoying when a dps pull for me. If you want to pull why don't you just play tank instead of a dps?

Man, I just picked up tanking because I like the armor aesthetics compared to DPS, but it sounds like it's just not worth it. You're not wall to wall pulling, why are you wall to wall pulling? You're going too fast, you're going too slow! It's a team effort, you have to let them dictate the pace, but you're the point of the wedge and it all falls on you! If someone runs ahead to pull, they're testing you and want you to grow, but they also think you're a numbnuts, lily livered chump and you've already earned a report. It's Schrodinger's White Mage; the little Lalafell healer's furious, because you're doing the thing and not doing the thing , and both of these are true until you peek inside the Discord server he shares with friends to see what you've done that's made you the worst tank he's seen this month. Miss me with that, I'm going DPS and suckering to the tank's side.

L take

idk the "cat moms" bit felt a bit sexist to me 🤔

From Dawntrail This video aged like milk.

So incredibly cringe. Hope you've had time to go outside, grow up, and gain a bit of self-awareness.

7:24 IDK how many people agree with this but if 51% of the population agree with you then that is because they're prioritizing catering to casual and anti social players. 7:47 OMG yes 13:10 Shots fired, lol. 14:31-15:16 Yes, some people. Thank you for making this.

0:01-0:29 OMG, yeeees. 4:13-4:25 It's insane that they don't see this "logical" fallacy. 5:57 there is not wrong with you liking/preferring to do speed run or slow run in dungeon so long as you're not imposing your pace on others that don't. 6:10 Now that is called controlling the narrative to fit your agenda, you're the type of players who queue for random dungeon instead of first recruiting players who are link mind, who want to do speed run, you choose to impose your playstyle or your pacing. 6:25 Its not a slow run if you're not clearing every room or additional boss in the dungeon so it's not hypocritical if you're the who queue for random dungeon and then try to hijack the normal pacing. 6:47 That's fair. 6:54 That's why I lean toward buy to play business model over free to play or subscription based because we are not going agree whether the content we get every 3 months for the price of 45 bucks is justifiable or not, it's one of the reason why this game is leaking subscribers. 7:32 Lol, silence your heretic (skeletor's voice) 8:49-9:025 Agreed

Well, given the fact Dawntrail is currently getting absolutely shat on from all sides, from the storytelling side, job design etc....I'd say you pretty much nailed it perfectly in your video.

coming back to this video after dawntrail proving literally all his points is amazing

come back the content is harder ( even though you never unsubscribed )

Lmao at making everything being easier. ToP and DSR are by far the hardest content the game has ever hard. All I'm hearing is crying. Anyone who thinks the cross class system was good is delusional. You say you don't like people wearing rose tinted glasses, but you're just looking at it with rose tinted glasses.

As an outsider, reading the comment section of this video is exactly what one would expect when someone says something that isn't glowing positivity through and through about FF14. It's like the community of FF14 just can't help but be a cult.

Lynx during Dawntrail: *fucking explodes*

A completely different viewpoint. Modern FF is very complex. I have only played FF6 and compared to that, simplicity is ruined here. This is not Starcraft 2!! This is RPG!

Who do you mean with "Veteran Players"? I am playing since HW and am fully happy with the game. Granted I am a non-raider and love the Story/Lore so what you meant to say is "This game is not made for us Reaider"? Or who exactly do you mean?

Seethe.

Good guide. I've played tank in other MMOs and 14 was a nice extension of it, till I hit wall to walls. They terrify me. With experience I should get better at it and learn the intricacies, but right now they terrify me, and as A lv 70 DRK Im at the point where I must learn them.

WoW is made for you.

this is not a critic. this is just a nonsensical rant from a very very miserable and bitter person.

I’m with the you pull you tank people. It’s not about ego. It’s about respecting each other’s boundaries. Everyone has a pace they are comfortable with. Some tanks like big pulls but others get stressed out and will thus not have fun even if they are playing warrior. By pulling for them, you are stepping into their boundaries. A good way to do this would be to ask for permission and see if they are familiar with the dungeon and if they are ok with you pulling for them.

Lynx buddy, when I found your channel a few years back I was so stoked that XIV might be getting their equivalent of Preach when he was doing WoW content full time. The path you chose to take since then is just tragic.

damn bruh quit yo bitchin

I just found this video after starting FFXIV recently, and this is still an issue. I was told the main reason to play FFXIV was the MSQ by a FC member. I enjoy these games the same way you do, character progression, challenging myself, not for the story.

Should've stood still and let your guild drama resolve. Bye lmao

I used to play a game that catered only to end game players SO MUCH SO that the newer players couldn't catch up to the meta and no one wanted to have new players in their party finder groups. Only end game players controlled the guilds and would not accept anyone that didn't have the best, current gear. That means new / casual players couldn't join party finder groups, OR guilds in order to clear content. Eventually what happened was the game died and no new players join the game now. I'm just saying, it's not all about the high tier end game raiders and that casual and new players being able to enjoy the game is what helps keep ffxiv alive

Quite glad that this exists, as I have felt myself in the minority of players disliking ff14, specifically for a lot of reasons you named. Although strange that I have found this only now, since I feel like any criticism and show of distaste for the game's current state is being stomped on by the diehard ff fans, who want nothing more than a game filled with unconnected, and barely expanded references to older games. Anyone who really cares, like me for example, although of course people may say I just "do not get it" and "do not have enough taste or understanding of yoshi's and SE's genuis", do not bother giving their advice or opening a discussion to the things the game could be making better, because they'd be instantly dismissed anyway. Just looking into the comment section here disgusts me, seeing the classic "ohweee you insulted those players who literally just use the game as a sequel to second life", and "you play too much, go get a job" completely disregarding everything. The main point of the game being a hefty live service, and requiring another 40$ one time payment every expansion, being not taken into account at all. All for a lackluster experience package. The story, the main selling point all the fans push the game for, being barren and having very little meaningful exposition and things shown on the screen. The characters feeling really flat, with some exceptions, a shitton of plotholes and very weird pacing on things like pandemonium's questline. It was not a complete disaster, but there is a lot of improvement in something that feels like an alpha build of a AAA game, multiple exposition scenes, flashbacks, and more character insight and building being missing. Being required to mostly do speculation on why the protagonists or antagonist on the screen are doing what they are doing. (Zenos receiving absolutely no exposition even now that endwalker ended is an example. As far as people have agreed/assumed, all he is in the story is a tortured-from-childhood by depressed ascian, psychopathic, battle-sexual mess. How that is critically acclaimed writing, not to mention none of this being shown on screen or voiced by the characters in the msq. But he did one funny/epic quote and people cream their pants (assuming they are not fatigued from all the erp). I really like the point you made of SE just moving funds to other games instead of expanding ff14. Have not looked at it in such a way. I did know that SE is a mostly profit driven game developer/studio, especially with the things said about ff16 and its very clear, forced accessibility, auto combo, dodge stuff. And encounter designs and general gameplay flow that reminds me of genshin impact elemental burst spam/cutscene abuse. (Not shitting on genshin impact here, given that it is a mobile game, I did have my fun with it for a couple months after all, and it is actually free, which I commend mihio for on the rare occasion) Back to the point, SE really has not attempted to use the insane money they received from me (I played for like 2 years, that's like 339€ with me having bought endwalker and spending a couple bucks on some overpriced emotes in the shop) and everyone else over the years to perhaps rework the game engine, not just a different renderer (which again is heavily catered towards gposers and the shitton of ff14-character-profile-picture-dudes in discord servers commissioning smut of their character and an entire twitter dedicated to it.) They could have made the game more dynamic, make it snappier, and have some moments of fast paced action, take some aspects and inspiration from action rpgs. Althought you might disagree since you brought up your distaste for making combos 1 button. At the end of the day there are just too many flashy abilities that are just potency sticks with no real creative/situational effects and uses. Just basic rotation 123, and give jobs more skills, auras, mobility spells, supportive spells, anything really to de-stale their "time honored recipe" I have been playing a bunch of Path of Exile recently, and while of course, the game is not really a team oriented raiding game. The snappiness of the gameplay and interesting leveling system and assortment of very distinct classes, builds and abilities really beat the standing still and watching your character poke the enemy in between the 2.1-2.5s gcd skill window. Something I ended up being able to do in my sleep pretty much, requiring no real micro management, and getting absolutely no blood rush out of the gameplay anymore, running savage, and whatnot. The only stimulation I was able to get from ff14, is trying to figure out encounters by myself. But that is not really gameplay, it is just a jiggsaw puzzle activity. Not to mention I was unable to find likeminded individuals, on the NA servers at least (I am from EU but made an account in NA due to a guy on discord), wanting to figure out the encounters themselves without guide help, while still having the mechanical prowess and problem solving to actually complete said savage tier or ultimate in less than 2 months time. And back to the last point I had on my mind. The main thing I hate about ff14 compared to POE is the open world and trash leveling system. Although for a different reason perhaps than you mentioned. The overworld mobs server absolutely 0 purpose, giving basically no exp, fates being boring and uninteractive compared to stuff like bozja, and there being just no point to explore with the world being empty, aside from the frequent gathering bot scripts flying by you. (I won't even get into how tedious I find having to do all the materia shit and HQ crafted gear for every raid tier. And SE literally preventing you from grinding normal raids for the "free" gear by limiting the amount of gearpieces you can get before the first raid week to 2-3.) POE's leveling is literally the hack and slash, mass murder of enemies, zooming through the map (ff14's "maps" insulting POEs "maps" just sharing the same name) all while getting goodies from the drops said enemies have, strongboxes which are guarded by enemies, plenty of game mechs/minigames, which might as well be fates, etc. I am not sure if you read comments, but I thought to give my thoughts as well, and just to say again, I really appreciate that there is someone putting content like this out. I hope you are having fun with other games now, which I assume you do since you play wow. I personally am not returning to ff14 ever most likely, since it is unlikely that anything will ever change, due to SE fear of losing shareholders because of their perceived risk of players disliking change that would make the game more difficult, being too fast, too visually stimulating or whatnot. And just the great amount of rework work that would need to go into keeping old encounters working similarly as they used to be. I for one am putting my apples into GGGs basket for POE 2 which is still in development, since I generally think that those devs, despite their own couple questionable decisions for their game, still seem to be getting more things right than wrong. Well... and poe and most other games are better for my bank account lol, 160€ a year really is not reasonable for this limited content they put out. Take care dude, and mad respect for investing that many hours in the game to begin with.

The main problem of final fantasy xiv is numbers..now you will not agree with me. But if casual player dont see numbers. And anyway somehow he will kill boss with random using spells while he feel cool about it...its not wrong but it will not motivate him to git gud skills with each class to some wall...with wall i mean individual max. Skill where he stop to be better or its hard to learn be more better. Its not about casuals. There is problem if you will let people see numbers how they will react about other players. Sure they will be much more motivated about learn spells correctly in row. They will clear everything faster. But also they will expect this same thing from anyone else. And that will break community. Or not. Its about how it will be made by mechanics of bosses or if there will be reward for hard content or not. How about give people option for each party member to set his own difficulty wich will not be with some reward expect own experience from game and will not harass healer in party ? How about individual scaling. Everyone who like hardcore will scale on some lvl and will get number on buffs/heal from party in same scaling too ? Meanwhile you will sweat blood at keyboard with rotations ( of course there need to be changes in amount of spells on keyboard too ...not like 3 button jobs ) Others casuals in party will be fine and will enjoy their playstyle..... And this is most complicated solution for developers to do. But it will work.

Good Riddance

O GODS HEED MY CALL , WHAT IS THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC PLAYING FROM 1:05 TIL 2:30 PLEASE BESTOW UPON ME THIS KNOWLEDGE!!!!!

I started the game last year, I think a few weeks before this video got posted. I held off watching it til now since I didn't want to potentially bias my opinion more than it already was from having just quit WoW. I'm only just getting to the end of Shadowbringers now, and while I can't speak to everything in this video because I simply haven't done high level content beyond an EX trial here or there, I've definitely noticed a few things on my own that mirror what you talk about here. Class design issues in particular are what stuck out to me. I've gotten a decent number of classes to 80 now, at least one in each role. Despite the general community and all my friends who've already been playing the game for years telling me "it'll get better at 50, it'll get better in 10 levels, etc." I'm still waiting for that to actually happen. Tanks all feel the same as one another, and don't even feel like tanks because they aren't actively managing their survival, just pressing one of a handful of identical defensives in response to a tankbuster. Healers are miserable and I spend 70-80% of the time spamming my one button because there's simply nothing to heal that isn't covered by one of my plethora of free, instant-cast aoe spells. And dps all feel the same in that they get to have fun for 15-20 seconds every 2 minutes then fill that time in-between with boring 1-2-3 spam and an occasional oGCD that just does damage and barely or doesn't at all interact with the rest of the kit, and ONLY if you'd overcap since you really want to save those for the burst. I've looked forward through my spellbook for the classes I got to 80 and basically none of it looks remotely interesting. And I think the way it wound up like this is buff stacking being what everything is designed around. That needs to go away, period, if it's ever going to improve. It's all just so fucking dull. Doing a dps rotation properly feels more like reciting Pi than actually playing a game. And most of the fights on normal difficulty are basically just spectacle fights that barely tickle you if you do anything wrong, nor do they require you to recite Pi correctly. WoW manages to have engaging class *and* fight design at all levels. This game just doesn't, and that's sad because I do genuinely enjoy a lot of the other non-combat content. I'd have quit already if Shadowbringers didn't get me invested enough in the story to not just youtube it, and I'm still probably gonna quit once I finish Endwalker. They saved this game back in ARR by looking at wow and copying over good ideas they found, in addition to some of their own. I think it's time they did that again and looked specifically at class and combat design.

Just switched to GNB main and this was super clear & helpful!! thank you!!

I agree. They have stopped listening to their fans. Here is another example: the next graphics update will make most player's characters unrecognisable. After ten years they will be gone! Who even does something like that?

Shock horror, a person who rage quits a game shows an unbalanced account of the game. Not sorry to see you go

I love you for this

FFXIV community might be the most fanatical I've ever seen

i know this video is older. but i 100% agree with it. i always go off the first pull as a tank to see how well my healer can handle things. and then ill chose bigger or smaller pulls based off that. if i can wall to wall i will but its always dependent on my healer.

that's why I hear for Dawn trail they are making things harder if people wanted to do the harder stuff. the story will still be a little easier for people like me who have disability's what I am a little think for. I can't really do 8 people dungeons stuff because I keep up with everything. but yeah, I have been kind of sad for the way it seems to go. I miss. the beta way.

Thinking you shit on the game while being a STORY SKIPPER is hilarious as fuck.

Salty 🤡

Sorry dude but you are a liar. Asphodeus has been completed by 12% of the player base over a year and like 4 patches later but the savage is at like 2% completion. If there are 10 million active players that means 200k did the easiest savage and 9.8 million didn't but the Mandeville weapons are at 8% completion. 30% of the people who did endwalker did the relic weapon but 8% of people who finished the msq did the hardest content. Asphodeus needs to be at least 5% to justify your argument. 1% of the player base isn't going to determine the game direction. You are lying or dumb.

Story skipper... I wanted to agree but we did not play the same game. F off

Please delete your YT channel to match it with your character.

i just wanted to add some salt on the injury. you got rank 1 on the very first week ^^ it has close to no value. you never got rank one on farm or post prog. glad you left this game ♥ hope lost ark treated or still treats you as you deserve.

what dps meter is that?
