post character and jrpg song to start off the thread

xth for dont forget to feed squiddy-chan today

Honestly I agree, they'd not be as loved if they came with up to date graphics. What most people love is the many artist renditions that made them look better.

Nah

hi...

hello

it's too late for me to order pizza right now

youtu.be/SZNbabKjKpA

holy shit did u guys know elk took up modelling

youtube.com/watch?v=-Zq6Va901ME

this is his premier debut my god look at dat bp

shake it girl !

Does anyone here like miqote...

post lewd butts...

youtube.com/watch?v=KSSC1zADkk0

Highlanders

what have you grown lately, /xivg/?

Shards

a boner..

when you post butt...

youtube.com/watch?v=ORGi79Icwe0

Also highlanders.

Yep. Art usually make things look better for people.
The only difference I can see with Mithra compared to Miqo'te is only the nose.

...

More like saggy third world tits edition.

What people love is that they have a different, more animalistic aethetic compared to Miqo'te who are chubby faced midlanders with tails.

So I just leveled WHM to 60 and I am absolutely terrible at managing my MP. Not from healing, but from DPSing. I try to just keep Assize and Shroud on CD, is there anything else I can do? Should I try to hold Shroud until I get to 8-9k MP, something like that?

I am used to scholar where I have infinite MP, this is quite an adjustment.

Xth for chilling

...

When are you going to rail my lala

Abe sure is full of himself for someone who gets out dpsd by Rheia in every single fight for 4 tiers now lol

>literally furry

When you send a tell

>I see a lot of people in-game lately shit on Astrologians. Calling them an unfun White Mage clone or they can't compare to Scholars. It's got to the point where some PF groups want WHM/SCH. Are Astrologians really that bad?

>The skill floor is too high so generally people playing them are very inefficient. It gives them a bad reputation.

>People play them to look pretty and dont respect the fact that the skill ceiling for AST is very very very very high.

>The players who play the class can be iffy

Is this a new meme? AST is unpopular now because it's too hard :^)

PLD is also unpopular because it's too hard fyi :^)

>more animalistic
It's literally just the nose though, too much markings on the face and the ears being the same color as the skin.
In the end, they're just Humes with cat ears, a cat nose and a tail.

youtube.com/watch?v=pBhUwLxlKLU

let's put an end to this
strawpoll.me/10820598
strawpoll.me/10820598
strawpoll.me/10820598
strawpoll.me/10820598

And that is why they still pretty much look like humes with slight alterations in the art, right?

Its funny how they gave hellsguard roes those noses now. Face 4 femqotes would look better w/ said noses.

The races in 11 were much more fleshed out but I guess that is due to the story demanding it.

>Abe not even awake

are you ok there buddy

stop watching porn

the only thing "hard" about AST is remembering to jam out your cards in the middle of DPSing and healing.

>no "me" option
fuck off

>being this obsessed
some of you people need to reevaluate your lives

far too lazy to do anything other than craft. zzz

youtube.com/watch?v=ns3c1yAc3iY

Honestly I wish the races were just as fleshed out as it was in Vana'diel.
Eorzea's races are pretty much just there. I mean, Miqo'te and Au Ra lore is nice but we barely see any of it in-game at all.

sure abe
and in 5 hours when you 'wake up' youre going to claim the fact that youre losing is because the poll is rigged lmao wp

i look so goooooood

You're in this general already. We're all too far gone and so are you.

>thav pants aren't baggy the whole way down
I see what you're going for though.

clown pants

I'm sleepy.
:3

>It's literally just the nose though
And it literally changes the way their faces are.
>too much markings on the face
Uh no, you faggot
>In the end, they're just Humes with cat ears, a cat nose and a tail.
As is everything. You can't deny that Mithra are a better and more aesthetically interesting than XIV Miqo'te.

XI just did player races better than XIV, which just made bootleg versions of XI's races.
The homage was nice in theory but absolutely shit in practice.

or too early!

>You can't deny that Mithra are a better and more aesthetically interesting than XIV Miqo'te.
Furry faggot.
>XI just did player races better than XIV, which just made bootleg versions of XI's races.
XIV's races look miles better though.

Anyone with jobs around level 40 want to party up for dungeons/fates?

Roe/Galka used to have tails too

Better yes, but not nearly as interesting as people make it out to be. The change is still not really that major.

technically
i can order a pizza up until like 4:30 here, but it's 6:30

are those doc martins

dont really want to keep perpetuating XI in the XIV thread but i agree

what does that have to do with people in this thread hating someone for some autistic reason and the posting about them nonstop?

they gotta end somewhere

i like the way they fill the negative space between normal leg pieces and the chest

I wish you would end somewhere too. I don't know what that's meant to mean.

not abe

and when he wakes up he'll just say rheia is better as usual

as I said, calm down

Galka are more like were-bear creatures there while Roes are just orcs
I can see why people would miss the tails tho

i did end somewhere :)

no bitch they're Guidi

cute >w

Good point. Its hard to really separate them at times with it being the previous FF mmo and to see how much SE brought over in terms of what they learned, what they forgot, etc.

I mean hell, compare what they should have learned/kept from 1.0.

>but not nearly as interesting as people make it out to be.
No one is making them out to be the best races in MMO history.
People are just disappointed how lazy, uninspired and half-assed XIV's characters are.

A lot of the love for XI's races come from the lore and XIV seriously lacks that, while they could have used the side quests in XIV to tell us about them. The only thing we got about Au Ra is that Ishgard thought they were dragons and killed a bunch of them.
And that's fucking it for a new god damn player race.

Also a problem with XIV is that in their effort to bootleg XI's races, they clearly didn't think how well the races would look cause holy fuck how did Elezen make the cut.
They could've improved on Elvaan and got rid of the ridiculous neck. Instead, they threw in the most awful animations as a "fuck you".


In fact, that's my biggest gripe with XIV as a whole. It just feels half-assed.

Soo I join an in progress PotD and it put me in a room with just 4 walls and nothing else.

Help.

>Also a problem with XIV is that in their effort to bootleg XI's races, they clearly didn't think how well the races would look cause holy fuck how did Elezen make the cut.
Don't forget the fact that they deliberately added shitty options in the CC, which resulted in each race having at least one completely and utterly awful face option.

The race animations were great in 1.0. Elezen had better animations there than they do right now.
Besides, their long neck is their charm. Why change it?

jesus christ

yeah like i said i agree completely
esp with mithra and elvaan

I've been agonizing over this for a literal year

Autism is a powerful thing senpai

Pick the job you find the most fun and main that. Simple solution.
And if you don't enjoy any of the jobs, why are you even playing still?

is this really elk ? why does no one ever lust for elk ?shes cute

You look like a clown.

main summoner.

>The race animations were great in 1.0. Elezen had better animations there than they do right now.
I will never understand why they got rid of race specific animations sans emotes.
>Besides, their long neck is their charm. Why change it?
Because honestly, it looks horrible. It looked better on Elvaan but it looks bad on Elezen.
I can't really put my finger on why, but idk maybe it's the new graphics or something.
If elezen would have shorter necks and better face but I let the current ones slide apart from the male babyface they would look much better in stuff that isn't full plate armor.

1.0 felt more special than what it is right now. Eorzea felt like its own unique place as an FF universe but now it doesn't feel nearly the same.
Some lore from it was forgotten, too.

I'm not sure what to do if there isn't a femroe pounding on me. . .

I liked all the XI races more than the XIV races for the varied animations. Every animation was slightly different in XI for each race. They're all the same for XIV.

>another ugly cat lost to the femroe menace

As for me I don't really mind their necks, but it gets so fucked up if their heads are facing in another direction (somehow this is bad for most races in general)
Some angles really make it look so bad, like if the camera is looking up from below.
I miss how more defined and muscley Elezen looked in 1.0.
>They're all the same for XIV.
No they weren't. Race animations are all so different from each other.

>No they weren't. Race animations are all so different from each other.
I meant the combat animations, sorry for not specifying.

Please keep these threads PG-13 this is a blue board

have u tried getting a hobby? like maybe knitting or something.

The elezen "neck problem" is a problem for most races. Miqote, both Hyur subraces, and Female Roegadyn all have abnormally long necks for any 3D game humanoid characters. It's just the most apparent on elezen as they are tall the and most slender of the races.

>everyone thinks everyone is you

I didn't post once in the last thread

Thanks for almost pretending like I meant anything to you.

I can't main what I find most fun due to raiding situations, and I only really find the others kind of fun. But I can't quit because I'm addicted to the stupid game.

Ah, they are, aren't they? Although Lalas and Roes get the luxury of getting different animations (because of their extremely different builds)
I can't remember if 1.0 had different battle animations for each race or not.

Like this yeah?

>149434802
this one is a falseflag

can you send me a tell again ?

Find a raiding arrangement that benefits you then.

Remember, user, avoid autism and have fun playing the game!.

>heheh everyone thinks i'm a thirsty retard

...

Please elaborate, that makes no sense

Yeah, exactly like that. The variations in the attacks added a lot of flavor to each race.

This is not the happy hour I envisioned.

fuck now i need to reread that
