[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[Katchii]

Maybe.

That depends on whether I buy the expansion or not. I'm waiting on more details before committing - I want to know what meat is sitting on the bones, especially in regards to what rival MMO's are offering. The equivalent of Diadem and mindlessly clicking on nodes as a 'fun feature' isn't going to cut it for me any longer.

I have a nasty feeling that 6.0 is going to be 'just okay'. As in the base MSQ's will be decent but the actual content is going to be rather lacking and not all that thrilling or bold.

It would still definitely be worth the box price and a month sub even if this were all accurate, IMO. Don't have to stay subbed forever or play more than just the story to get your money's worth, if you enjoy the story at all anyway. Completely understand not buying if story is not your thing.

Slut magician?...I mean, this is the problem with this game, it really fulfill male sexual desires.

Yuck slut looking armor on female....

25 years ago, I might have agreed but nowadays, I see more skin when I ride the bus to work lol.
Also, WoW is ripe with "slutmogs".

[TidalConflux]

They are just selling "virtual sex" for lonely dudes. And people fall for it. But well, its their money, not mine....

Don't come to me with that "trolling" bullshit, I'm just giving my opinion. FF14 is just selling cheap sexual content for the dudes in anime fashion. Also stop with the "bait" crap, its just my opinion.

I dont know if you played on Moon Guard recently or not....

But to follow up -- you can make scantily clad males too:



Nah but youre borderline trolling - or you actualy lack awareness to see how you can point to WoW and say the same thing.

[Granyala]

Now now, in Mr troll's defense pretending that thigh highs with suspenders don't have any historic connotations is being just as disingenuous as he is.

I don't think anyone disputes, that the characters (both male and female) are hyper-idealized and sexualized.
My lil' Ifalna is a very shy and modest person, and I have never had trouble finding alternatives to dress her up as such.

I do fully admit that I enjoy the more revealing outfits too... just not in public or combat situations.

[Raetary]

If they give me barbarian like He-Man, that is Ok for me. Actually, i want a game to give me that kind of outfit for a Warrior character. I always liked He-Man outfit and Lion-o

So let me get this straight, you are a-ok with half naked men walking around with their bulging muscles in leather harnesses, but a woman wearing anything that shows any modicum of skin is perverse and only exists for soft-core porn?

[zorkuus]

Don't get mad at me at pointing how cheap those outfits look like. I never see other games doing that.

This is 100% troll.

If you dont play DRK/PLD/GNB/WAR glamoured in high heels and a cocktail dress -- i dont trust you as a tank.

Dude you are talking so far out of your ass its not even funny. The bulk of armour in this game isn't even *remotely* close to being sexual. SE isn't abusing sexual outfits at fucking all. Jesus christ, can you atleast make an effort to actually put weight behind your complaints instead of just vomiting it out?

Nope. This guy is a clown who has some kind of a problem and is channeling his frustration at the game he doesn't play. He's here just to argue.

[Kaelwryn]

Don't get mad at me at pointing how cheap those outfits look like. I never see other games doing that. At least not in that level. I vomit this awful game and its japanese sexual fantasies

No, its not. You are literally making no effort to actually educate yourself on the game and how the outfits look at all. You came in here swinging, tossing out how ESO si so much better than 14 and are now crying about how its got slutmog and abuses sexual fantasy when it does nothing of the sort. Yes there's skimpy outfits but they do not make up the majority of the game's outfits.

In this day and age, this kind of opinion really does just come across as trolling because it's so out of place and such outdated puritanical garbage that people that actually believe this stuff just can't be real.

[Shakzor]

So, to sum it up "Male showing skin = perfectly ok, female showing skin = absolute no-go and slutty"?

Now that's either some medieval mindset or just pure trolling...
Stuff like that red dress or the schoolgirl uniform are so tame, you'd actually see them on the street without people thinking "oh my god, what is she thinking?".
If they really wanted to go the slutmog route, they could just copy stuff like Blade & Soul (if it was the game i was thinking about) or Scarlet... something (not Nexus), but they don't. There are very, very few exceptions and the majority of armor is very covered/tame and more meant to be "normal" fashion, badass/powerful or capturing the essence of the classes. There are even plenty of bikini parts that are more covered than people on an actual beach

[TidalConflux]

Now, that looks nice. It reminds me a "Reach man" from Markarth. The female also had this tribal looking leather armor (That is super OK since they are a tribal and savage Bretons of the north). The naked chest on males with tattoos looks amazing. The spear makes it looks even better. Like i said before, for example, i like one of the FF old games character that looks like a Middle East fighter (bald with a pony tail) or the barbarian looks. That is awesome, maybe not so original, but still awesome.

See if both races can be as dressed down or armored up as possible, whats the problem?

This sounds more like a point of preference than a problem

[Granyala]

You guys play this to get horny or something?

Well ... yeah. I do.




Can't help it. Seeing my beloved kitten like this always get me going. :P

Scarlet Blade for that 2nd one. NOW That is a game that lives hard core on sexual fantasy

Wrong. Using "Japanese sexual fantasy" make it looks pathetic. Like those "School girls" crap or the full "Bikini" so called "armor" is just bad. The female Barbarian in D3 looks amazing. Diablo 2 Amazon, Sorc and Assassin looks amazing, and the more armor you put on them, the better they look.

You also still have yet to answer my question about which "school girl" outfit you saw in the character creation screen.

[Granyala]

Well the Neo-Ishgardian tank set is as far as Ifalna is willing to go.
And that is already more fan service for me. :O

for someone that hates the game, you spend A LOT of time in its thread talking about it. lmfao i think you really just love the shit outta it, or you wouldnt still be here.

Sorry, i dont trust your catgirl then. Just like every other miqote

Reminds me of that Rich Campbell clip of him screaming on stream to other people in BFA about how bad the game was and how these people could possibly like the game.

Same energy

[Granyala]

On the last picture...What is the guy next to your character is using?. It looks super lame on male characters. Is like that guy stole her sister sexy shirt and use it.

Beats me, it's some NPC during a Cutscene.

[Granyala]

Your trust is not required. She will shield you from harm either way.
Though her true calling is healing both the people and the world.
