I've been a SMN main since all the way back in 2.1. This is the first expansion where I had ZERO excitement for the job after seeing the job action trailer. Unless something amazing is revealed during the media tour gameplay footage, I'll be leveling VPR and going through the main quest with that. Very disappointed.

Short and to the point. Love it. Thank you

Pretty sure we will get rehash summons here on out lol kinda sad.

Personally I am growing tired of the hallway-to-boss formula for dungeons. It’s the same thing each time, wall pull>wall pull>boss>repeat x2

❤❤❤

New player here finishing up shadowbrimgers getting ready for dawn trail. How do you have the boss big moves on your screen there? for example 4:45. Just a hud move ?

❤❤❤

Oh nah that's too much work

Just my opinion, but I don't think mounts that you cn get from the cash shop should be shown as rare.

Better than MTQ.

Solar Bahamut I feel should have just upgraded normal Bahamut, and given a new third elder primal summon.

I'm honestly excited for Summoner. I know how people feel about the lack of changes but I'm excited to play it.

Not gonna lie, lowkey seem like a sign of laziness. That’s just me

Damn this is sick, it’s all the bosses in 1! Badasss

This is exactly the type of guide I want when I wanna reprog something. Props to you. The skill of conveying information isn't about conveying a lot of information ... but conveying a lot of information efficiently and fast.

I have to vehemently disagree with you. The ONLY good Alliance Raids were the Endwalker ones. The rest are completely terrible. And dungeons should never be challenging content unless there is a separate challenge mode for them. They should be a quick and easy means to an end. The ones that take forever now are already not fun. Challenge in MMOs should be optional. Never forced

I appreciate the lack of FOMO in FF14. I can take breaks for MONTHS at a time and come back and just pick up where I left off. Even now the last time i logged in was like February and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything at all. See ya'll in DT.

Final fantasy 14 does not need to get rid of all the easy mode stuff, and it doesn't have to do anything to the Savage hardcore content. What final fantasy 14 needs is a ton more mid-core content. It needs to stretch out ilevels and ignore people who think that they should be able to have access to all gear. You should have access to the tiers that are appropriate for the content in which you participate. You can keep dungeons as they are for people who just want to do story mode. What you can make hard mode dungeons and extreme dungeons by tweaking. How much HP the mobs have and how hard they hit. You can slightly adjust the pads of the dungeons, kind of like they used to back in 2.0. And if super casuals can't clear that content, then it's not for them. I'm tired of the game being catered to the lowest common denominator in terms of skill. No, I'm not a hardcore raider and I don't have time for it, but I'm really good at the game and I don't want to run dungeons that can be soloed by a warrior. They've already ruined tanks and healers by making them completely homogeneous and brain dead. They already cater to these players who think one class is too hard to play. So they dumb it down. Final fantasy 14 should make a great game, and make people understand that not every class is meant to be played by every player. Some classes are and should be harder to play. Maybe they do slightly better DPS as a reward. Some classes should be easier and more accessible to play, again. Doing slightly less DPS but maybe they help buff the party a little more easy. I don't know, they're smart enough to figure it out, but they are alienating the majority of players and catering to people who just want to play dress up.

They will likely tie the relic weapon to the new bozja-eureka area. That's a huge downer for me, because those areas blow. They are awful, and I'd rather not have them. This has been the first expac where I can do the savage content I love, and still get a relic weapon without having to go into those zones and grind pointlessly just to parse, if I did such a thing. It's been so nice to be able to enjoy the game my way. I'm really hoping they tie the relic to the criterion dungeons too. That would be acceptable, because those are fun, and then I wouldn't be forced to do awful content just so I can do what I enjoy in the game. I play to have fun, not be so bored that I consider paying my girlfriend to do it for me.

I am sorry you have disowned Summoner now, Samson, but you should remember the lore in the Level 50-60 job quests. Y'mitria clearly found out that SUMMONERS CANNOT SUMMON MORE THAN THREE EGIS WITHOUT TRANCE. "But we're gods now!" NO. If the f**king HIGH SUMMONERS OF ALLAGAN WHO WERE GODS OF GODS could not hold more than three egis, then is it just plain impossible, give up on that dream and just accept that all we can summon for the rest of FFXIV's life cycle will be Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Bahamut and Phoenix. I wish we could have used Leviathan and Ramuh to complete the beast tribe set, but Bahamut stole all the glory. (To be honest, I wish they could have added a snippet of dialogue to the dialogue Y'mitria gives when she goes about the plan to have you acquire Bahamut if you had completed the Final Coils of Bahamut. "Oh really? You actually fought and defeated Bahamut? Then you have more than enough aether from that elder primal!") I'm not saying you should stick with Summoner. If you truly utterly despite Summoner from the job action trailer and want to play a physical DPS class, then go right ahead. You do you. But don't treat Summoner as unclean just because we didn't get Ramuh-egi, Leviathan-egi and Shiva-egi. :(

One of the reasons I came to FF14 was to have a less stressful gaming environment. I hope they don't screw that up.

Aglaia week one was a wipe fest, but that was the only one of the series.

I couldn't stand eureka and I fn hate Boreza so heh i enjoyed EW relics 😊

0:20 TBH I feel like he probably had that realisation late last year, well into DT's development. I wouldn't expect a course correction until maybe 7.1 or 7.2. I reckon 7.0 will be as easy if not easier than 6.5 content.

Not DT specific but i’m most hyped to experience the new soundtrack while exploring the new areas and taking it all in, before unlocking flight. Arriving at a new town for the first time and speaking to NPCs feeds my nostalgia for classic FFs. You only get those moments once.

I feel for 24 mans and dungeons being built close to the Stormblood level of diff is what I want to see, as they felt like they wore hard enough you didn't just shut your brain off and power through.

"wipping once on a dungeon when blind" THANK YOU! That's all i'm also asking.. that when you don't know what's coming, you WIPE, then you come back and you change your approach and you get it (or not) .. I remember having a blast with day one alliance raids in shadowbrinders with lots of death and healers shitting themselves.. so I wanted to get the day one experience with the last alliance raid in Endwalker... men... what a disppointment... barely anybody died, all mechanics are wayyy too straightforward you dont even have to think everything is way too obvious. It is FUN yeah, but so easy that it just doesnt feel like you're beating [SPOILERS] ... I'm 100% sure Yoshi-P dsoesnt mean that everything will be like Extreme difficulty lol, but at least.. surprising ! With probably one wipe per boss in dungeons, new mechanics that you just cant get directly so you DIE... you have to DIE... stress free is just boring honestly.. when you reach Endwalker+ .. you know how to play, you want challenge ! not spamming 1 1 1 1 1 1 until the boss die while watching youtube..

i agree with the video and these are hilariously backhanded compliments "i'm excited for the update to x because it's in a really bad state right now"

so dawntrail will be fuck causal and solo players

Im on the heavensward dark knight relic wep grind now atm, alongside with Eureka. the Elemental fending armor in black looks sick with the drk sword, Tho i bloody hate Pagos of Eureka, such a damn grind if solo.

I agree as blind run dungeons were let's be real, shit.... I blind ran the and never wiped. Was too easy

I just hope it's hard. Get rod of this solo play nonsense

I always forget about Beastmaster xD I hope they show a bit of that in the next liveletter

The fact that LV81 dungeon Tower of Zot is literally (not figuratively) the hardest Endwalker dungeon still is quite sad...

You did well doing the presentation on camera man, great job and keep it up! Looking forward to your videos for Dawntrail :)

Ok 2.0 dungeons AK and WP were legit hard for the whole cycle of that expansion. There was people wiping all the time back in the day. Dungeons need to be harder like those were back in the day. To many cry babies in this community have changed the workings of the game so much.

Currently, tomestone weapons are only available to savage players. Some of us with disabilities cannot do those. Are you proposing a change to that for relics? If not, what's your solution? Also, harder content means different things to different players. I do not look forward to being dead most of the time in dungeons, trials, or raids or sitting them out because the content is tailored to savage players. My money is worth the same as theirs.

Can already get max level gear with sack of nuts. Make the relics a grind and a half to get

Dude, I'm looking forward to using your straight to the point guides.

Before I watch this: PICTO!!!!!! and redmage melee aoe combo finally 50 mana T°T

I think that the easier stuff, the simplification, the solo/trust things are all wonderful specifically for players who need accessibility options. I have friends who get easily overwhelmed, but still of course want to play! And I think Yoshi-P and the team have done a great job making this MMORPG accessible as possible to its players. And I believe in the latest live letter, he said something about up into 7.0, everything was about updating and streamlining. And then heading into and thinking about 8.0, they're working towards differentiating jobs again. I think make sure the bones of the MMORPG are strong is so important, since remember they had to do a lot of remaking when it came from 1.0 to 2.0! Now that the bones are updated/solid, including the updated system requirements and graphics, we're going to see a lot more gradual amp up in difficulty. I feel like the NPCs/Trusts can MAYBE do more complex dungeon mechanics, too! They've had enough time to develop those at least. I wish they would bring back job quests, even if it's just 1 extra one with my job NPCs. But who knows? We're pushing new territory here and the devs are clearly listening; it just takes time. Sooo excited for Dawntrail!

PART 2 kzbin.info21XXi3HFMyM

PART 1 kzbin.infoKbpc8C_8Mi8?feature=share

Alot of people saying shiva, ramuh, leviathan as part of phoenix phase. That too, would just ultimately feel like a reskin. I think they should have added a 4th demi, and every cycle you essentially pick 3 of the 4. Perhaps it could have been ramuh, following the blm theme of lightning = DoT, perhaps you would want to put in ramuh every other demi rotation to apply a long lasting higanbana style DoT. Or leviathan could be an option and come in and include a defensive utility at the cost of mobility. Titan=mobile, Garuda=AOE, Ifrit=single target/dash, Ramuh=DoT, etc. I mean... this just seems so obvious. Sad update, I agree

At the very least it won’t be DRK’s “Enhanced Unmend”

New subbie! Tysm for this! I started playing a few years ago (off and on). You always learn something new!

I agree with you! I want those three added as well! It is something new for me! I am probably going back to my Red Mage as my Main!

Shadowbringers summoner is its best interation and I'm gonna die on that hill. For dawntrail I was expecting maybe the return of DoTs I know most people don't like it but I think it was very unique and satisfying to do dots and them spread them in an AoE and with endwalker new system and summons I think it would be cool to have DoTs back. Or then maybe at least do what everyone wanted or expected which was a bunch of new summons, maybe have them in ogcds between gdcs like shiva doing a big ice attack as ogcd. But yea, instead we got that ugly skinny-starving dragon which appears to work the exact same as bahamut and phoenix, it's beyond dissapointing.

I guess I’m in the minority I like the new sumn over the old Dot mage.

What we wanted: 2nd set of gem summons featuring Ramuh, Leviathan, Shiva with a Alexander capstone. What we got: Bahamut Glamour Insult to Injury: Pictomancer gets a Moogle and Discount Madeen summon. BLU: I have over 20 summon attacks at my disposal lol
