Remember back in the day on FF14 there was a core group of us on the Japanese server that was the only server when he was rebuilding the game. The guild I was in was a big smoking guild and they ask Yoshi to smoke pot with them. Yoshi joked saying no he can't cause he would go to jail. Was funny at the time. Yoshi has a good sense of humor. He's right though he would have gone to jail since its illegal in Japan.

[@ClaudioProductionsX]

@@MyshKatze I'm assuming the best gear available at the moment (crafted pentamelded for savage, savage BiS for ultimate). Yoshi P makes their devs play their own game, and probably it will be figured out when uptime strats gets discovered. It is safe to think that this happened because the Devs knows the optimized strategies and the uptime windows to maximize the DPS output, which heavily helps in clearing the fight faster, as they created the fight plus they have countless of hours to test the fight. It's like playing a puzzle you already know the solution to, however it still requires some skill to apply the solution. If you don't believe me, go to a fight with the BiS and compare the day 1 strats vs the strats for the same fight discovered 6 months after release. You'll see probably a 5-10% DPS output difference. I did TEA on the same patch, and I remember that as we progged, we went from barely being able to meet the DPS check in BJ/CC to having to actually stop DPSing BJ/CC because killing it too fast would make the next phase harder since we won't have our DPS cooldowns up in time, and it wasn't because of better gear because we had the BiS gear available at the time, which was 470 and no 475 gear was available until next patch. so, TL;DR: an Optimized strat can provide a considerable higher damage output than better gear can provide, probably not as huge bonus as BiS, but a considerable higher DPS.

It's not that the UI icons were designed solely for streamers but indeed it is useful for streaming. It's a quick and useful way to know if you equipped one of those rings and then forgot to unequip it, the UI icon is literally saying "hey btw you have one of the gg ez rings equipped". There is a reason why the icons are on top of the HP bar, since thats probably the part of the UI you're going to be watching the most, so you can't even miss the "gg ez" ring icons by accident.

And even on certain weeks that I do have time and energy to learn, it only took less than a day for me to realize this ain't working out because half the time the translation on the tutorial makes me want to teach English to Asians properly. Looking up guides didn't help either so I decided to just let the AI do all the work for me and all I have to do is switch out characters and use items. Stuff like this helps out. I can't just watch KZbin videos of others playing the game I want and also agreeing with their builds. I still love min maxing to the ends of the Earth.

@Alias F I love that it's just an option. If you want to be a God gamer, play with none! That's what I intend to do! But, BUT, the inclusion of these is fantastic as an option for newcomers to gaming like my girl who is interested in this game too, and people with disabilities! If it was some weird forced on or off type thing, I'd dislike it. But having it as an on the fly option for those that need it, or he'll even want it, is amazing forward thinking. I love that they're doing it, not for me but for everyone else that may not get to enjoy this experience without it!

Berseria is sooo underated. Which by the way FF16 gives me vibes from that game with the whole revenge thing.

@@taylon5200 "If it was some weird forced on or off type thing, I'd dislike it." how is it any different though - equipping a ring or turning an option on or off? isn't it literally the exact same thing, just in a different menu?

[@mrp2301]

oh so that's why this looked so much like ff14...

[@TheBrazilRules]

Wait. Is that Spoony translator speaking at the beginning of the video?

[@Dirty_Nero_Main]

I play with a ring: Timely Focus. Too many particle effects on screen. I'd rather remove all the extra unnecessary light sources and silly AOE effects that lower the frame rate.

I almost got excited then I saw it's not releasing until June... for PS5 only. And PC won't get it within 6 months. They won't even begin potentially working on a PC version until AFTER those 6 months. So, like, yeah okay. So years away then. Hype extinguished.

I'm hoping that even though the handicapped settings prevent you from failing, they'll also actively prevent you from being awesome and showing off some true talent. Like if you can't mess up enough to miss, then you can no longer succeed hard enough to crit or something.

[@taylon5200]

Dmc5 did this with its auto combos, I'm so happy they brought it into this game too! It's not something I'll use, but there's so many people that can enjoy this masterpiece now just because they exist and I'm all for new players or handicapped to be able to enjoy it too! Such a wholesome thing

Handicapped settings shouldn’t give achievements

[@fluffyfang4213]

@@kungfuchief I don't see why not. Most games give achievements on Easy/Normal. Just throw in the obligatory Hard mode achievement.

[@kungfuchief]

@@fluffyfang4213 no reward for no difficulty

[@fluffyfang4213]

@@kungfuchief Yes. That is how achievements inherently work. The existence of easy ones does not change that.
