The less said about Endwalker's story, the better.

i was going to make some huge effort post listing the difference between shadowbringer ancients and endwalker ancients, but every comparison picture i had to look up was saved as a webp. so now instead i make this post hoping that every disgusting jew and pajeet responsible for this file format gets bulldozed into a mass grave.

simply put shadbowbringer ancients are enigmatic, wise and powerful
endwalker ancients are faggots and grids ridden.
Because
Shadowbringers ancients where created by Emet-Selch. His idolized version of the past, the way he remembers it. In Endwalker you travel to the past and meet the real ancients.

7.0 will bring also a graphic update, not only shader but more details added to the world plus more high rez textures. Here is some examples.

I'm glad they're doing a little bit of graphical work. It's always irked me that I can literally count the pixels on characters' hair textures.

Patch notes are up (doesn't include job changes yet)



I'd like to add the water bowl and the glowing box in the back... except my apartment is already maxxed out at 100 decorations. :(



Also like the box and the bag of lemons and the small fountain. Too bad you can't place outdoor furnishings inside your house/apartment. Stupid limitation.



Airship mount? Or a decoration for the island sanctuary?



More jumping puzzles is nice, though it would be nice if they came out at a faster rate.

New PvP arena might be fun.

New MSQ trial and alliance raid requires ilevel 595 to enter. I'm currently 588 and don't feel like spending hours grinding tedious chores to reach the ilevel requirement right now so I might not get around to the story for a while.

You don't need to... Use the Tomestones and in the endwalker zones you get fantastic gear. There is also the manderville epic legendary weapon if you did the manderville quest. My item level at the moment is 600. Go to Radz-At-Han to the tomestone vendor.

Character portraits on the commendation window will be a nice touch.

Still anxious about the Paladin rework, it's my main tank and I'm terrified of the dumbing it down or otherwise neutering the class identity.

If you think that's bad look up what's involved to make a FFXI/PlayOnline account.

They are keeping pouring content and content in this game. This is amazing.

You say that as though they aren't making a boat load of money from it. :P Multiplayer games get updates, or they die.
Yeah, I've never heard about any company making boats loads of money from barely releasing any fucking content at all in MP games, oh wait, hang on...

As a sustained problem, it still ends up killing them. Subscription based games especially, people need something novel to justify the ongoing cost.

Pretty reworking of a track from the original FF; gives me strong Ghibli/Shinto vibes.

You know my take is this. Having played a lot of mmo usually the content that gets in is time-gated behind useless grinds that are designed to waste your time. This game actually content is content in a sense that you don't end in situation where you have to kill x mobs in order to farm rep to keep going with the questline which is sadly something that plagues many mmo. Releasing a patch or expansion with little content and then put time gates to make to progress that content way slower than it should.

Sir, do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Chris Roberts?! May I interest you in a juicy referral link or a brand new shiny JPG?!

You underestimate people's stupidity, they will throw cash at pretty much everything nowadays.

Great way of explaining it. Emet-Selch was pretty ascendant and ascetic himself with a soft side but besides him, Venat, Hermes, and the other dude I forget the name of were basically silly sheltered pot-smoking leftists with Venat at least getting redpilled on the necessity of suffering when their actions fuck their world irreparably.

Fuck that. Just go play on Nasomi.
HorizonXI is the go-to oldschool server now. I haven't found the time to really get into it, but everything I've experienced from it is incredibly professional, honestly.

I'd have to disagree. The servers keep being taken down for maintenance on short notice, and then when they go back up and supposedly everything is fixed, lo and behold something breaks and the devs take the servers back down again. Also, server maintenance during US prime time. Given the sheer amount of time invested doing anything (1 hour organizing a party and travelling and finding camp spots, the gil spent on 1k chocobo rentals and airship rides, the consequences for death, etc), the serial server maintenances make it hard to play. Perhaps I've been spoiled by the professionalism of Ascension WoW's server stability and polish. Never had a problem there.

I appreciate that that's annoying, but given it has significant playerbases from NA, Europe, and Japan/Oceania, this was always going to be an issue for someone.

By professionalism I especially referred to their rather polished launcher, and everything just working without having to deal with obscure shit (even compared to the retail version).

The new raid is beautiful and fantastic the bosses are super hard tho! (also the goddess of fertility looks like a proper goddess of fertility)
