Has anyone tried to play this game in ironman mode, or is it just impossible?
>>1034519my little man is iron when i play
>>1034519Would trusts be cheating?
>>1034535Absolutely
>>1034545I think it's doable. My guess is that the early game would be the hardest part but it'd be relatively smooth sailing once you hit level 99.

There's no outpost in Tu'Lia, right? Is that a retail thing on the region map? (Horizon)
>>1035478no outpost but you can do the teleport quest for easy accessi will hit you up for easy access
>>1035479Do the clear chips for teleport ever break?
>>1035495yes so get one for each crag and cycle use. try not to use the same crag more than once per day.
When is 1.2?
>>1035731#WhitePolygamy
>>1035731why are there two prishe
>>1036158You have no idea how badly I was hoping someone would ask this question. There are, in fact, 2 Prishes that you interact with in the story. The one from CoP that everyone knows and loves and the one from Abyssea, that reveals her timeline is the one where she watched you and all the other side characters lose the final fight and get absorbed to create Shinryu. These two never actually meet each other, though.
>>1036166Which one is more likely to let me sniff their butt?
>>1036181The spoiler one would, because she's lonely and depressed. The CoP one is into NTR and openly brags about getting married to Not You when you go get her Trust summon.
>>1036183marry who
>>1036332Pretty sure they never say who, I'll have to see if I can go find that cutscene.
Unprotected with mithra warriors
>>1036340I could never find the sauce for this one. A shame, it's still one of my favorite XI pics after all these years.
Damn is this the first thread in MONTHS to actually discuss the game? I need to fix that for us. *Ahem* Aerec is a faggot.
i wanna play but im not smart enough to set up anything :(
>>1036489What server are you thinking? I'm braindead and got it figured out.

>>1036183Are you thinking of Lilisette? With Cait Sith revealing she wanted a trust of WoC?
>>1037072Neato.>>1037163Nah, from what I remember, Prishe's Trust quest has her talking about she's getting ready to get married, but she wants to be a battle wife instead of a housewife. She then proceeds to basically friend-zone you in the conversation leading up to the Trust being summoned.
>>1036486Thank you for doing it to him
My linkpearl is broken, the linkshell has fallen. Alone again.
>>1037575would
>>1037616time to multibox
im thinking about getting back to this, horizon or asura? i tried bahamut but it feels dead af
>>1037867It sounds like your priority is partying/community feel, so Horizon. Link a d*scord account to your Horizon account to get a +30 item Mog Satchel on all your characters and access to the rest of the channels, like linkshell recruitment. Retail for story during free login campaigns. The yell chat is the first big difference when comparing retail to Horizon. It's so dead on retail that it's spooky
>>1037917Well there was a huge war, mass depopulation
>>1037951>somewhere out there is AI prishe (HQ)
>>1037951repopulating with prishe
>>1037917between asura and horizon, which one is more populated?
>>1037981the one with more potent seed
>>1037981They're probably even, but the problem with Asura is the merc spam and bots. At it's lowest, Horizon dips down to Bahamut average (1k). At it's highest, usually 2.1k US time. Who knows if a lot more will come back for Treasures of Aht Urghan this year. I'm guessing it will if they don't fuck it up since Treasures is pretty good. It's lower right now because people don't want to burn out or already burnt out from Promathia content autism for almost a year. Still seeing newer players join up and there was talk about adding rewards to missions for players that already completed them, so that they can help new players get theirs doneYou still play solo on retail until max level regardless, so it's just you, your trusts, and sometimes another new player out in the wild once a day. Retail is such a weird thing to just see people stacked on aetherytes, but hardly ever on the way to some place
No toilets to be found anywhere in Windurst
>>1038576Because Windurst is one giant toilet.
>>1038588They do cover it with dirt but the aroma lingers
sex with lionsex with prishesex with nashmeirasex with lilisettesex with arcielasex with iroha
>>1038673I pass on all of those and instead choose my DRG/WHM Elvaan-F Adventuring Fellow.
>>1034093I tried following the lutris script for horizon on linux but always get the 256 error. Bummed out bros, it's frustrating because I know how to make other ones work.
>>1038676good taste but I wouldn't pass on lilisette and arciela.
>>1038576Elvaaniggers mind explaining what this is?
>>1039475Looks like a chocobo troth to me, bub.
Why do all these private servers want me to use discord? Why can't we just go back to forums instead of spyware chat clients?
>>1039484I wish we could stick to in-game chat with the occasional vent/ts/mumble if it calls for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s7WQCzPGEE
>>1039595Same. The focus on discord has drained the in-game chats in pretty much any MMO even excluding private servers. I think if I do play on a private server I want to play one with a server-wide LS, maybe that would get people chatting ingame more.
>a month with no double EXP campaignTime to play XIV
>>1039475isn't that near the chocobo rental spot? looks like a normal steed feed
I'm going to kill myself.
I blew up my PC, have to reinstall FFXI.Trying to re-read the graphics overhaul instructions for the first time since 2017. Is it just FFXIconfig then Windower if I don't want to do anything too risky?
>>1040221Can I have your gaiters first?
>>1040122No it's right by the houses in south sandyIt's literally 99.99% not that because they literally have one in the chocobo place (I think)
>>1040221Bro...
>>1040221that one was destined to become a vulcans staff too, you done goofed
Noob alert. Old man napping.
>>1040932I'm playing Minecraft with /trash/ degenerates.
>>1041001>"playing" minecraft with degenerateslol
Is Phoenix still the chan server?
>>1041127I really hope we're all on Bahamut.
>still $25 maple dollars + tip a month to play this piece of shitThey should be paying me to play it not the other way around
I can't decide if empyrean weapons or mythic weapons are more miserable to grind out.
>>1041595Easily Empyreans, for anything other than Harp or Shield, you're busting your ass and wallet for a weapon that A. Doesn't significantly boost its attached weaponskill (until reforged rank 10~15). B. Doesn't offer much for job utility or job builds, just Unga Bunga auto-attack damage. C. Keeps you stuck doing the same things, in the same zones, in the same ways, compared to Mythic offering a lot of variance in what you grind and what happens during the grind (random floors, random enemies/bosses, different rules for each event, etc.)
>>1041127Bahambutt
>>1041868you'd fit in better on horizon
>>1041893I play both
>>1041893I like Horizon! and retail! and Final Fantasy XIV!!
>still haven't paid my debt to Naja Salaheem
How often does this game go on sale? I want to mess around in it from time to time and retail sounds like the only way to see some of the later stuff at the moment. Don't really want to commit to a low rate "era" private server given how unstable the community running many of them seems to be right now.
>>1042160About once every few months. Looks like it'll go on sale in December next according to SteamDB.If you don't wanna wait that long, retail does have a 14 day free trial.
>>1042166Maybe around Christmas time they'll have a sale, I see I missed one last month. Better to buy the game straight from SE than on steam, correct?I don't mind waiting a bit, sounds like they're going to at least try to keep the game on life support for another 10 years.
>>1042176>Better to buy the game straight from SE than on steam, correct?Yep. Booting it through steam just boots up playonline, so there's no real benefit to it. SE runs sales on both stores at the same time, so you should be able to pick it up come Christmas.>sounds like they're going to at least try to keep the game on life support for another 10 years.Seems like it. I only just started in May and I was really surprised to hear that the game was just wrapping up a new storyline. No clue what lies in the future but I don't see it going down any time soon.
>>1042187I've been keeping up with news regarding the game and it sounds like with the new producer they're pretty set on slowing down the amount of new stuff the game gets. They don't really sound that enthusiastic about keeping the game going anymore, almost like they're mad people still want to play it rather than playing 14 or buying whatever other new thing SE cranks out. Said new producer did want to add some new kind of content to the game that would get random people playing together more though, so I'm curious to see what that is at least.
>>1042210That new content came out this update, it was a new Master Trial (fights requiring Job Master to enter, that reward Lv 1 cosmetic weapons unavailable elsewhere) featuring Divine Might & Zilart Brothers, intended to be difficult enough to require the use of Prime weapons (newest legendary weapons, black & purple Relics).
>>1042216Nah that sounds different. I swear the new thing was meant to be something pretty much anybody could join in on, not just another endgame fight.
>>1042242Maybe you're thinking of Sortie, which came out about a year ago. It's the newest event where you can either grind it casually for Empyrean armor reforging materials or grind it hardcore for Prime weapons.
>>1042244I swear it came after the producer change, so that makes it this year. Looking back through the Topics on the POL site I can't find it so either I imagined it or read it somewhere else like the forums.
>your retail server>how active is it lately
>>1042142holy based
>>1041602started Masamune a while ago and I only recently realized how much higher it would cost to make this thing usable at endgame vs just finishing the trials. Diverting these heavy metals and riftcinders to Daurdabla now but these nm spawns are 20x more cancerous than the great katana ones
>>1042326Well-deserved cancer, because at the end of the road is turning your 2 buff slots into 4, which is easily the most ridiculous boost any job has ever gotten in the entire game.
>>1042287BahamutDecently active. Recently got invited to two different shells so I'm meeting new people. Makes me wish I had a third ear because I miss my old LS but nobody does any events in there.
>>1034093What is actually fun about Final Fantasy? It seems like the most action you get is selecting an attack from a menu. Idk, cool soundtrack on 7 but I just don't get it.
>>1042913Unique to this particular Final Fantasy game is the ability to write your actions and abilities to keyboard shortcuts, which adds a layer of knowledge checking and reaction timing to combat (e.g. I can make a button that makes me physically attack faster to build my special attack bar, then have another button use my special attack and switch me into armor that is tailored to powering up that attack). There are also some mechanics and features that are based on where your character is in relation to your enemy (e.g. My enemy is a big dragon with a huge spiky tail, so if I stand behind him, he will be able to whack me super hard and kill me in one hit, versus if I stand in front of him and let him use his fire breath to attack me, instead.)
>>1042913I just think it's cool and FF11 helped inspire a lot of isekai. I enjoy this type of setting.
Leveling skills in retail is awkward because your job level increases at such a faster rate. Leveling without any ring in retail is still faster than leveling with a ring in Horizon. I wonder what the overall game would be like if you could only ever have a single trust out at a time like some other games.
>>1042992I lived that life, actually. I got myself a healer Adventuring Fellow that I could skillchain with and spent all of my leveling time looking for camps with Decent Challenge/Even Match mobs to duo. It took me half a year to get to 60 on two jobs (this is back in 2010).
What's a sponsored linkshell relic? Is it a scam?
>>1043041Yes.
>>1043054Oh okaySaw a linkshell that said they do sponsored relics for members only. Apparently, members can buy currency from linkshell bank when it's not sponsored, but idk. And some DKP auction. The justification seems to be that the currency funds the Dynamis runs
>>1043084It's a good way to just scam members of their time to funnel officers a relic.
>>1043088I can see it considering how after people get their Dynamis gear drops, the only reason to attend is for currency to sell or currency to use for a relic, and I don't think I care about relic
>>1043096You can still earn the currency and sell it for a profit. Better to all pay in and split the drops.
why the fuck farm dyna for currency when you can fish helm or craft
What are you doing in Vana'diel right now?
>>1043248SEX WITH HUME
>>1043248Playing for the first time. I don't know how to approach other people. I did so once and he only threw bg-wiki links at me and ran away.
>>1043267Which server?
>>1043248Chilling with the homies :3
>>1043267Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing, most of the current batch of players are very lazy with new players that way. Then you get the few peeps like me who'll casually walk across the continent with you, but nobody ever finds us, because we're off stuck grinding some legendary weapon to kill time during newfriend droughts.
>>1043281>Then you get the few peeps like me who'll casually walk across the continent with youI love doing that, especially if it's the initial walk to Jeuno. It always makes me sad seeing how many people tell newbies about the unity warps right out of the gate. Sure, it's convenient, but it's a little lame skipping over your first big trek.
I've been playing for a year and have never been to Jeuno. I realize how retarded that sounds. I've been in Windurst this whole time.
>>1043297It's understandable, but what server
>>1043377Verizon
>>1043382Incredible, are you a professional moat carp fisher or roleplaymaxxer?
>>1043384solomaxxer
>>1043217How do I into helm?
goobbueeeeeeeee
why couldn't xiv have all the gearswap autism xi has? I love doing varied content to get obscure equipment pieces for +5 to Spell Interruption Rate Down to cast 1 specific spell
>>1043267don't be afraid to /yell in town if you need help beating something, even if you think no one else stands to gain by helping. I still answer calls in yell to open doors and inconsequential things like that because its an escape from the endless grind and its nice to feel useful
>1.2 delayedWell boys, pack it up. Nothing to do but gilprint and do relic sponsor scams for the rest of the year.
>>1043581You forgot fapping together with other cute Mithra
>>1043248Kissing girls assholes
Spending all day to level up 1 job level. Yep, it's the good old days.
>>1043581>having hope they'd release with 0 communication all month
>>1044006Good old days of spamming bubbly bernie to have some spare money
>>1043581Kipling's alright sometimes
>play on retail>bots galore, paying for a game that's run by a company that barely cares about it anymore>play on private server>it's run by and inhabited by a bunch of 40 year old+ unstable groomer queens Ah, choices.
>fishing peepo poster is still alive
>>1043662I'm the ice staff.
>>1044168pservers die after a year, so unless you have a static it's not worth your time
>>1044306I don't know, we've still got a solid 2k US time, which is the same as a retail server, bots, multibox and all. How long did Nasomi go for? 6 or so years before Horizon picked up the remaining players from that and Wings and Eden?
>>1044168Only people who play this game are 40 year old groomer queens, welcome.
>>1044464Excuse you, I'm 37
anyone wanna
What's the best private server to like "demo" before trying retail? We tried playing a little before just to see, but now we wanna try and we don't really feel like setting up a new SE account for 11. Thoughts? Maybe Catseye since it has trusts?
>>1044522Yup, if you're specifically looking to demo current retail before putting down money on the expansions + monthly tip, then I think Catseye is as close as it gets
>>1044232based
>>1044306Nasomi, catseye, eden are still alive
>>1044733>NasomiHow alive?
>>1044741103 players online now. 192 on eden.
>>1044481groom me pls
>>1044481groom me first
>>1045019i asked first
>>1044776That's like 50 actual players each, probably less
