Endwalker: The most weeb expansion.

Stormblood has been dethroned! Endwalker will be the new weeb expansion!
Sage is basically a Gundum reference.
Reaper is basically a Hollow Ichigo (Bleach) reference.
It's about two entities that are the closest to god.
The expansion is literally brought to you by the Power of God and Anime.

This was very, very serious that needed to be brought to everyone's attention. You may resume your foruming now.

Not really, reaper is more of a Europe thing honestly, and im taking it aa death or some kinda van hellsing thing..

As for sage spinning swords not rlly its just a typical game mage ability anyone who has played breath if fire or any ps1 rpg outside ff would know that.

Also no soul reaper uses a real scythe in bleach (not counting chain bs) nor do they call out to a hallow they are just a spirit within visords


In fact counting old sharl is basicly anything greek design and the other is india reaper/sage are greek references fool

Reaper is more if anything a hades refernce if anything.

And sage is just well all the historic sages are from greece

i thought the same thing. time for hunt

I also saw bloodborne, at least when in default mode- which is a good thing cause bloodborne is awesome :cool:

For the transformation it's a pretty cool devil trigger like model though I do hope there is some ultimate devil trigger moment (like DMC, where they go full demon).

I take it as SE are huge Bloodborne/DS-Fans. The current stone- and Edengear bascially scream Bloodborne too.

Honestly when I saw reaper I thought first bloodborne then reaper from gw2

I got 3 things from Reaper:

1. Death
2. Reaper enemies from Devil May Cry complete with claw
3. Bloodborne

As for Sage I got:
1. Sch with flying bits
2. Jazz
3. That it >_>

Tonight, Yoshida-San joins the Hunt.

hmmm, that's really stretching it, OP. Sure, sage is basically Nu Gundam but reaper? Bloodborne outfit similarities aside, everything else doesn't scream Bleach (Didn't Hollow Ichigo simply made use of the same sword Ichigo did? It was Rukia who used a scythe and that was in a movie). If anything, I get--dare I say it--Kingdom heart's D A R K N E S S vibe from it.

While I don't agree with OP, but show me the moment where bloodborne hunter summons ghosts and turns into black robed reaper. AF gear looks similar, and thats it.

Now we just need a Bloodborne x Final Fantasy XIV event.

Yeah I agree, the WoL in the trailer was very Japanese.

:rolleyes: Next you'll say Naruto's kinda feeling a bit like a ninja story.

Q: Please tell us what are the specialties of the new job- Reaper?

Yoshi: Everyone in the community, especially the western community had been very vocal about the idea of using a scythe as a weapon for at least 3 to 4 years now. When we were thinking about what a new job should be, the concept of a job that not only relies solely on their own power, but something external had become a central idea. Eventually, I decided there should be an additional avatar/minion fighting for the player and its appearance will change as the special meter fills up.

When someone suggested a high-school syndrome-ish *1 idea: a job where its power gets increasingly more intense as the battle goes on- the idea was immediately agreed by the whole team. It is easy to visualise how something like this would look, so it was easy for the design team too.

(*1: Basically, a term use to describe high schoolers undergoing puberty trying to act cool with angsty poses: like covering one of their eyes etc. and pretending they are trying to suppress their inner power)

Well then...I love it! :p:D

My retainer is Gehrman and I have been begging for a pegleg glam for ages. SE.. let me hack my retainer's leg of.. for the cosplay..

He's been a dragoon all this time. Looks like he's going to need to be rerolled.

It is bizarre how we've become slightly medieval like fantasy to "go go Gundam fighting force" so hard over the years. Between all the glam options, reaper now having that anime MMO animation vibe, the gundams like you mention and everything else... I wouldn't call it a Final Fantasy game anymore. Just generic Anime simulator with some FF references in it.

-headdesk- you must not have played any of the other games. This is literally Final Fantasy. This is how the series is.

I've played most of them actually. I do not expect them all to be 1-3 obviously. That said, every final fantasy had some kind of setting with rules of how that era behaved however. This one clearly doesn't. If you want to excuse it for being an MMO, FFXI didn't have this issue. There was some advanced technology sure, because of an advance race wiped out... as did FFXIV at first. However it was a tame sprinkle of content. Which is fine. Now we seem to have more advanced tech being randomly found then the tech level of the surrounding world we're in. THAT is an issue. Also I don't remember the other FF games weebing out as hard as 14 has. Hence my comment on the glam and new reaper animations.

Think maybe all that head desking is creating memory loss if you think otherwise.

pretty much every ff has some sort of super advanced lost civilization

Most other FFs don't have you find as much ancient tech as XIV, while at the same time, most don't span the number of years in game than FFXIV does. It is only natural that as tech is found the tech level is going to change.

Reaper struck me as Bloodbourne meets JoJo meets Death Note. I know a few people that are super hyped for it.

I mean... the whole 2.0 story was about us taking out a glorified Gundam suit. Garleans have always been super technological, and with their two most prominent engineers working for us and a scion of Allag allowing us to access more ancient tech, it makes sense than we're seeing the fruits of that labour.

You're comparing single player games with an ending to XIV with no ending. Ofcourse the tech is going to grow. That happens... hell it happens in one of the single player games too. FFX to FFX-2 so yes just like the normal series. XIV isn't doing anything different but not ending. My point still stands.

Not really it more of an apocalypse expansion.
