4.3 is amazing

[KisaiTenshi]

Thank you for that.

And then you had to go quote it before I edited it. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the forum on patch day.

That's a nice way to say sorry.

There is no "spoiler alert" in the title. So, I naively thought it was a regular appreciation thread, where people would be nice enough to hide the hot stuffs (some people did it actually). But yeah, all my fault, right? I mean, I could have insult you for this, or begin a witch hunt, but I'm just here, very annoyed by your previous comment. Nothing more.

Oh, and yeah, I quoted you and removed the spoiler from it, so... There is that too. I'm not stupid enough to let it in the quote, but nice try.
Your comment was here during almost 30 minutes also, but yeah, it was my whole plan to quote you before you had the chance to edit it.

I understand they wanted to make the storyline for the 24 man as good as the MSQ line.
They failed.
Long storylines are usually awesome, but not when 80% of the NPCs involved are insufferable asshats and/or Moogles.

Raid itself was fun and visually impressive.

MSQ and trial was damn good.

You came to the forum, knowing full well that people are going to spoil the game. The comment was up 20 minutes before YOU decided to be a jerk about it.

I was a jerk about it? I just said "thank you" because I was very annoyed by it (or disappointed, choose the word you prefer), nothing more. And I reminded you the fact that we could hide spoilers. :/
I should be the one very pissed about the situation. I even explained why I didn't expect that kind of naked comment here. But, I guess you read what you want.



Honestly, I don't understand the drama here, Kisa.
Yes, your comment was up during 20 minutes, but I didn't wait those 20 minutes to comment too ; I did comment only when I saw it, and it wasn't edited yet : so there wasn't any dark and sneaky plan behind it. Then you've edited your message when you have seen mine (and it was a good thing from you). I've even seen your first try with the [spoiler]text[/spoiler] that didn't work, so I was glad to see you trying to fix it. But even this, it was several minutes after my comment. So I didn't try to lie or being a jerk, or whatever you think, by quoting without your edited message, since my comment came way before you even think about editing yours. And even with that, I didn't insult you once, or tried to portray you as a bad person : mistakes happen. I was just disappointed and sad because I took that spoiler in the face when I would have loved seeing it by myself, nothing more. And I knew it was also part of my fault, since I should have avoided the forum just in case of.

Then you blamed me for having read your comment not edited, because... Somehow, I was wrong to say anything about it. When a little sorry or nothing, nothing can be good too (especially after that you edited the comment to hide spoilers), would have been way much better than what you did. Sure, it wasn't the best idea to come on the forum the first day, since people can't always think about the others (or are in an euphoric state), but still... It happened.
And I trully thought people were aware of this since Lambdafish already stated something about the spoilers on the very same thread. And then you called me a jerk. And I'm still trying to figure it out why. Even if I should have been the one very angry about it, not you, but... The funny part is : I wasn't.
So yeah, I'm quite baffled by the situation. But, it's ok.

I liked the MSQ, especially the fate of two certain characters. Also the last part was great too even if it took a while to be playable..(chair ex ftw)

I did not like the 24 man raid that much. Two of the bosses were fine, the third one was alright (but that lasers...why?) but the last one was just a nightmare for me. Too much happening at the same time. The story itself was okay but nothing outstanding. I really thought that it would be much better after they said that they want to make it epic, that its long and that a lot of budget went into this..and then they give us THAT quest? My two ingame friends and I raged throught that quest the whole time since it was just so bad..It gave a bit more information but I still felt that a lot of bosses were just random there and only make sense if you know the old FF game..and Alma is the only person of that family that I care for. The other two can just die..

Also didnt they say that the 24 man had also something for crafters and gatheres or I am remembering that wrong? Also where was the content that somehow would really awe us and was a secret? I really hope that they dont mean the part of the MSQ with that because even though it was nice, it really was not that awesome.

Namazou was great and I do like the characteristics of the beast tribe and I am curious what they have in store for us. (And I love their music)

I had hoped that the doman enclave would be a bit more (kinda like the delivery quests but with more items and bigger quantities). Instead you can just throw anything that you can sell in there, even materia. I am not sure how that would help with building the city but yeah. Still was positively surprised that you need quite a bit stuff if you want to reach the weekly budget.

The four lords were funny and the dungeon alright. It has a nice look and music, but I found the bosses to be really easy. Also I got the gear from the winning contest and wore it for a short time but glamoured something else..the body looks fine but the cape..it glitches with my tail and the weapon and it looks soo off when I moved. The only way it looked fine was when standing still. If you are moving it has such a bad animation that I could not look at it for too long..(and I did not like how it would color) I feel a bit sad for the winner because for me they did not do justice with this implementation.

I'd like to thank yoshi for finally creating openworld raid content.

Yeah, colour me completely unimpressed with 4.3.

Opinions vary, but let's say for the sake of argument the MSQ is AAA. Let's say that Ridorana is a blast, and an upgrade in every way over Rabanastre, as well as the new Trial and Dungeon. So what? The MSQ is a one-off, and the Raid / Trial / Dungeon will be old hat within a couple of weeks, because they're shallow pieces of content that are essentially recycled, repainted versions of previous shallow content.

So too with the Namazu Tribe (again, even if the storyline is great, the turn-in quests are recycled versions of Ixal and Moogles), and the Doman Enclave, which is basically just a new NPC to sell things to that pays you a bit more than other NPCs do (I hate to think of the long-term effects this place will have on inflation...).

Where's the meat? Where's the long-term content that doesn't feel stale within two weeks' time? And how on earth are people happy with yet another patch day that features absolutely nothing really new?

I enjoyed the trial in the Main Quest and the end after, however it felt like up unto to that point that there were wayyyy too many cutscenes and very little time actually doing stuff so didn’t feel tas satisfying as previous patches and a bit unbalanced due to more watching than doing.

Also it took agggges to unlock the raid - the wine stuff just seemed pointless and I ran out of time so didn’t get to do it, alone or with my free company.

I also didn’t manage to unlock or do the new dungeon yet.

Not having to warp around all of Eastern La Noscea, talking to drunkards and homeless apes.

I agree this quest line and the fish quests too much teleport here, teleport there and to change it up let's make a longer route you have to fly to before teleporting back. I felt like a rubber band. Other than that the MSQ story is good and teh new instanced content is as well.
