SHADOWBRINGERS

[Dualgunner]

Half of this debate just got kind of confirmed in the keynotes lmao

Lot of things to respond to, but homework comes first. Really all my responses will boil down to "I'm not sure that this whole 'balance' thing is being represented the best, but we'll see how things develop in the coming expansion because they have plenty of things to flesh out" though.

So hyped that the WoL hotswapped jobs in combat, and ended with a badass DRK form.

They barely fleshed anything out other than introduce the concept, and in a very digested way at that. We'll have to wait and see.

Well yeah, if they fleshed everything out already they wouldn't have much left to flesh out lol. Hopefully the balance feels less forced as Shadowbringers starts and develops.

I mean, it's all about things we don't know about, or barely know about. And even then, what we did learn was from the Word of the Mother, who, imo, is an unreliable narrator. Why would she tell us anything that would cause us to stop being her champion?
This is one of my fav tropes so I'm actually psyched for it. Didn't mind much SB's story unlike other people either so that I'm deffo hopeful for.

"final calamity" - The word final is what scares me. I just hope the game is not done after 5.x...

It is a fun trope, I agree. It needs to be handled well, which I know they can handle stories well.

Sometimes though the greatest twist is just playing things straight--like All Might. My favorite part about MHA is that he's a genuinely good guy, not the spin on the Superman trope that he's actually evil.

Makes me wonder if we'll end up an enemy of both Hydaelyn and Zodiark.

Yoshida has said that the story is planned up to 6.0 iirc. Game's not ending anytime soon

Thank you! That relieves the anxiety a bit. Now i just hope steam doesnt default to 32 bit windows when starting games and its all gucci

I dislike the fact that we have to be turned into a warrior of darkness but yeah.. we'll see soon enough where this goes i guess

Watching the hot swapping & the warping in this trailer was so reminiscent of FFXV....

Game has it's own launcher and the 32-bit option will disappear from the launcher.


And what do you mean with Steam defaulting to 32 bit exactly? Modern games with 64 bit run just fine in 64 bit trough Steam, most of these don't even have 32 bit support so ... ?

If that would mean a new FF MMO without spaghetti code and new modern engine, then I can't wait for this game to end.
