Bring Back the Soul To FFXIV:ARR

[JemC]

If you don't like the teleporter than don't use it. I happen to like them. It annoyed me how long it took to get around in FFXI. I would quit if SE made porting more expensive. I AM TRYING TO SAVE MONEY FOR A HOUSE! I do not need anything more expensive tyvm.

LEAVE THE TELEPORTERS ALONE !!!

I'd load a video, but I'm pretty sure I would either get a challenge/solo video, or one that makes the entire encounter look trivial.

Hmm the song got removed from this vid but I like it. At around 3:10 mark you can play the song Fields of Hope (original song used). I think most mmos look trivial when you watch it rather than play it especially if you don't understand the fight and because FFXI is slower combat. Like watching friends play single rpgs zzzzzz.

Actually, everyone keeps talking about strategy and co-op being necessary for these, but I can't find any strategies for actually tackling one of these that aren't Absolute Virtue (and lol at that), other than "can be solo'd by x class using y" and literally nothing else. Someone can take one of these and give a memorable example of a strategy needed to defeat one?

You would have too look for vids that are 3+ years old. And are not made by a RDM with mad skills named Avesta.. I think it was his name.

As for strategy... Well of the top of my head. You had Suzaku that used chainspell + Firaga III. So in olden times it was handled by shadowbinding and having everyone running away. No one could hit after shadowbind was on it, because that would break it. Although, it could be handled with a RDM chainspell + stun.

A lot of the cooperation also came in setting up Light and Dark skill chains that the BLMs could then Magic Burst on. It went out of fashion though after they added all the haste gear.

How long did it take before they made those big changes from 1.xx-1.23?

Almost 2 years.

Almost 2 years.

Well if they did it again is this the timeframe we'd be looking at for making the surroundings feel more livelier? Or longer maybe?

Servers are expensive.
