Possible to enjoy the game without RNG

[kidvideo]

Hi guys,

My friend is thinking of playing FFXIV but he hates anything that is random. Just want to hear everyone's opinion whether you think FFXIV can still be enjoyed without engaging in anything with RNG?

Your friend should give up on life or learn to accept it. EVERYTHING is random & will always be random. Even things that involve some skill have an underlying randomness in the calculations; chance to hit, critical hit, damage, etc. RNG is the fundamental core of an MMO, which has evolved from tabletop RPG/D&D/diceroll. The only thing that is certain is uncertainty itself.

lots of things are but not everything is.

Chance to hit is not random, once you're over the Accuracy cap, you can't miss.

EX Primal Weapons have no RNG at all, win all 3 fights, pick your weapon. Neither is any Soldiery or Myth gear.

worry about whether or not a hit Crits or an ability Procs is not worrying about RNG, that's extreme OCD and whoever has that problem should seek professional help asap.

Incorrect, especially this statement "Chance to hit is not random". Everything has a basis in randomness. Soldiery or Myth might not be random at the present but getting them involved RNG. RNG is the fabric of the universe, therefore, everything is random. From life, to stars, to how well your party performs on your primal ex battles.

100% is not random.

45 soldiery is 45 soldiery there's no RNG.

How your party performs is not random, you are free to choose who you party with and when. Don't play with people who are drinking.

stop trying to redefine a word to fit your ridiculous argument.
