[Spoiler] Omega 1-4 + Story feedback

[Yasuhiro]

Someone really hating on FFV music? :c

About the story, as I haven't finished it I just have to say...

If you want something epic, you don't put a doll-like chocobo in the middle as the raid leader.

FFXIV isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's a game where a character shot himself up in the air to destroy dalamund (or however you spell it) a game where in the Japanese versions bosses shout their finishing moves like anime characters, the chocobo tales chocobo is cute and a nice throwback to an obscure game. You don't have to like it but FF has never really been srsbuziness

So a questionably canon comic relief side quest and what i'm pretty sure is just a very common trope for japanese media.

The game doesn't have to be 100% serious all the time but you can't blame people for not respecting this story

While I get the point, you're literally comparing an entrance cutscene of the first raid tier of which we don't even know the conclusion for yet, with the ending cutscene of a last raid tier where all the pieces have fallen into place.

I feel a lot of people here are just looking for something to nitpick about.

Also the emptiness is made to convey the blank canvas Omega is able to work with. We came into his world and from that very moment he was able to erase us if he so chose.

It is true that those cutscenes are in very different places in their narratives, but I think we're all able to guess how much investment we will be able to put on this raid's cast come its final arc, and compare it to the dramatic weight of the game's first raid. I for one can't predict an outcome where that sapient plush toy will even hold a candle to Alisae's very personal journey through the coils.

I was really hoping for Nero and Cid's relationship to be at the forefront of the story and its development. Now I fear it's just going to be all about why this moe blob chicken is here and why everyone is taking it seriously.

And I {scar} thought they {scar} couldn't get worse than {scar} Mide =.=

I don't think anything will live up to Coil considering it was about the freaking dragon that already caused a freaking calamity, ended 1.x's story, and paved the way into 2.x's world. Alexander and Omega by comparison are new threats to the world and we need to put them down to prevent a new calamity.

Nero and Cid are still getting good development, and will likely have even more of a focus as the raid continues. You can't exactly blame the Chocobo for taking much of the focus when it's a new character. I mean if you really want to talk about investment and quality of writing, I can just as easily say that it took WAY too long for Alisae to decide that she actually wanted to protect the world of her own volition instead of 'because she only wanted to understand her grandfather's motives', which is probably even worse when considering she was like that since the very start of the game. Which is to say, everything good about Coil was basically backloaded into the second half of the raid, and especially crammed into the last two fights. Plus Coil didn't have any new characters to introduce anyway.

So many people seriously take writing, especially the establishment of a background and pacing, for granted.

I really enjoyed Omega. I mean, given what was said I wasn't expecting it to be hard. It's normal mode, and only the first set of bosses at that. But the FFV music was awesome, and I already love the aesthetic and story a lot more than Alex.

[Addicted]

I enjoyed it. First and second bosses were a complete joke, third was amazing and fourth was nice. I know the music was from FFV but it was pretty forgettable. Story seems to be heading down an interesting path. I'm looking forward to it when it gets completed 1 year from now.

[Unsung_Wanderer]

Agreed not very inspired IMO hope things get better in the next release

Man I got to say....you are the most respected casual that I ever seen since a loooong time, thx for your honest opinion and hoping people will drop their flowery view and be honest for the future of this game !!!
