Fordola deserves a happy ending

Ooooh that's an interesting one. I am very much on the fence with Fordola. While I can understand the feeling of doing whatever you have to do to survive in the face of discrimination, most of her actions were inexcusable. However, I also believe in redemption, and I feel like Fordola should be given the opportunity to achieve it. Whatever redemption means for her.

game needs to be shut down for 6 mo- 1 yr and come out with "FFXIV a realm reloaded"

It would be great, the matrix of the gaming world.

Stay tuned for FFXIV, warrior of light revolutions

Hope you took the red pill

Version 1.23b was better.

Wish there was more fear of death in the game. Through powerful monsters in the over world, need to actually think in a dungeon, and a death penalty that is more than the party disbanding cause it didnt happen on the first try. I know we are getting "something" like that in eureka but even then, it sounds tentative.

Well...

- I could use more solo-able content. The enrage timers should go and those prey mechanics (that's a enrage timer for who's soloing) should go off

- The healer community gives me the impression that playing with then means hearing during all the run he ranting about how bad you are and how little are your DPS according with his parser. Even when you, as healer, overdamage a DPS player. But for them, an ice mage, an mute bard, a AoE-lass anyone or someone that don't get out of that red circle is somewhat moral and beautiful and they're contributing more that that damn healer that is wasting every GCD trying to keep that same party alive while all his oGCDs is on cooldown.

- Speaking of healer, I think that most content can be safely solo-healed if the other 7 persons are competent enough. Even Bahamut Prime was solo-healed. If they aren't, 2 healers can not be enough. No healer can save someone who steps on stupid everytime. He only delays its death...

- Yet about healing, if healing on this game is about DPS'ing, healers could use some more potency. Like.... Maybe... 50% more? Casting the same spell over and over and over and over... Is boring. If SE can't bring more damaging spells for us or even create a proper rotation, at least let us melt our enemies faster spamming that filler. It is boring to spend 4~5 GCDs to take down a single trash mob on PoTD, while RDM take down the same mob at the same level with a single GCD

- I enjoy FATEs. Sometimes I stop to do them, normally solo.

- I find the buff times too short and the GCD is too slow. And melding Spell Speed is worthless, since the difference isn't noticeable on cast time. 0.2 seconds is not that worth.

I just want the characters to stop huffing paint because the plot demands it. I just finished 4.2 last night and throughout the entire thing I called out the twist, including all the particulars within the opening minutes of the new bad being introduced. Having to sit back and watch everyone be oblivious /AGAIN/ was grating. Especially when they /finally/ caught on when it was too late to do a damn thing. We're back to ARR levels of character stupidity for plot progression and I'm honestly sick of it, especially when it forces genuinely smart characters to be idiots because the writers can't figure out how to reach a specific plot point any other way but to reduce their intelligence.

snip.

I was a bit annoyed at the end of 4.2 because I made my character point out they didn't agree with the situation, then my character is shocked at the end? Why? I wish SE would create scenario responses to your options. I.e choice A = path 1, choice B = path 2. All they would need to change is an emote reponse, the text wouldn't even need to change. :weary:

It feels like... why give us text choice options if said choices don't actually make a difference to the overall cutscenes. xD
I understand it's to give the illusion of choice but... eh.. it's not that great.

I had always wondered why the official forums never included an art section considering Lodestone hosts for various kinds of art contests often.

Apparently the reason is Reddit has the edge on that. Wish it weren't the case since I hate that joint, too, and Tumblr is the RP hub as well. That's a lot of stuffto parse through for decent fanart

Here's one, I think Alphinaud's a great character, and I love that we've gotten to watch him grow into a stronger man. He's like the little brother I never had.
