Use of tools that allow players to more easily complete content. Discord?

Even if they do ban PC Discord, then players would just move to mobile Discord lmfao.

At this point all these 'discussion' regarding the recent lodestone announcement are sounding more and more like a meme as time goes by.

At this point I'm not sure anymore if people are trolling or just plain dumb.

They're actually that dumb.


Discord does not interact with the game. It is not a third party tool. Easy peasy.

A bit of both at this point I'd wager.

Most people are clearly overexagerating to point out the insanity and hypocrisy of some of the statements, arguments and bans of the past few days.

It's the flavour of them month, and it'll pass when the outrage crowd forgets about 3rd party tools again and the people baiting them no longer get any results. And then when the next Ultimate drops and people will still be using 3rd party tools cause SE still hasn't fixed the netcode and still hasn't implemented all UI improvements and still does not provide feedback on one's own performance, we'll go right back to having this discussion and these threads all over again. It happened after TEA, it is happening after DRU and I am sure it'll happen again after whatever the next high-profile high-difficulty fight is going to be.

Hahaha this is so funny thinking that I would not be allowed to talk with my brother while we're playing the game. I M A G I N E that.

Hey don't give Yoshi-p any ideas now, he might try PvP again and get clapped so hard he thanos snaps anyone with a discord overlay.

Well if the rumors about Sony acquiring SE are true

Sony already owns a minority stake in Discord

So then Discord would become a first party peripheral

problem solved

It's already arguably second-party since the platform owner (Sony in this case) has a business relationship with Discord and already provides some integration with it on the PS4/PS5, including when you are playing FFXIV.

Steam would also be more of a second party than a third party, meaning that Steam overlays or other integration would be fine.
