Review of 6.3 Story Content

[NekoMataMata]

Yeah I prefer Barbariccia's fight over Rubicante. But I also like that they design the fights to be different from each other. If every fight was like Barby it wouldnt be as fun.

Doesn't mean we can't get fast paced fights that are still different than Barbariccia's.

There were theories about parallels between the Twelve and the Convocation, as well as an hypothesis that they could have been created by the unsundered Ascians to help mankind back up immediately post-sundering.

Yes the Tariq know truth. Original German script 12 were No Shadow God team and guild is supporting them. Guild predict they created to dismantle human soul into the pentameld No Shadow soul to make the mustard rice. Now writer they trick us with the subvert expect and moving them to the team Venar and we are sad. 12 look like they is good but is bad.

Entire patch it is the buuz kill.

Usually I can't even try to parse what he says without going cross-eyed, but "buuz kill" is a pretty good line.

I liked the buuz scene! It also shows how far the devs are able to go now when it comes to animations compared to how rigged they're usually forced to be. Plus, the buuz looked pretty tasty. :3

Yes it was such a nice scene. Also a beautiful callback to Endwalker where "we" gave Jullus a meal and now he is the one sharing his with someone from our group. I was jealous I wanted a buuz in real life too T_T...

I also loved how much more lively the characters felt. Especially with their eyes.

Anyway I am just amused how reddit is now used as a sign that this is a bad patch, while as soon as reddit is quite positive towards something its just a echo chamber full of sheeps that downvote everything that disagrees with that toxic positive view.

funny, I noticed that as well. but the same applies here too. if you agree with the OP you are an okay person with intelligence, if you dont, you are a shill for the company. Reddit is just the latest "fact" that the OP uses to show how much EVERYONE hates the latest patch. as an "everyone" I do have to disagree with them since I am an uncultured lout who is quite enjoying it. is it a literary classic? no. are there no issues? no. but I am enjoying it and enjoyment is why I play a game.

as to why the OP plays a game... I admit I am at a loss...

On the Buuz scene, I honestly don't think Julius breaking bread with Zero was that bad or poor for the game itself. Nor do I think it was a waste of assets. It's honestly not hard to do what they did with the buuz, it's just two models and some tweening.

The buuz never bothered me (anyway).

What did was Zero being her usual "..." self while doing the hat-tipping. That was jarring.

Otherwise, on that scene? Given what we know of Zero, who has just gotten out of the Void, has interacted with only the scions and a couple servants, now on a completely different nation with people she knows were incredibly antagonistic toward us, she's trying to figure out why they'd be so buddy buddy now.

And to someone whose one and only point in the forums is deriding the story for it being an anime story, it's normal to fail to understand that, anime tropes aside, Zero's coming to terms with doing things and being charitable simply for the sake of it. To simply be reciprocal and doing good things because you're a good person. Of not needing equivalent exchange for every simple action performed for someone else. And Garlemald at the moment is the best study case. That's what that scene is setting up.

as to why the OP plays a game... I admit I am at a loss...

Usually he claims he does it because he likes the game and wants to see it succeed.

But when you consistently refuse any chance to change or improvement unless it fits what you yourself want, it shows that what you want isn't its success. It's to shove your own view of how the game should work down peoples' throats and not stray from it.

I say at the end of Endwalker, the WoL and all the scions should sit around a table and eat some succulent burgers.

Heck he uses a certain thread as a heavy crutch to try and say "See? This expansion and thus the game must be bad and going down hill if it's so long and still kicking." when the one time I poked my head in there to see if it was an I hate Venat and all the writing love fest only to find myself trying to follow a multi page philosophy debate that was examining every spec of dust. Which last time I checked was something the OP said he didn't enjoy.

6.3 story does seem like the filler you would mark as "just skip it, doesn't carry over to anything /shrug".

Both the MSQ and myths had me twitching the skip button so badly, lol.

Although the story was awful, I loved each and every fight, EX5, the alliance raid fights and their music are stellar. But really, the writers really need to stop turning Golbez into the Jailer and Zero being some Sylvanas slash Venat but edgier.
Rubicante was dealt a really bad hand IMO. He should have had far far more story time in the MSQ, and lead up to his fight, because the fight itself was actually pretty fun, and the theme was amazing too. Rubicante boy deserved much much better.
At this point, I really wish there was a third or fourth option in dialogue to simply diss the scions, and their obnoxious/insufferable characters, speaking of which that new femroe in the Myth story, is literally auto skip now.

I hope the writers for the new deep dungeon story aren't the ones behind the MSQ and Myth story, would feel a bit tragic to skip, if it goes full clownmode too.
