Review of 6.3 Story Content

[SannaR]

I was hoping we would get more stuff done this patch, but we just got baited by Cagnazzo and they destroyed our portal, that's it, I guess the focus of this patch was Zero's character development (which was something I've seen a hundred times but eh, I hope she stops spamming that tip hat emote from now on).
But we fight Golbez next patch for sure. SURELY things will start to become interesting in 6.4, right?

I feel she does it or did it due to being uncertain about how to respond to things. Like it comes off as the same way someone might fidget with the hem of their shirt sleeve or the hem of their shirt. Or biting of their lower lip. I'm fairly certain we will see a lot more build up and more action mid way to late in 6.4.

If it truly wants to follow FFIV I would see the dungeon we fight his sister because he had a shadow dragon so he may possess her...then the trial be him. But that is if they follow 4 closely that could of course be completely different.

thats what I was thinking as well, more of a thing to do when you dont know what to do or say. does she do it a lot, yes, yes she does. does it drive me like some, no, I just look at it as a personality thing like the WoL does when they are thinking...

If we are not getting a new version of Zeromus' theme, I'm gonna be majorly dissapointed.

This has been a big topic amongst my friend group. Its not a coincidence that this entire expansion is heavily inspired by IV and we're literally going down the list of boss fights from IV. With all of that and knowing how things go with Golbez and subsequentially Zeromus (Zemus prior to his death and his emotions forming Zeromus) after that. Having a character in XIV having the name Zero, there is no way thats just a coincidence. I'd be heavily shocked, if Zeromus doesn't play a part in 6.5 or 7.0.

We are at the precipice of a new Arc, and we have no idea.., What's do f..,ing ever, to know what they are planning.

[didn't exactly play IV, but..,]
if they don't pull that thread within the 6.x series, those threads will probably exist somehow..,

off the top of my head, it's possible we save the missing Dragon, but in exchange for something.., a reason to return.., but that's just random piecing a possibility of what we have to make a potential sense.


[off topic, not sure what has happened these past pages, but I can't be bothered to check. thanks for letting know to not check]

For me up to ShB Hydelean and Zodiark felt like they were going beat for beat of the Altana Vs Promethean storyline from XI.

I kept telling myself I wouldn't reply in this thread so it would perhaps finally die, but: Shadowbringers was just the plot of Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia slammed together, you cannot change my mind.

...that's not a bad thing, btw, I loved both of those expansions lol. CoP is my absolute fave out of XI anyway.

No idea. I gotta figure out where I left off and catch up at. There is some snacks in the back.

I think the Four Fiends are decently written. Like, what we see of their past in the side quest is really good and lets us get an idea of their motives and what life was like during the Contramemoria (Its just a sin that all that is hidden in a side quest and not incorporated into the MSQ itself.) The writers just decided that they where not going to be long-term characters in whatever they have lined up. It sucks when that happens to characters you like (I still miss you Moenbryda...) but it happens. I wonder if the complaints about the Four Fiends would be the same if they where unique FFXIV creations, or if some are putting them on pedestals just because of their legacy.
