1:37:39 didn't Emet come for Amon at the very end of Allag, soon before they triggered the 4th calamity. But since Allag made Ultima Weapon then Lahabrea would have been complicit as well in some capacity.
The shape of the Starlight zone (square-ish with a noodly path leading into it) made me think of the 1.0 Shroud map. Obviously it would've been completely repopulated with new assets and such, but it wouldn't be the first time they've taken a piece of map that got deleted in the ARR transition and reused it. Can any 1.0 veteran confirm of deny this?
I forgive square enix a bit with ffxiv mobile. They are trying to appease ff to the next generation of customers, who love their phones. Imagine, ten years from now at gaming conventions a ten year old goes to a booth with 5 minute trial of a game. There are two options: controller or large touchable screen. My pc game start self feels ancient. Please I hope they keep more progression going on main game first though. we are still here. level 100 relic instance would be lovely with a mix of complexity between all of the previous ones.
My biggest beef with the Oschon story is that they could've explained the whole purpose behind the Twelve, or addressed any of the critiques. But no!! Just him being comedicaly unobservant. It was the only short story I disliked, and it stems from the cracks writing issues with Myths of the Realm where they didn't seem to know wtf they were doing with it from the very start and were just old "make an alliance raid with the Twelve" and had to rush it. 8.0 probably void expac, if the short story is any indication! I'm fine with that, they seem more comfortable with the Void than other aspects and I'd rather the writing team get their shit together more before we go to visit Tiamat and maybe they can shake it off by working with something like the void.
Time will tell, I really like this version of ffxiv for arr, we will see how it goes from HW and on. but like... you can earn poetics as you are doing your leveling, so you can gear your max level jobs and level your lower jobs at the same time, thats just nice and give leveling more value for both instead of just 1 thing. Theres other stuff as well that you can make a huge list of things that are nice that I wish we could have, and it makes me wanna look forward to playing arr again.
I love how they added the store outfits/full sets in 1 slot in the dresses while they still dont give Viera and Hroths no hats even when they promissed to add more in Shadowbringers... Im yet to use the feature simply because i dont care for hats at this point. im not going to go out of my way to grab them only to save a few glam dresser slots. Or the fact they "cant release job req for glaming gear as it will ruin imersion" ... yea the frog suits, squirrel suits etc are way less immersion breaking than a red mage using a black mage hat.
I feel like in terms of the argument of the game being built on the skeleton of 1.0 and that they can't fix things because we wouldn't get content is kinda cope. If they can give us content and release schedules like they have thus far in this expansion and in EW then I think they can totally just say F it and give us some mid core grindy content that gives the devs more time to focus on rebuilding the infrastructure. People would complain but content would be there and they would have a good reason for it. Idk maybe thats a crazy take but I feel like more and more this sore thumb is sticking out.
I think they were able to get XIV Mobile to look the same as the retail version because the graphics on the retail version are very, very dated. Even after the 2024 'update', retail XIVs graphics sadly look no better than a PS4 launch game from 2013 (which actually makes a lot of sense)... I would reckon it was quite easy for Lightspeed to achieve graphical parity. Regarding other features and qol that FAR exceed the retail version, all they've done is add basic modern day game functionality that any game released today would have. It only seems impressive to a veteran XIV player because CU3 has kept the game running in such an awful state, blaming spaghetti code and other such nonsense when modders have fixed most of the game's problems with no official support! This has meant it has lacked these basic features for the past decade and now the mobile version gets them all day one? Such a slap in the face for long time players and loyal fans of the game. 😞
Can you give an example of things the modders fixed? And no, viera and hrothgar hats dont count. Thats them just not interested in finishing those, nothing broken.
@@nekromanta167 There's mods for improved graphics, improved ping/latency, improved in-fight pulled back camera view distance to help see what is going on on big arenas (most games would just call this an accessibility feature, not cheating), housing mods, control input mods to assist disabled players, UI mods, mount mods, oh and Viera and Hrothgar hats DO count specifically because SE couldn't be bothered to add the feature, but it CAN be fixed... That's the whole point! Btw I'm not naming any of these mods because using them is against terms of service, so while I am aware of their existence I do not recommend actually using them and I have never used any of them. But there are fixes, that's my point, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!!
your blind love for ffxiv is insane, there is a TON of UI in the mobile game that is better than the main game, not one person has said ALL the mobile game ui is better, you are just making stuff up XD
That opening got me good holy shit. If I wasn’t already bald, that would have scalped me 😂

I would have loved the one slot idea, but you can't save dyes so it's useless for me :\ Not even more glamour plates.
