Been rewatching some FFXIV vids as I play through the free trial and something I would love to see make a comeback would be Hard mode dungeons. I guess because I'm a lore nerd it would be nice to revisit some old dungeons for more story fluff and semi-difficult casual content.

I'm hoping with all this talk of 'mOrE cOnTeNt' and 'BiGgEr BuDgEt' that means more than just Chaotic or Criterion content. I mean ffs you could easily have some fun adding in more stuff to get the fans frothing like Shadowbringers Hard Mode dungeons or give us some more shit to do in Elpis.

I believe it was stated that HM dungeons had one of the lowest engagement rates among players. Which I can easily believe given that they were shuffled onto their own roulette AND were optional to start to begin with.

That's depressing. I guess playing through ARR again was just making me nostalgic for some of the stuff I missed from older expansions like extra optional dungeons. Especially since some of those dungeons had neat lore bits (Like Ampadoor featuring Sineaters before ShB) or just great stories (people still love Tam-Tara HM for Edda).

I think that with modern design choices the hard mode dungeons could work. Make the unlocks more clear and simpler, like Savages etc. Make them decently rewarding with tomestones, pets, etc. Finally slap them into the expert roulette that usually only has two or three dungeons in it anyway.
 
People who talk about WoW dungeons having "routes" must've never touched xiv. The fact dungeons scale means they always play the same, start to end, 2015 to 2025. Two groups, CDs, reset, boss. Repeat. As much as I look back at xiv dungeons with fond memories, the fact I haven't heard about the game in probably half years says it's not doing too well.

I prepped myself for like this long drawn out grind in Oizys for CE but the upgrade is only 3 levels instead of 5 like in Phaenna or 9 on the Moon.
Okay so this will be faster than I thought..

Sex comedy OVA series Golden Boy

Specifically from the final episode.

Addendum: There's no actual sex in the OVA but there are boobs and 2 masturbation scenes (done by a woman using a fucking motorcycle) in the 5th episode. Series is short, only 6 episodes, but I highly recommend.

Wish I could say the same about the manga...

Yeah, the game is notorious for having the most obnoxious fucking attention whores whenever a streamer plays the game.
They follow them around the entire stream, spam battle effects, constantly initiate trades and backseat game. It's awful and honestly, any streamer who plays the game on stream can have their experience ruined. It's just not the same as playing it off stream.

I get that they try to make community this whole thing, but a lot of people just take it too far. Every time I've seen a stream about the game, the streamer always and I mean always has to tell their viewers to chill the fuck out because they either try to tell them how to play the game or get mad when they don't react to things the way they want. Don't even get me started on the people who have a meltdown if the streamer gets distracted from MSQ or something.

The most well known example of this is when Asmongold played. He liked the game so much he even played it off stream a lot. But people were getting impatient with him because he wasn't doing the MSQ at the pace his viewers wanted. They pestered him relentlessly about it until he got fed up and just quit the game altogether because he was tired of people bothering him and it stopped being fun for him.

My only experience with streamers in this game is running into a lot of players in ultima thule mounted and standing in a big circle, told a friend about it and we found out they were cheering on a couple that streamed together and were finishing the EW MSQ, It was cute more than anything.
I do agree that the people who do backseat gaming get really annoying.

Sidenote: stuff like this makes me wish square added more stuff to do in the overworld.

reminds me when phantasy star online 2 relaunched as new genesis and SEGA pandered HARD to streamers. Some players didn't take kindly to this, so they made it their job to follow streamers around, spam shout chat and symbol arts (little images you could 'draw' with an in-game editor, so you could have pretty much anything) with stuff you couldn't show on stream.
Sega moved VERY quickly to limit those features, which mind you had sat unmoderated for YEARS by that point, and added a bunch of extra stuff to block other players, on top of banning anyone caught pestering streamers.

Decided to do a ARR Zodiac weapon for achievement and glamour and even nerfed to the ground the grind is still extremely tedious. I’m surprised I was able to complete that grind when it was current and pre nerfed. Atma drops were fine but the book step just drags. I’m on my last book and FATE spawns for all of them are the fucking worst, even if you janny sweep the entire zone to clear out the current FATES the zones loves to respawn the same three ones over and over. I eventually gave up clearing FATES and just camped the spawn points.

Also the Kobold mobs are the worst in the “kill X amount of enemies” part of the books. The mines are annoyingly claustrophobic and the mobs are way too spread out.

I completed 3 ARR relics and it was the worst fucking grind. It was bad back then and it's still ass now all these years later. After I finished the WHM ARR relic, which took literal years to finish, I decided not to do any of them ever again.
Now if I use it in glamor, it'll show everyone that I was a fucking retard that did this stupid fucking grind for a glamor that I'll get bored of in a week.

I know people complain about just paying tomes to get weapons, but my God, if I had to do an annoying arbitrary grind for each weapon, I'd hang myself. In a game where you can play multiple fucking jobs and need multiple weapons, it doesn't make any sense to me to make getting each weapon a fucking chore. I'm too employed to no life this game, I don't have as much time now as I did years ago. I can tell you that as a working adult hag, I appreciate just logging in, doing some roulettes, paying tomes, getting my weapon and be fucking done with it so I can go do other things, log off and go to sleep so I can work my 2 jobs.
 
I much prefer the current setup where it's a grind for the first weapon, then you just pay tomes for subsequent weapons. As much as I was irritated by the light farming step locking me in Crystal Tower jail for weeks, doing the other roulette's let me do several dungeons I haven't seen in years which was a nice change of pace.

I'm currently on the Crystal Paste step and it's nice to have a variety of activities to do in order to get the materials required, but it's also great I only have to do it once.

Relics are pretty much never "worth" getting, though. They're always worse than augmented crafted gear, tome weapons, or extreme weapons until the very final patch. If you just care about actually getting a weapon, there is literally no reason to ever get relics unless you're planning to have literal BiS in the final patch of the expansion when having gear is beyond irrelevant, or if you just want them for the achievements or glam. And if it's for the latter? Good. Let it be a grind.

That bad huh? Was thinking about doing one or two to pad out the playtime for the Free Trial since I never did any of them. But all I've heard about the ARR Relics is they look really nice but not worth the hassle.
 
As someone who goes for achievements, I personally like the current expansion relic grind because it allows me to focus on other stuff as well and not dedicate my life to Bozja or sitting in Pagos all day just to get a single weapon upgrade.
But even i'll admit there's literally no reason to go for more than just one relic if you don't care for those achievement numbers going up.
