So who are the newest Omega bosses? Just spoil the thing so I can feel the disappointment without having to resub

>>15468561

Chaos from FF1 and Omega Weapon, the other two are a mystery right now.

>>15468525

Waiting on that TGS 2018 presentation.

>>15468568

I'm expecting GEO to make a showing. Theres been a lot of set up for it in SB and a lot of spells/skills used by enemies they could recycle.

HW>ARR>SB

this expansion has been pretty weak to be honest. I hope the next one presumably set in garlian homeland will be better.

Also holy fuck why have we not had a thread for so long?

>>15468685

Zero content for months, unless you've been wanting to discuss fucking Eureka?

>>15468725

For me what killed the expac is that the entire fucking endgame at this point is just

>REMEMBER THE OTHER FINAL FANTASIES THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIKED, WE SWEAR IT'S JUST AS GOOD HAVE MORE EUREKA MAYBE LMFAO EPIC KEFKA!!!1!

Also the story completely fell behind and once again entered the entire expansion feeling like a fucking filler arc to an anime

>>15468749

It should have just been an Ala Mhio expansion. But these are Japanese devs, maybe they thought Doma might be seen as too boring for japan? Part of Final Fantasies appeal in japan has always been a japanese take on western fantasy. From their perspective going from western castles and knights to grorrious nippon might have felt like going from Morrowind to Oblivion did in the west and it wasn't considered interesting enough to warrant an expansion of its own?

Its tough for us to say because unlike something like WoW we are the secondary market, not the domestic audience so its largely not made for our tastes.

>>15468757

I wouldn't say making a horrible expac that even japs are dropping the game as "not the primary market". The only Expacs I've seen drop the ball worse belong to blizzard's cash cow that they keep trying to kill.

That and "not the primary market" doesn't really hold up when even Doma was called "played out and thoughtless" on the JP side

>>15468779

Well with all the doma and ala mhigo 4.0 stories now wrapped up todays story content certainly shows its more focussed and directed in a long time. So far if you dont give a shit about spoilers

>Alphinaux headed to the empire was shot down over the Burn, rescued by Gaius Van Baelsar who's hunting down Ascians as revenge for all those killed when Lahabrea took control of the Ultima Weapon and blew up his legion showing they were no ally

>Doma is forming its own alliance like eorzea with the Xaela, Hingans and Rabanastrans

>The burn is actually where Azys Lla comes from and the newly discovered Gamma Weapon facility is capable of another force field like Ayzs La

>Zenos is 100% possessed by an Ascian and pushing the empire to war

>Cid is working on a device his father made to call dalamund down that destroyed an entire city in seconds to combat Omega Weapon

>There is some power source connected to the Dawn/Dusk throne that rivals Azys La

and thats as far as i got but i know from the trailer theres more stuff involving Alphinaux and Gaius, Zenos and the eorzean alliance. Almost like having a focussed story gives you more plot than piecemeal offerings for multiple stories that separate your creative teams efforts. Shocking.

>>15468840

Except none of that will matter because we're about to enter peak filler territory. Right before the Expac is announced and the last actual content comes out. Prepare to see another warriors of darkness storyline, remember how much those guys mattered?

>>15468873

I liked the idea of them, like they were the hero's that thought they won and realised too late they actually set up the end of the world and lost becoming desperate villains of circumstance. They should have teased them earlier though.

>>15468873

W-warriors of Darkness (Extreme) any day now surely r-right?

>>15468887

>He doesn't know the rumours that we become warriors of darkness in 5.0

Kill all lalafells

inseminate all lalafells

>>15469126

Lolorito disinfo agent pls go.

I never finished Stormblood;

I should though..

>>15469768

Its back, in pog form.

>>15468725

Gotta agree, this dungeon was nice. I'll say I'm kind of disappointed with the fact that mages can use magic without problem in the Burn. Kinda wish they came up with some mechanics related to that.

>still no angry retard noises edit

Drawfags are truly good for nothing.

The production values of this patch are really fucking low right down to the writing. Holy shit.

>>15470219

I'll actually say the opposite, seems like it finally is starting to get pick up a bit together with the last patch. Have yet to finish all MSQs, but so far I actually have been entertained with what I played so far. The Burn was also pretty stunning visually.

>>15470365

The contents better but to be fair theres some real inconsistent spelling errors in the english translation.

>>15470219

>expecting anything good with a hack leading

>has a cash shop larger than WoWs

>in a sub based game

>paying for subs

>playing mmos

whatd you expect faggot

>>15469620

actual freak

Man the Omega fights have all been really great so far, one more to go, but good lord the translation team has gotten fucking lazy. Theres spelling and grammar errors everywhere in this patch.

Well uh, i dont think the expansion being set up is the empire. I think its actually fucking Zodiark already.

so spoilers for the ending reveal

The new emperor is a puppet, solus never died, he can't, he is an ascian, the empire was not infiltrated by ascians but founded by them. The emperor isn't a sick old man but a foppish manic somewhere between Kuja and the Jeremy Irons looking guy from XV. The fake emperor we met in sea of clouds is the only none ascian in a puppet role for the people and he hates it and is clearly not on there side. Meanwhile something monumentally powerful, probably zodiark is stealing the scions souls one by one, leaving the body braindead in a coma, calling them into a black void saying "only you… only you, break the gate wide open" while alphinuax and gaius have discovered a camp of dead travellers finding out the black rose chemical weapon we thought we destroyed in the 4.0 questing is in mass production and being used. Right now the only scions left are you and Alisae with everyone else in a half dead state with comments that 'blinding light is about to bring the greatest calamity of all'

So a bit more interesting than doma and ala mihgo.

>>15481440

Looks like it. The rumours of the next expansion being 'Shadowbringers' is looking more and more likely.

>>15481708

Next expac for sure

I always try to get into this game but it just feels like I’m playing a single player grindfest until I’m hit by the dungeon wall where I have to wait an hour for people to get in

>>15481954

>playing a MMO without friends

full retard

>>15481954

Don't worry with how little player interaction is in the game (well any mmo on the market right now) You'll feel like you're playing a single player game but with AI controlled NPCs as your party members as you see them wipe to the easiest fucking mechanics

When are they fixing the awful field of view?
