FFXIV isn't available for Xbox, so no?
Also Black Desert is pretty much as unlike FFXIV as two games in the same genre of MMO can possibly be.

Doesn't BDO have root kit installed? All steam reviews are talking about it

Well what I mean is that Xbox now has a mmo on console and PC like FFXIV. I'm interested in seeing if it will get as much support.

Isn't sea of thieves an mmo too? Also ESO?
ESO, Star Trek Online are both on Xbox One already although I think they both segregate servers from PC and Console. TERA was announced for consoles in 2017, too, I think?
But I think XIV will remain the only mandatory sub MMO; it's by nature a different beast. The other ones have either gone B2P already or in the case of BDO started there, and I don't think any were designed to be an MMO for non-MMO-players to the extent XIV was.
It only really gets interesting if someone convinces Blizzard to drop WoW on consoles, which seems super unlikely.

Yeah, I feel the same way right now. BD has better character models though by a mileeee
I don't know if it is. I should have clarified I meant Japanese/Korean mmo though.
If you're on 3.x, you are basically knocking on the door of SB. You can do each patch in 2-3 hours.
I always chuckle when I see "Shiva's Goat". Also saw someone with a "Loading Please Wait" as their name.
XIV can do nice character models! I blame PS3.
Wonder if "Viewing Cutscene" is still around.

I miss Raubahn's Arm
Lodestone lists 165 (including variations)
Unsurprisingly, there's an actual 'Viewing Cutscene' on every server.
I might actually try out tanking when SB comes out. I always wanted to play Dark Knight but didn't feel like leveling the other tank jobs to get the cross class skills necessary for tanking. But since they all get the cross class skills automatically now I think I'll try Dark Knight out.
He needs a cool Magitek arm.
I'm still undecided if I should just go through the whole story as a BLM or do the RDM PotD fun first.
On one hand, I know BLM like the back of my hand (in a non serious raid setting), have it at 60, and RDM rotations will probably take some getting used to.
On the other, I definitely want to main a RDM. I guess I could just level it up later, since weapon aside, it can use the same equipment as my BLM.

Do you guys think it might still be worth to do the daily hunts this week? Until the Maintenance on Thursday that is.
And a question for you Scholars out there, my GF wants to try scholar, she never healed before, and we play on the controller.
Do you think it's too hard to pull off? How much micro management does the fairy need?

rdm probably doesn't want spellspeed though
She'll be fine. SCH is the easiest healer at entry level (and healers aren't difficult to play anyway). She won't have to worry too much about micro-managing the fairy while leveling. It's ideal to do so but that's advanced play, not basic play.
I know plenty of people who are great at playing SCH with a controller. She should give it a try if she's interested in it, it's fun to play.
It'll probably be an hour's worth of fetch quests in SB.
Every major numbered patch in 2.x has a new trial. 2.4's is one of the Best.
Ok cool then I will speed through everything. I just hate the filler missions ala "get tea leaves fromt here and then teleport to there and there!" which just take time for nothing. ;_;
But I finally got used to playing on the PS4 after playing on PC and noticing that I don't get EXP for playing on PC without Heavensward. This will at least help with leveling.

Of course it is. If this eye patch is to be removed, a great catastrophy would befall the world:

AST globes still hang five meters away from your body.
Even after 2.0, the quest design in 2.x was frustrating because they wanted to have a huge quantity of them more than anything else. Most of the patches didn't justify having so many quests for the story they would be telling. They fixed this problem in HW and 3.x. It's much tighter, and you always feel like you're moving forward and doing something interesting instead of just wasting time.
And when I say HW, I mostly mean 2.4 onwards, because that's really when HW starts.

Yesterday I made the mistake of deciding to pick up my PLD cap and do some tanking on A11 so I could finish gearing out my PLD.
Did 10+ runs with two groups: All failures. God damn, when A11 was new I had never been with groups this bad/unwilling to listen. I MT'd the entire time and did my best to throw out helpful advice but each time it was a different thing that caused the failure: healers getting stressed out when the lasers start flying in the later phases or the dps failing the dps check when destroying the balls.
This ended up reinforcing my belief that I don't trust anyone else to heal except myself.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I hit 59 last night, and I had only just started on level 58 MSQ so I should be in pretty good shape to hit 60 without much supplemental XP needed.
I figure I'll hit 60 tomorrow or Wednesday, so the problem of needing to gear up for 3.x MSQ's might end up irrelevant if the expansion patch includes new gear rewards for those quests.

Welp, I will slug through, but I think that is a big kickers for people that would like to comeback. I really really had to read through some stuff and try to get into it again. I don't know how other release players that stopped back then would feel like. Game is still fun though, but I just wanna experience the cool stuff which was I loved the 2.0.

It's so cute that they're sweating and having such an effort to clear Titan EX in Stormblood.
In my headcannon they're minimum iLevel.

Yeah, 70% of your casts are instant and you have no DoTs, SS will be awful unless something changes
What I want to know is how strong RDM's autos are to see if det will be any good

I think hunts are always worth it, especially now.
I've been spamming ARR and HW hunts to get Allied and Centurio Seals and spending them on Aetheryte Tickets. Figure it will make all the porting around I'll no doubt be doing in SB a no-cost affair.
From what people have been reporting from the media tour, RDM auto-attacks are terrible (they do like 120-150 damage at level 70), scale on STR, and any auto will remove the Dualcast buff. You'll never want to auto on RDM.

Crit - Dhit it is then!
I'm relieved though, staying in melee range with RDM sounded awkward as shit

The melee section of the RDM rotation seems pretty straight forward, and relatively brief. Get both mana gauges to 80+, leap in, execute 3 melee skill combo (followed by verflare or verholy) and then leap back out.

So I was in the theme section of my PS4 and noticed the Stormblood theme finally is listed and... it has a unlock timer on it. This is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone lock down a pre-order theme behind a timer.

Oh I see I was under the impression that it healed in an aoe regardless of stacks on other targets, so basically stack 3times on tank or offtank, then free cure 3 when using it on them. I guess it's more like a free Lustrate kinda, which is pretty bad especially if it's on GCD lock.
I'd still wait to see the final version of skills, but yeah doesn't look pretty for WHMs, especially with how ridiculous the AST delayed bomb aoe heal thing is and how stupid strong the card system was buffed over time+new minor cards.
As someone who only really used SCH and AST anyway I guess I don't care too much. My WHM is still 52 or whatever, was the one healer I hadn't bothered leveling before I took a break.
