Anybody playing Political Ideology Catgirl sim (FF14)
I love this game. It has completely enthralled me. Since starting a couple years ago I have probably thousands of hours sunk into this 8-person DDR MMO. The story is one of the best of any FF game, too. I just started getting into Endwalker EX fights & Savage raiding and it’s a blast. Let’s get a polycule cadre going or something!
High-end raiding is literally memorizing the “chart” and executing, times 8, and repeatedly going at it until you get it. Some people (myself included) really like this style of gameplay; the most apt comparison is to a rhythm game imo.
Oh absolutely I'm not saying that you're wrong. It's just very funny.
You could do a minigame where the cooldowns scroll down the screen and come off cooldown the moment they reach your skill bar and it would literally be ddr.
Oh I literally just started it a few weeks ago. I'm almost at level 50!
I finally got over my social anxiety to do random duty roulettes. It probably didn't help I play tank, but it went well as you would expect. Hopefully I can keep that up in the future because I think it would be helpful to fighting the anxiety in general.
Tank anxiety is very real, especially for bosses imo. But after a while you learn what you can and can’t get away with, and whenever I tank an instance, bungle it and die or something I just laugh it off. Most people are understanding; it’s far more likely in this game than others of its kind. How exciting, you’ve got a whole epic ahead of you and it gets better and better.
edit to say my offer for companionship to help you through content or pester you about your storythoughts is open to you, as well, lol.
I'll be sure to let you know if I have any story thoughts I need to yell at someone :p I honestly wasn't paying much attention to the plot until recently
level 30~ i think msq quest spoiler
when a lot of the scions died and they had me move their corpses. i was not expecting that.
im also probably going to make a post here when i want to join an FC or something cos it'd be nice if there are any comrades who i could play with, but since i have no intention to pay for the game until i have to that wont be for a whileee
Heyyy I've been playing! Currently still trying to catch up to current content, almost done with Stormblood. I enjoyed Heavensward a lot but Stormblood is kind of dragging for me. Eager to get to Shadowbringers soon, I've heard its by far the best expansion
Yes! Narratively, Heavensward was incredible and Stormblood is pretty much a wet fart in comparison but sets up everything afterward so it’s a necessary slog. The patch content features one of my favorite bosses, though. Shadowbringers is without a doubt the best the game has ever been in more ways than one. Let me know if you’d like a friend to eagerly :3c as you progress, or to help with content, and I’m there.
I learned that I lean like one of the fem highlander idle poses and it's made me happy ever since. I can be sufficiently sassy and strong as shit in my dragoon gear and it makes me feel COOL.
Unfortunately I'm stuck on one of the post-EW MSQ trials thanks to social/performance anxiety . I'm starting to think world of warcraft pve "community" has done untold amounts of mental damage on me lol
triggered my graphics card firmware bug unfortunately or i would have played through it with my friends a few years ago when they got really into it. seemed very fun though.
4k hours checking in. Been trying to get a UWU clear with a static but the landslides have been rough. Also somehow Eureka hasn't been annoying me as much so I'm finishing a couple more weapons.
And let me tell you, the DDR comparison is apt, specially when doing ultimates. You can easily count your gcds between mechanics and plan your cooldowns around it.
I am for better or worse married to PF and I dread when the time comes for ultimates. I like being able to prog on my own incredibly manic or anemic schedules; herding cats is a skill on its own.
I love this game but haven't played in a while, I would love to join a lemmy linkshell or something because my old group is deeeeeeaaaaaad and has been for a while
I sometimes have a group that I play with who do raiding/rp pretty regularly but I am off and on with them depending on what they’re doing at any moment. I am on Aether data centers as I mentioned in another comment; if you ever have interest in playing again you are more than welcome to put some of my telephone orbs in your ear holes.
