"Sena and Kate are the beating heart of dawntrail"

Oh so that's why it sucks.

As for the person saying it, surprise surprise, it's yet another "guys I'm totally latino" from a fucking coastal bughive whose only connection to latin america is using his identity as a cudgel, aka a second generation faggot.

Smells like Kate has been doing a lot of nepo hiring to me.

We don't claim this guy. He can stay in his weirdo corner away from the rest of us.

Kool Aid drinking piece of shit.

Mario wearing a sombrero and poncho was more respectful of the culture than the generic cultural pastiche of very vauge aspects of mesoamerican/south american civilization.
It all ends up being some faggy uwu multicultural utopia thats just a reskin of the other nations after a big dick murder lizard waved his sword around among other things

Absolutely loving the new raid fights. I think my favourite is R2.

R1 had my favourite moment with everyone falling through the floor the first time the ground disappears. The entire party bar the tank just walked of the platform into the abyss. Got a ton of laughter in party chat.

New music for each fight is more than welcome, rather than different styles or instrumental layers as Pandemonium had.

They're just really fun fights. R4S is going to be a fucking nightmare.

And unlike a ton of the DT story, I'm actually engaged.
 
I was going to do a big old effortpost about how much worse Black Mage feels, especially at low level content.
I mean, it's always felt like dogshit at low-level content. EW mostly fixed the issue of "so for this level range, you just use freeze, for this one, you just use F2, for this one you do B2->Freeze->F2 but you make sure you have enough for B2" and it was workable-enough, beyond that under-60 single-target was a shit-tastic RNG fiesta.

The US change had to be brought in because their fucking around with how the class's regen became tied to B4 (l. 58). Which is to say, they had something that was clunky but worked, and they broke it to make it "easier."

As to how it plays overall, there's a reason people who actually play BLM aren't happy. The core rotation really hasn't changed much and is actually somewhat-improved by guaranteed instant F3s, but the core rotation is also boring and easy. You get punished pretty hard for ever deviating from the extremely rigid 6x F4/cycle requirement, so you now need to autistically memorize the exact positioning for every single encounter rather than having the option of transpose lines for much-improved mobility. And all so that lots of classes with greater utility, picto among them, can do more damage than you.

Why are you getting mad at a typo? So he missed a letter in 'latrine,' it's not a huge deal

I'm not going to begrudge her for doing that (aside from the fact that it seems to becoming increasingly clear she's a dangerhair and not just a quirky wanna-be MPG) -- connections and who you know are how you get a leg up practically anywhere.

What's more worrying for me is her attitude towards criticism. She wouldn't have a job if XIV's devs didn't listen to feedback from the players, but she seems to be cut from the 'NONONO You're WRONG and a CHUD' cloth, based on that interview quote.

I think she was expecting universal praise and this has probably been a bit of a shock to her. Not easy to localize a well-loved, well-written story, is it? (Of course that assumes there exists a well-written story in the first place, but I digress.)

Go do frontlines. DRK is broken there.
If you play a lot of FL, DRK is overrated. However, because most people just hop in for the XP, DRKs run circles around people who never read their kit. SAM is the real menace, IMO.

Cleared EX1, progging EX2, loving these fights so far. Switched to WAR and it's such a better time than DRK, the new 100 ability looks so sick.

For any other DoL freaks here, Revisit might be the greatest addition to DT. Proccing that on a legendary node with integrity buff is euphoric. 38M Gil in melds later, of course...

Also, WWE Glams for the new raid series? Fuck yeah. Looking forward to trying those out later.

SAM is fine if you don't attack a lone one that dives a group of players and look at their buffs. But yeah, your average FL player has the intelligence of a houseplant, which makes them easy pickings to the DRK burst combo.

Yeah I'm hoping for a potency buff by the time the savages roll around because BLM is really only known for damage and if it's getting mogged by PCT who can also do raid buffs than it's rough out there.

I am when it's a dangerhair giving positions to others like her, this is how they start poisoning the well and before you know it the english localization will be filled with utter horseshit, cherry picked feedback will be given to developers and you will have quite a situation in your hands.

The English VO industry is already incetuous enough, letting this cunt filter who and who doesn't get positions for voiceovers will only get you more troon lamats and 'latrines'.

Well written or not (DT's story being a mess is 100% on JP) the localization job was dogshit, everyone speaks like they're west coast faggots except they sometimes have cartoonish accents, even swapping voices to JP does not let you escape most of it since the text itself is written in such a way that all character's dialogue reads as if the game takes place in planet earth: 2024 instead of a high fantasy world.
 
Cleared EX2, that took a while. Had a 8~% enrage which was a touch annoying but it was a blind party finder run.

After a few more relatively bungled attempts due to the whirlwind jump right, finally pushed through for the kill.

Gonna chill a little then start some EX1 attempts.

Yeah, that's why I said the issue is not with people networking, but with the fact that it's a dangerhair is the one that's doing it.

And I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. There were a significant number of issues with DT's story (and I assume localization), I just think that Kate thinks she did a stellar job and was expecting to be lavished with praise.

She polished that turd up to the glossy state of matte brown.

Of course she thinks she did a stellar job, she was involved in the localization and she's in big important position, she's a girlboss who can do no wrong, twitter said so!

I reckon she merely puked on the turd and called it a day.
