I hear it's way easier than ex4 and more in line with the easier extremes. I hear the dps check is extremely lenient and also for part of the fight you can just follow the dorito.
Love it! This patch did feel much shorter than normal.

The DPS check in P4 is really tight and outdoes DSR so getting to P5 even takes a long time, lol.
Omega discovering Dynamis is quite interesting though

Man this is the best content the dev team has put out in a long time. Entertaining to say the least.

Wow this is crazy. It's a shame that this happened in the past and now with TOP. I feel bad for Yoshi P. I feel like their team needs to be banned and it's time for Yoshi P to implement the anti-cheat. People just can't be trusted as they have proven time and time again.

TL;DR: Daddy Yoshida is disappointed, discourages use of addons yet again, and all offenders will receive bans

Dad sounds livid, too.

"The ultimate raid series is the most difficult battle content within FFXIV, and we release this content after testing that it can be cleared without the use of any third-party tools. However, if the presumption is that this content will be tackled and cleared with the use of third-party tools, then any reason to develop high-difficulty battle content seems to be lost. It’s very difficult for me to understand as a gamer what the meaning behind using numerous third-party tools to compete to clear first would be."

Correct and their achievement, title, and loot/weapon will be deleted. One of their participants was also outed and given a lesser penalty since they were found to not be cheating but still benefitted in some capacity so will lose the rewards but will only be given a warning and not a ban.
A few players also deleted their account/characters because it is illegal to cheat in Japan and if I've read correctly could lead up to 5 years prison time or a 65k fine.
Alongside the veiled threat of potentially not developing more Ultimate fights if the implication that everyone doing them will just cheat to win.

Just resubbed because I have unfinished business with P8S. I had nearly talked myself out of even trying but I’m going to transcend my limits AHHHHHHHH. Watching everyone doing the omega protocol motivated me.
Edit: or at least I’ll give it a try if I can get a full party together in party finder… been trying to get a fresh prog group together for 2 hours now...

...Where's the MMO appeal? 90% of the sense of accomplishment is the grind...Next relic step is 1500 tomes again...

Works for me. I normally hate the pointlessly long grind for relic weapons. I wouldn't mind as much if there was some fun gameplay attached to it, but Bozja and Eureka both kinda sucked ass. Less we speak on ARR and HW relics, the better.

Ask me about my terrible takes on Star Trek characters
Today is the 1 year annivesary of me beating Endwalker. I played through every expansion directly. Started in August 2021. Overall, FFXIV is now my favorite game in the series. It's not flawless, but I had more fun playing through the game. I didn't know I could still enjoy this series. Here are my thoughts on each expansion
ARR: A bit of a slow burn. I thought it was mid at first. A lot of people hate on the content between ARR and Heavensward, but to be honest, that is when I started getting hooked. In retrospect, there is a lot of great stuff in ARR. Great foundation laying. Cool progression. The only weak part is the Titan saga. A lot of nice dungeons and what not too. I think at the time, I was just skeptical still, and that kind of effected my opinion of it. Loved the Bahamut and Crystal Tower arcs.
Heavensward: Fantastic. Wonderful story. Loved the journey with Estinian and Ysayle. Cool regions to explore. Unlocked my main class, Machinist and have had a blast ever since. Man, is Ishgard incredible... My only complaint is that the Alexander raid is kind of boring... but has a neat twist at the end.
Stormblood: Some of the most beautiful regions in the game. The story is interesting enough for me, though I think having Doma and Ala Mhigo together kind of makes the pacing weird. I love Kugane, but I wish it wasn't just a stepping stone to the rest of the Far East. Hopefully you get to see more of HIngashi in later expansions. Omega is the best raid content in the franchise, and plus we get the pretty dope Ivalice raids. Stormblood gets hate from a lot, but I loved it.
Shadowbringers: Fantastic. Emet-Selch is a treasure. Get to have some fun with the Scions too. And the Crystarium is the best hub city in the game. If I complaint, its that the regions are basically recycled ARR areas... but that's the point of them, isn't it? It's like that for a reason. Probably the best expansion overall.
Endwalker: High highs and low lows. The problem with this title being the climax is that by all means it should be pretty much a race to the finish,b ut they couldn't do that due to being an expansion for an MMO. It's great up until the Level 84 trial, then it slows down for a bit when instead it should have been ramping up. If they had tightened it up a bit, shortening the later labrynthos and loporrit sections, this would have been the best game. I also think they should have made the Role Quests a mandatory part of the story instead of optional content. As for the post-game patch stuff - Pandaemonium kind of sucks, but I've been enjoying the MSQ. I like the Alliance Raid content too.

Any of you planning to raid in 6.4?
Endwalker was my first expansion to get into raiding and so far I've done all the EX fights, P1S, P2S, P5S, P6S, P7S, and I was burned out for a while but now I'm thinking maybe this could be the first tier that I clear all 4 fights. I'm a PF raider though so I may get burned out again but I may jump back into raiding and give it a go.

Do yourself a favor, find a dedicated Static. It will make your life a lot better, makes the fights more enjoyable, and you don't have to grind 1/3'd as long as you do trying to complete it in PF.

I haven't played since the middle of the Shadowbringers patches, but ARR was always the peak of the game for me. I loved the challenge of mastering Coil 1 and 2... also the original Extremes. I was never into the story. I was always in it for the hard fights.

I stopped playing this after completing the main storyline of Endwalker (l loved it)
How do the patches compares to the campaign? Is it good? How do current players pass time in Eorzea nowadays?

Surprised that there isn't even a slight hint about 7.0 in MSQ. Figured we would at least be given some sort of direction but we're basically in the same situation as the end of 6.3. Guess we'll have to wait for that Fanfest trailer after all.
Edit: I forgot about Krile's envelope. That's probably the 7.0 hint, but it's incredibly subtle unless someone manages to identify the design on it.
Raid story was good, nice to see the ARR McGuffin back in the story at long last. But man, the fights just don't have any challenge on Normal anymore. Our DF healers died halfway through P9 and we just soldiered on without a problem. Really wish this game still had some middle-ground for challenge, but difficulty in FFXIV these days is basically either Easy or Hard.
That said, I am looking forward to lvl 80 Blue Mage in 2 months. Masked Carnivale is fun, and I might go for the Savage mount again. Right now it's theorized to be the Shadow Wolf from Shadowbringers, but I'm hoping that's not true because that's a downgrade from the iconic Morbol.

I'm really enjoying the current post-MSQ story arc. I say it's worth diving in for.
Current ways to pass the time outside of that include the EX trials, savage raiding, collecting mounts & minions, doing the new relic weapon quests, the storylines of the alliance raid series and the normal raid series are both equally as interesting as the MSQ imho, also there are other interesting sidequests added that involve certain returning groups of characters, etc...
The game is in a great state and there's plenty to do if you want to jump back in.
