    I still want to see people remake songs from Powerman 5000 in game just to piss them off.

    It helps to inflate your sub count to release the game in even more countries.

    This was a bit before Heavensward:


    And we know they released the game in South America and Russia right around Stormblood.


    Meanwhile this is the traffic on BG in the FFXI section vs FFXIV section of the forums since the release of 2.0:

    Unfortunately, recent interviews have shown that Yoshida only really cares about staying in the profit zone, not so much about increasing profits, and in a game where they release at least $50 worth of cash shop garbage bi-monthly and idiots eat it up like chocolate on top of paying a monthly sub and having to buy every expansion pack at retail prices, that isn't too hard to do.

    BG FFXIV is pretty dead tho, has been for ages.

    They'd better make it fly though. Ground-only mounts have scant little use anymore in this weird world where things immediately start moving faster when they're airborne.

    Ofcourse it would fly, they have no reason to add ground only mounts to the game anymore. Everything beyond 2.0 mounts is going to fly.

    Yeah I'll buy it too. I'm a sucker. Exploiting Carbuncle to get people's money is unfair (and brilliant).

    I was doing Ala Mhigo for DR Expert, and someone had to relog. While waiting at the stairs right before the two Mag Roaders, another person noticed that Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna was off to the side fighting randos.

    Yup they're all there and you can find them all in those little areas off to the side.

    They had opportunity to make them do more. If only they make some dungeons like the WoW ones where NPCs actively participate with you.

    In fact, the Dead Sea/first SB dungeon had Lyse and the others accompany you for the first 2 trash packs.

    It's almost like they tried then somewhere along the line went "fuck it".

    Hell, they even had that whole solo dungeon instance of ARF back in 3.X where you and the Scions went in to rain some hell. Was probably the most scripting I've seen them done for dungeon NPCs short of a couple recent MSQ instances.

    SE is probably too proud to just throw them generic "Do damage/spells/heals" AI for select portions of dungeons and call it a day.

    My bet is this shit is designed on a case by case basis and there's no one size fits all AI. Remember you also had the MSQ where you're fighting on top of the spot where Omega lies in the Carteneau Flats (First Frontline Map) and you got a few friends helping you fight off some imperials.

    NO. because that will invariably end up as "dungeons where the NPCs run ahead and then back to the start and repeat several dozen times unless you kill the mobs in precisely the order they appear except you have to switch the fourth and fifth mob packs after the second boss"


    I kid, I kid... but not really.

    It's definitely this, and the devs hinted/said as much when people freaked out over the Carteneau NPCs "dodging" AOEs. The NPCs didn't actually dodge/react to the AOEs, they just moved out at a predetermined points which were sync'd up with the boss AOEs timers.

    All they really need to do is take some of the work they applied for the Squadron stuff and just apply them to self-driven combat NPCs. Have them generally follow the group helping/doing their own thing until all the players exit their designated area to assist in. </backseatdeveloper>
