the price of the club is already at max AH gil, so it's not like this post can drive the price up even further

The market finds a way. If demand exceeds value at that price, there'll be none on AH and you'll see people occasionally shout to buy it. End up bartering for 999m and some items in the same trade!

Hey everyone,

I know, another person looking for an active group for things.

So I've been playing this game for a very long time now (half of my life actually). Most (if not all) of my friends I've made and played with over the years have either left the game or branched off into other things and I'm happy for them. But that leaves me playing a game that I enjoy still to this day, but 99% solo. And I'm tired of that part of it.

So I'm looking for a group that's active and such. Things like Dyna-D, Sortie, Odyssey, Omen, etc. So if there is any of them out there or on here that reads these I'd appreciate an invite.

And before anyone says just merc it, I shouldn't have to merc things if I can play with other people.

What time zone?

Most of the ppl I know 6 box [Play solo] I still do omen/Dynamis-D even I don't need items from it... I just collect PREMA like infinity stones... grind sortie until servers goes down!

I mean you can tag along if you like.

Games that are so successful that they are still relevant 30 years later is a fact - which does not require your opinion.

So current generation of young player are buying millions of copies of FFT or VP or what?

Your opinion on those games being "relevant" today is just your opinion as an old school player, not fact.

And I think it's dishonest to disguise opinions as fact too.

lol... We are getting remakes of games created 30 years ago because they are irrelevant and companies like to lose money. Got it. These games are so irrelevant that we are currently discussing games in a Fortnite forum, not FFXI.

I guess you are just stupid, not dishonest - maybe both.

AI/ML is just advanced pattern recognition. Sometimes its amazing, sometimes is crap. It can't think, in fact a lot of the models are so non-deterministic slightly modifying your input syntax (whitespace/punctuation/using a similar noun/verb/adj.) can completely alter the answer from total crap to mildly useful.

Asking them coding questions you're almost certain to find 90% of the answer somewhere on stack overflow, amalgamated with 10% of some other thread.

Any "emotion" or "thinking" attributed to these models is simply them regurgitating portions of input data. Be it from <insert favorite book about philosophy/science/textbook/novel/poetry etc..> its just spitting out patterns found there.

Sure, but my point was going out of your way to find something to argue about just to pass the time or get a response. I wasn't excluding myself either.

FF 7-9 all suffered from terribly slow paced and shallow combat and I wouldn't touch this kind of combat system in 2025. They were awesome in the 90s because of technical accomplishment, that's about it.

Valkyrie profile has serious balance issues and honestly I had way more fun with Valkyrie profile 2 and VP Covenant of the Plume. Both has improved gameplay compare with VP1.

As for FFT, I beat it years ago and immediately forgot everything about it. Wouldn't even put it on my top 10 FF title.

We don't need your opinion about these games. They survived the test of time.

I've got a backlog of games that I know I want to play and have purchased to support the devs that made them. If you truly have nothing you want to play released recently, I'm surprised.

Yeah, that's why I post my opinion and you post yours. There are zero games that I want to play after Shadow of the Erdtree. I'm looking forward to Nightreign and that's it.

I'm pretty sure absolutely nobody is surprised by your opinion. For someone who has been asking Nynja for proof that you don't make comments outside of technical game design you sure turned yourself in in this one.

What do you mean exactly? This is a biological statement, not political statement. You are the one who viewed every statement that I made political.

I never say I don't make comments outside of game design, I only said I don't have a preference on male/female/typeA/B because they don't affect gameplay. How the hell did you read that as dishonest lol.

Their DNA would still favor one of the sexes

Before humanity even know what DNA is, they always assign sex at birth by genital. Even though it's 2025 now it's still the most common way to assign sex at birth.

Calling me dishonest for bringing up genital as criteria to determine sex at birth instead of dna is kinda silly.

Also, go google XX male syndrome. There are plenty of cases that we see DNA don't match their genital or exterior appearance. Which makes DNA a very controversial way to determine sex anyways.

Calling you dishonest because you are either dishonest or very stupid. But I'm inclined to say just dishonest. People being born with two genitalia is around 0.05% and it's a biological disorder.

Before DNA, the sex would still be assigned, but based on what people thought which gender the newborn was more inclined to, gender wise. Nobody back in the day was calling people body type A or B.

But arguing with you is a waste of time because you yourself don't believe what you are saying. You are just dishonest about your own opinion - which is sad.

I recently started watching Demon Slayer. I'm enjoying the show, but I had a very humorous thought that I cannot stop thinking about. Everytime they do one of their moves like

"Water Breathing. First Form. Surface Slash"

The only thing I can think of is the people who put chat lines in their WS macros.

"Glowing moon guide me! Tachi:Gekko!"

Factually false. 30 years ago I actually had a problem with how many amazing games would come out every year while not having the money to play all of them. Today I have the money, and even the time, but where are the good games? Where are the FF tactics? 7-8-9, Metal Gears, NFS, Valkyrie Profile, Lunar etc?

I've got a backlog of games that I know I want to play and have purchased to support the devs that made them. If you truly have nothing you want to play released recently, I'm surprised.

I'm kind of excited for Clair Obscure Expedition 33, but I'm going to wait to see some reviews before I jump onboard


The review is out, seems pretty positive so far. That being said, I really dislike QTE in a turn based battle, so it's probably not going to get on my to-play list unless something else from that game got my attention.
Not my favorite either, but I can forgive a lot if the story is well written and compelling. Final Fantasy 16 combat is not the best ever but the story, characters, and world building more than more than makes up for it.

I bought it even though I'm terrible at parrying, it's pretty good so far. Some gripes, but can definitely tell the passion that went into creating it.

One of the problems in the west in modern times we have created lots of ways that make lots of money, that are not linked to intelligence. Sports, acting etc, and these people want to put their moronic kids into highly respected universities. This linked with colleges being for profit organizations, means they have a financial incentive to get these people with highly unimpressive kids to put them into their universities.

Lots of students in the top universities are utter morons right now, and since many of these kids are really never going to get much educational value from being there it has turned more into value of social networking (aka, potentially making friends who may be the next zuck)

Even though rich parents can give their kids an advantage, they are still locked to their genetics though. They are still gonna be tards, tards with impressive degrees on the wall (that the teachers are pressured to pass out, so they don't get called racist or sexist for having differing pass rates).

That won't be the case much longer though, we are not far off from genetic manipulation of human embryos to boost intelligence and many other things. So the rich will have designer babies in secret, maybe the mega rich already are! Even if we decide not to do this on ethics grounds, all it will take is one country going all in on it (for example China) and creating vastly superior babies and every other nation will be forced to also do it or fall far behind.

30 years ago we definitely had more good games than bad, but we absolutely were still swimming in terrible games as well. I mean, Angry Video Game Nerd has made an entire career out of showcasing the worst of the worst.

Bad games can be easily ignored when you have so many good options you don't even have enough time to play them.

I'm kind of excited for Clair Obscure Expedition 33, but I'm going to wait to see some reviews before I jump onboard. It looks promising, but so have lots of other games that turned out to be trash.

Speaking of Lunar, I saw they released a remastered version of it, but the reviews so far are not good.

Games used to be defined by their tech, and every new game generation pushed the system requirements envelope further and further.

That gave us advancements in computer graphics used beyond just games.

Now days system requirements are mostly driven up by OS and game API minimum requirements, those in place to push sales of overpriced and unnecessary hardware.

The game engines from the 90s are still in use today..

There will need to be another id Software or Epic or Valve to push games further now.

I'm convinced some of the people here could find something to argue about in literally anything.

I also am convinced that the percentage of "games that suck" is not significantly larger than it was 30 years ago. They are better funded, more accessible, and judged more harshly, not because good games are impossible to make, but because we've already seen so many outstanding ones.

No one wants to talk much about the successes because they aren't usually as controversial.

How many truly good movies are released each year? Books written? Probably single digits for both. Why would video games be any different?

You start by pretending to be a voice of reason (I don't argue much) then proceed to argue just like everybody else.

If you're both with both genitals then you generally either have testes or ovaries as far as I know too. One is more dominant than the other do you're more like 70/30 or 60/40 than 50/50

While this is true it isn't the full picture because people born into money succeed over more intelligent people which aren't. I've seen this at play heavily at the university I teach at now where they're mostly from very wealthy backgrounds. Relatives will get them internships and/or they can afford to do one unpaid because mummy and daddy will fund them, or they're already from London or have a relative they can stay with in London to do their placements there. I've heard of students paying £200+ in train fares and hotels just to go to interviews that they're not certain to get. They can afford to gamble their money where students that can't afford to have had to pull out of interviews that were in person with no reimbursement. Money is more important than intelligence mostly.

If .01% of the population is trans, but 10% of game devs are you're getting more pronoun stuff in games. The game dev industry is not representative of the population of customers at all, they have intentionally hired people from small groups due to DEI and forced hiring policies. They are also more likely to be setup and hire from progressive areas.

This is why western games are the way they are, and why they will keep doing it even if almost none of the customers want it.

In past times, the people in charge were more comfortable saying no to stuff. Now they are less comfortable doing that, cause social media has allowed them to be fired for it.

Personally I don't care about body type stuff or even trans characters in game (as long as they are done well), I prefer to fixate on things that actually matter. Like having attractive female characters, good writing, good world building and tiddies.

This is objectively false regardless of your political stance lol. Some intersex people has both male and female genitals when they were born. Which means they are biologically neither male or female.

They may pick one gender role when they grow up, and identify with that in the society. But gender role and sex are 2 different things, and that is not a modern concept either. There are plenty of historical record about intersex people since the ancient time.

I'm pretty sure absolutely nobody is surprised by your opinion. For someone who has been asking Nynja for proof that you don't make comments outside of technical game design you sure turned yourself in in this one.

That's why I don't take you serious. Cause you are dishonest - always arguing in bad face. Having both genitals doesn't make them have both gender. Their DNA would still favor one of the sexes. But you already knew this. You are just a flying poopy joke.

There's only so much stuff you can sell in the world and only do much you can make, etc. People will lose jobs at entry level first which will have knock on effects. Talent pipelines will dry up, pushing for more use of AI to fill the gaps.
