Holy shit I love the Rak'tika theme. That bassline speaks to my soul.

Isn't that exactly what they said about Heavensward for so long?

Just did Titania (blind) for the first time in this last hour before server down. Is there an agreed upon general strategy to handle the tethers? And for chain does everyone do dps south and tank/heal north?

Really want to get to SB, and finally ShB, yet also feel compelled to complete blue sidequests like Hildi, probably Void Ark and whatever else I encounter

While I like seeing that motherfucker again and the details of the area, literal gates/windows to other worlds/areas, I feel that fight is pretty slow compared to how hype the rest of the dungeon was. I was also expecting a time freeze and the like

>I don’t want to waste MSQ experience on a tank
tanks have the worst queue times currently. you'd be worse off going as a healer

MSQ experience is not that much. Its basically just two sidequests worth.

Just run trust dungeons if you're having trouble finding queues, they only take like 10 more minutes than running with most players in DF.

wiped from server.

I don't even care about WOW, but Stormblood's story was pretty fucking shite and overall is currently the worst XIV expansion , there is no denying it.

Leave those blue quests for 80. You will need something to do while waiting in queues.

No

Scholar is fine but Art of War should have an DOT effect built into it

Ishgard is alright, it didn't get attacked or gassed. I guess the reconstruction in 5.1 is just really delayed work to be done from the Dragonsong war. No wonder why they are asking us to do it, Ishgard reconstruction companies must be corrupt as fuck.

the sheathe is actually pretty cool. as a Garlean, he cannot manipulate aether. So, to get around that, his sheathe is imbuing the blades with Aether, so he can use abilities that he has no right to be using.

That, or make Art of War spread Bio and have increased damage on targets suffering from Bio (similar to SMN's attacks)

While this is true for the most part, I got ~20 minutes queue for both Innocence and You Know Who

3 hours I think.

FUCK sakes lads just unlocked the 80 dungeon and FUCKING MAINTENANCE. Now i have to avoid spoilers for 3 GODSDAMMED hours.

I had tears in my eyes because it was just that good. The reason we went was so "off" and it felt so forced but god damn I sure am glad I stayed for the ride.
And then I realized what the next expansion will be about and I promptly lost all excitement for the future.
Pack it up, we'll never have something this nice ever again.

Can WAR actually solo eat both Fae Light?
I notice if you Rampart + Vengeance + Raw you can survive the first hit solo and then Holm the last 2 hits?

3 hours

Just BARELY finished watching all the cutscenes before maintenance.
What a fucking strong ending. Was everything from the last dungeon onward, dare I say it, kino?

Really? Is that explained somewhere because I can't remember anything about that.

Getting to the actual Light infused parts of Gulg reminded me a lot of Nier Automata with how the white blocks looked.

People get numbered 0-5 (with 0 being the circle) Everyone behind the boss, while the marked players go in order to max melee range at the left or right of the boss, whatever the party agreed upon beforehand. After getting hit, the player goes back behind the boss. Should be it, you have plenty of time.

Solus' handwave emote WHEN?

I choose the other option because the challenge one sounded pretty lame.

feels like the SHB boss fight music was written just for the dungeon boss specifically. It works in other scenarios but god damn. Platform crumbling, fire raining down on the earth, the piano kicking in during the mechanics. Topped only by the hades fight

Not the guy you replied to, but they talked about it during a live letter before stormblood. Don't know which, though.

.
Strap in, the whole story is full of feels.

When do reviews start coming out for this?

People are extremely frustrated with the new zones and daily content. They released it in its current state. They have playertesters for this shit. They have FREE player testers on the PTR. Then they push another 6-month sub campaign with a shitty "free" mount.

Why would you do collect/kill quests if getting the objectives is completely RNG based, leaning towards chances working against you. Difficulty or not, people just wanna get their daily crap done in a timely manner, not spend 10-30 minutes on a quest because somehow they thought collect 10 starfish was a good idea with unpredictable, unsharables spawns.

Is it just me or does Nascent Flash make WAR really fun I actually made a mouse over macro for it. You get to use it so often, you can really save people if you pay attention.

go in to settings to make crossbar persist\always on

It's well known Blizz devs/designers play FFXIV, the same way YoshiP and some of his designers play WoW.

Occasionally.

I'm still trying to find that song and I can't unless it's on the cinematic trailer but then there's people talking on top of it.

What's the verdict on DRG?

Is it fun like it was back in HW before they butched it in SB?

That sucks.

Thinking of resubbing for Shadowbringers (still haven't completed the Stormblood storyline). I liked red mage in stb, was previously a blm. Are red mages still the retard class? Not saying that maliciously, for I am extremely retarded and need ezmode.

I cant remember exactly where I read it, believe it's in one of the lore books. either way, it's not too much of a stretch to think it can work that way as well. hes using attacks that clearly need aether or magitek, without anything other than the sheathe that stands out as a source

yes. but given what this one is going to 'fix' I doubt it. They're usually pretty good about this.

What I also want to point out is that the launch went off pretty damn smoothly. I had some hiccups Friday afternoon but not a server related thing since then

I haven't finished the expansion yet but does everything feel too bloody quick? It feels like I should at least had an hour to two hours more of characterization in each zone. Only Thancred and Ryne I felt had just the right amount of scenes but even then I wouldn't mind more.

Normally I don't care for asthetics, but the Buns actually look like an OG fantasy race instead of a stretched-out human. I'm playing a female hellsguard/roe for the token value but everytime I see buns in cutscenes or in-person, they make me want not to be a jersey-shore reject. I have my original Fantasia. Should I take the plunge?

They've polished them up a bit but it's still a pretty simple attack pattern.

anyone have the dialouge screencap of exarch reacting to the minion? i forgot to save it and cant remember which thread it was in

The early access code lasts through friday so it doesn't really matter.

I've been trying to remember HW a bit but it's been a while. Need help, I have alzheimer's. What happened to that ice lady in the end? I vaguely remember her dying while flying in shiva form/protecting a ship or something. Help.

So tell me in your opinion: ON IT'S OWN, does Shadowbringers hold up to an outsider?

I have a hunch how things are going to people (wowfugees) who are just now getting into it. They will boost a character, have zero connection to all of the characters, all of the places and stories, all of the emotion and rules laid out over the years since A Real Reborn happened, and they will be amused but not astonished.

This expansion is good by itself, but it's something else if you've played from the start. It explores so many facets of the world we know and pulls at your heartstrings constantly that I feel very bad for the people who walk into it blindly with no connections or weight to what is happening around them.

They won't cause now the only big bad we have has no motivation beyond fighting you for the sake of fighting you

I heal them, so I know better than you

Don't go on Balmung or Mateus. Or Crystal period.

There's no decent RP AND raiding. Balmung and Mateus for RP. You can find raiders there but don't hold your hopes too high.
That's the Crystal Datacenter

Balmung (which is probably locked forever)
Or Mateus for RP (Which you can usually make a character really late or really early at night)
That being said, RP servers are shit for raiding. All of the crystal Data center is trash for raiding

5.0 Spoiler Q : So with Varis dead, does that mean the potential subplot of them going after coma'd Scions is at an end as well? Elidibus will still want to ensure the Black Rose happens at the least.

she did in fact die there

thanks, will give it another go then. I'm not going to be doing savage/ultimate anything. I just like the story and dungeons, so I don't think I'll be holding back anyone. Although I'm sure some autist will complain about have a rdm in the party, maybe. they had a shaky reputation when I quit.

with zenos running the show now, what's the point of them introducing Black Rose? Wouldn't it be super out of character for him to use that? also, were gaius and varis working together all along?

>the Exarch being bad and NOT G'raha Tia
How much did Ethys seethe?

God no. Too much of it is dependent on so much prior stuff. It'd be like picking up the middle of a book series that assumes you know what's going on and being mad that you don't know what's going on.

larpmaster, aethereyecat and the twins had development over many patches already

I'm mad that the final boss didn't play Rise or a remix.

Depends a lot on who grabs control of the Empire. Sure as fuck won't be Zenos because he gives 0 fucks. Also, I see no reason for Zenos to want to defend the sleeping scions. If it was sleeping (You), then sure, but it's not.

We are here for darkness, not sleep.

Spoilers below, and thoughts. Maybe I'm just jaded but I'm let down by it all even though it was better than Stormblood.

Sin eaters were essentially just zombies, every "twist" could be seen from a mile away, Emet-Selch was introduced a patch before the expansion just to be killed off as a throwaway villain we'll forget like that one Ascian from Heavensward (yet we all remember Elidibus and Lahabrea), forced happy ending with no sacrifices (aldbert and minfilia were already fucking dead) and despite it being said we are a fraction of some greater being we can still gary stu over someone complete like Hades and pull feats of superhuman strength out of our ass to do so.

The music was great, zone variety could have been better. Kholusia feels exactly like Amh Araeng on the upper level, which just feels like a scrapped Gyr Abanian zone.

Yes it holds. You will feel lost as fuck but let's be real, anyone who played 5.0 from the beginning will feel it at the end with the whole Emet city/dungeon/trial.

She has been there for years. For all we know she could have already had a kid with him that we don't know about.

Zenos killed the emperor specifically so he wouldn't use blackrose. Blackrose was introduced so we'd have a reason to go to the first, and so Zenos would have a reason to kill the emperor. Gaius was never an enemy of the emperor, only ascians. The emperor also dislikes ascians. Have you even been paying attention?

I kept on thinking about that one cat that keep commissioning art of their WoL and Y'shtola together, they must have been pissed

My theory is that Estinien will be able to hold his own against Zenos long enough to tell him about Black Rose. Since Zenos would consider that thing cowardly he'd put a stop to it himself, as he certainly won't be listening to Elidibus

Black rose plot has been foiled entirely at this point

Yes Zenos is emperor now. Recall that one of the first acts as emperor to avoid a war of sucession was to enforce that his son would be heir.

Why does it sound like a leprechaun man?

We're all anonymous here, you don't have to lie

It's more of the new characters I was hoping for. Maybe even more interactions with Ryne from the other cast. She only really talks to Thancred and sometimes Urianger.

Where's my activation key?

I think it's pretty obvious Zenos doesn't want to rule. He said so himself.

There is no savage currently but ex titania shouldn't be too intensive on healing.

I was going to main Paladin (at lvl 75 now) because I’m a sucker for FFT but I am having so much fun on Gunbreaker I might main that (only 63 tho).

I think part of the reason for the imbalance is because they gutted healers though

I don't get it. Do people actually care about 14's story? What makes people hyped for the DLC? Isn't it just more content for the treadmill?

Took until Skysteel Manufactory/Garland Ironworks/the Garlean refugee in the GNB storyline for any of them to think of central-heating for Ishgard desu

Does she think of his Chocobo-Arse more like a brother?
Also.. I really like how she has grown.

I was on the edge about her until she gave us that talk after Innocence that was really heartwarming and when she comes to you and gives Bismark a stern talking to.

I distinctly got the opposite impression. In additon to his body back he's also retaking the throne.

SHADOWBRINGERS?

MORE LIKE KINOBRINGERS!

You're fucking right. There are very few times where the game has made me feel so pulled-in but that final boss of the dungeon was one of them.

Haven't tried Innocence yet, but as for Titania nah.

The only tank that's slightly shitty so far is DRK imo
>GNB
Tears up the dps meter and its CDs are good as any other tank, aoe is surpisingly strong. Aurora and Brutal Shell are nice passive sustain too I suppose.
>WAR
Nuking monster of a tank with the same play style of SB somewhat, Holmgang with its short CD and being capable of movement make it amazing
Equilibrium is strong as fuck now, it's great.
Nascent flash/glint are interesting utility
>PLD
What's there to be said even? It was near perfect and they just improved upon its SB kit
God Tank with amazing utility/support, CDs, single target and aoe damage
>DRK
Almost on the same level as WAR but just mediocre
Shitty Inner Release clone in the form of Delirium, no crit/dh guarentee
Aoe is decent, but nothing amazing compared to the other tanks
Single targer DPS is strong, but not much better than GNB or WAR
Dark Mind is arguably dog shit compared to even Camoflouge or Thrill of Battle, yeah there's magic tank busters sometimes and suddenly it's amazing, but with the targetable OT defensive CDs and heal shields it's pointless.
Abyssal Drain R.I.P.
t. GNB/WAR/PLD main

The job is extremely one dimensional and is made to work around The Blackest Night so you can get free Edge/Flood of Darkness whenever you need yo extend the buff, but those spells being ogcds and having a Bloodspiller tier potency means you'll be tempted to use them often just to get less bored.
Blood Weapon changes are beyond dogshit and the spells feels borderline useless. Changes to Delirium for the third only to make the spells even less interesting than before (seriously fuck budget Inner Release), same goes for Abyssal Drain.
Finally, Living Shadow is an absolute joke and feels useless and clunky.
I wish we could go back to HW DRK.

Dzemael are essentially the rulers of the construction industry in Ishgard, and they're filled with a lot of douchebags. They do good too though. The Skyfire Locks were built by them as bomb shelters for all the people who used to live outside the walls on farms.

It's you from the original planet. That's why he says "remember" to you. You were a friend and probably part of the same Council as the rest of the ascian.

It has implications that aren't fully explained, one of which being that you are the split soul of an ascian, which is why you're so powerful

should i be stacking SS on GNB? that affects the cd on gnashing fang and sonic break right?

If upu get isekai'd and you become your xiv character would you ever want to return?

I think its gonna come to light that the Warrior of Light is an immortal soul that got split along with the rest of the world. I play as a female character, did Emet call the spirit male or female to you?

user, Ascians aren't Echo users
Echo users were former Ascians, and you were the 14th

It play pretty differently even if it shares mechanics.

Don't know about Innocence since I'm still farming Tit ex for weapon but it's pretty easy, just more damage and some bootlegt O3S vines mechanic.

I think it was shorthand for him seeing you as a "complete" being, equal to the ancient Ascians.

With Varis dead and Zenos having zero interest in ruling, Garlemald would probably fragment into several different armies and factions and the black rose would probably be used by someone at the head of one of those factions. Or whoever claims the throne besides Zenos, assuming it isn't Gaius.

Please post your iq.

That’s what’s killing SMN for me

So many fucking buttons

Give me a DPS class with the least amount of buttons to map on my controller please.

Is it MCH? or RDM? or MNK?

Yes, when Adbert joins with you, your Soul is then the stitched together parts of eight of your shattered souls, since you've been Rejoined seven times previously, Adbert makes eight. The plot of Final Fantasy XIV is literally The One, a Jet Li film.

Natural disasters were gonna start happening before Black Rose was employed and with WoL still on the Source, Zenos wouldn't need to wait for them to come back and coul djust hunt them immediately which would leave the Empire to do whatever, thus Black Rose and most likely kill Zenos together with WoL.

WE FALL

They are in the same datacenter (Diabolos I mean) so for RP you can just visit another server. In fact, Mateus is more chill now considering most roleplayers go to Balmung instead (that's the main RP server).
If you are interested in RPing then make a character in any server from the Crystal Datacenter.
I RP sometimes and raid and haven't found anything bad with raiders so far but not like I go hardcore anyway.

It's implying you're a reincarnation of some unknown Ascian, presumably the 14th council member who left before they summoned Zodiark. And went on to summon Hydaelyn.

All this time we thought Hydaelyn was blessing us, but in reality she was just paying her dues to her creator.

Because the Warrior of Light would have been out on the frontlines still fighting so it's conceivable that Zenos would have kept trying to fight you instead of what he did in this timeline.

DNC, followed by RDM

Fuck no, FFXIV universe sucks.

bench friend said that ardbert and the wol are fragments of the same ancient citizen from the unbroken planet where emet is also from
when you almost lose ardbert and you "fuse" and so you are a little more complete which is seen by emet as if you were one of his kind

youtu.be/491MmVpgr08?t=8871
The part about ruling over the lands makes it seem like he doesn't want the throne. He kills Varis because of the gas and wars.

I like the game but fuck Eorzea. Things are going to shit every day.

>hating based autism katana man

I like how people meme this scene but not the one forty minutes later where she affectionately grabs Urianger by the ass

Stop skipping cutscenes. The Ascian shade in that waiting room wonders if Emet also sees a certain someone in the color of your soul. You are a fragmented piece of one of the council Ascians.

Both Emet and Hythlodaeus called that unknown person by your gender, so it's definitely you.

Just unlocked the lvl 75 dungeon before I left because of the maintenance. Any tips for it?

My bet is it's still gonna be Zodiark as the final boss, Hydaelyn will give us the power to get rid of him for good, ending herself at the same time. Might have to go through zenos and elidibus to get to him

Can someone explain to me how the First works for the rejoining? Wouldn't it being fully fallen to light make it just as useless as the Void? Or did they intend to smash it into the Void to "fix" both of them?

zenos' fight autism makes him too powerful

Eorzea's goddamn terrible

The Void is sort of an exception and the ascians first failed attempt at a rejoining.

And now his bitch Varis is probably dead. What a failure jobber.

How the fuck did everything go so right?

Stormblood was so fucking boring with lyse being worthless yet taking up most of the screentime and was only ever interesting the 5 times zenos showed up

It's only a failure if the Flood entirely eats away the Lifestream. The Ascians needed it to be overwhelmed by Light/Umbral aether, and for the people to succumb to Umbral activities meaning, giving up.. Then they also needed an Umbral disaster on the Source that exhibits the same qualities of the element, and then they could Rejoin the First before it was gone.

No. The light is elemental energy that they could use to crack the barrier between the two worlds, forcing them together. It wouldn't be a void, it would be a place of heightened light element.

wWAH HEE

The Void got totally cut off from the lifestream which is what fucked it up. The First was supposed to be consumed with Light while at the same time the Eighth Umbral Calamity with the use of Black Rose was to take place. With Black Rose stilling the aether of living beings like the Light does, the First would collapse and it's aether would pour into the Source.

UUUUUUUUUUUH WE AVERTED THE 8TH CALAMITY SO ZENOS KILLED VARIS?????????????????????

There needs to be an adjoining Calamity of the same aspect on the Source for the falling shard to empower. They made the 13th fall to darkness but didn't realize they needed to align that with events on the Source, so it's Aether didn't rejoin, instead being consumed by the demons, and it just became the Void.

Alright remember when you were sitting and waiting in line for your papers and and one of the imortals stops by and talks to you about how he is aware of the charade? Yeah? Go read that conversation again. Or should I say, for the first time, because you clearly skipped the cutscene.

The WoL was reflecting on the things they were afraid to lose. It's canon that the WoL sees Ishgard as home and Edmont and crew as their family.

Elidibus is a joke, it's impossible to take anything he does seriously.

I blame the fact that there were two shitty fucking dancers so DPS was shit

like what was that all about anyway? I remember it and I was like "did she just slap his ass?!?"

Gee, because it worked so well last time when he sic WoD at us.
Seriously, the guy has gone full retarded.

Lahabrea literally only has like 3x the amount of screen time Nabriales did
We only remember him because of MSQ roulette
Solus has more screen time than Elidibus by the end of ShB

it was you seeing G'raha Tia's memories. The 'Biggs' you saw was actually Biggs' descendant, which you hear a message from at the end of the Twinning quest.

G'raha Tia is your number 1 fan. Remember that he teared up when his hero thanked him for his help, and had your adventures in hardback

*nods head

Fourteen, we have at least two pieces but there's some conjecture that we may have eight because of the previous Rejoinings.

Elidibus is just a retard at this point. So nobody really take him seriously.

At least the design is badass. The katana revolver is so ridiculous but so fucking cool at the same time.

There were 13 shards, just like everything else that got sundered.

but then what does that make arenvald? krile? ysayle? if we accept tenzen and ramza as "your" reincarnations, what of them?

Well we don't have to imagine it, that was what happened to us for this expansion already.

There's only 13 fragments (the Void being totally lost means that part of you is too unless it's Unk)

but that's why he's great, he looks menacing and he's the only one with a different cloak but in reality he's the biggest retard of them all

Obviously the same number as shards.

It will fail of course, but it'll be interesting to see who he uses for that plan.

Even Emet knows Elidibus is going to fail, and that their dream was never going to come true. That's why he simply begged us to remember them.

What so they can mindlessly grind rep to do anything resembling fun?

Making my way through HW right now and it looks like I'm nearing the end. I've heard that Stormblood isn't as good, so should I skip the cutscenes there or are they still worth watching.

im telling you, all of the 5.x series will be us dealing with various warriors of light, absorbing them without having to Rejoin, and eventually become super ascian boy

Thank god for lord edmont writing Heavensward, he saved the universe.

Dude got overpowered once then gave back Zenos his body after saying he could crush the Alliance. What a jobber.

Hythlodaeus might /be/ the WoL's old Ascian identity. It's pretty strange that Hythlodaeus is able to sense Ardbert when previously only the WoL could see him.

My expectation coming in was that Heavensward was peak and everything after was never going top it. Being proven wrong is powerful.

Because of all the damn quests she made you do in ARR.

Lahabrea was extremely overconfident plus autistically obsessed with primals. If you do the Akademy expert dungeon you find out that he was an expert on creative magics and obsessed with collecting and examining different creatures built with it.

Zenos said he ran away, the flashback we saw was that Zenos was going for the kill and he pussied out.

Hey lads I just got to 80. Which EX Primal should I focus on first? I'm assuming one gives the weapon but which one, and what does the other one give?

Reincarnation

Yep, it's dance. It's a ranged dps but you'll more often than not be in melee range more than ranged. Damn is it fun.

THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED MANY TO PREVENT A CALAMITY!

It's sorta meh as an expansion but there are some good and important story beats, watch em

You were born out of the Lifestream like a normal person. That's how souls work. Your soul is just one of the originals.

Titania is weapons, Fatty is accessories.

Tit for weapon. She's also pretty easy.

I loved her and wanted to have intense sexual relations with her.

They know
Titania for weapon
Then pretty boy for right side
Both are simple, but very easy to fuck up

I don't get where did the Hades name come from. First he was Solus, then we found out his real name is Emet but then all of a sudden Hades. Why?

So what is the best way for getting your second character from 70-80? FATEs and dungeon queues?

crop and resize your webms properly retard

>the echo is from you being one of the original pre-split people or something like that
so how does the fake resonance echo work then? elidibus said it was borrowed, but from who?

I think it's safe to assume that YoshiP won't write your origin story for you. Doesn't sound like his vision for mmo players.

Hades is his true birth name. Emet-Selch is his title of office on the council. Solus is an assumed name he used to control the Garlean Empire.

>tfw had what seems like basically everything spoiled for me at this point
Feels fucking horrible. I've been playing with a girl and we wait for each other to go through the story at the same time so we aren't at the end yet. Out of all the places I've been going to for reading on the game to hold me over while I can't progress this is the only one that's been dropping spoilers basically everywhere. As a matter of fact I think it's the only one dropping spoilers at all.

I don't know how I'm going to manage to fake excitement and surprise with her when we get to the plot points. I hate this stupid shitty website, why do I still come here after over 10 years.

How the fuck do I into Balmung? Was going to start playing, but my friends are all in Balmung and they dont want to transfer for some reason.

Every fucking night I somehow seem to get dc'd between 6-10pm and get fucked by a login queue of 1.6k+. Should I just world visit some dead ass server like Sarg or Siren for the first week or 2 so I don't get assfucked by 1hour+ login queues?

what are the changes in ex mode?

Elidibus is invincible essentially. I just saw it more as him having a change of plans and not wanting to deal with the charade any longer, thus giving Zenos his body back and hitting up the moon to think for a bit.

I just want to know what's up with Zenos' eyes. Can't recall if that was part of his artificial echo or something else.

>Have you even been paying attention
Of course, i know all that. Varis and Gaius' interests clearly align somewhat. However, Varis didn't seem remotely surprised that Gaius was alive. I just wonder to what extent they knew of each others activity this whole time, if at all.

So uhh was the wol a ancient? Also the moment they stopped making the player character a complete decoration in dialogue and reactions the story becomes amazing.

Leveling Roulette then dungeons spam.

Questing on a MNK is fucking MISERABLE now. Spending 9+ GCDs to rebuild back to NORMAL damage /and/ you miss every single positional.
He's referring to overworld stuff, where you either can't hit positionals because you have aggro, or can't just True North because it doesn't have 100% uptime.

you get isekaied to the source..... but not as your character.... but as yourself, and without the skill to manipulate aether... good luck

The Resonance works by using an Echo-user as a blueprint and then using dozens of other peoples' aether to copy that blueprint onto your own soul.

>People get numbered 0-5 (with 0 being the circle)
How do you even number them like that mid fight? It's not like you can number them prior because who knows who 0 is going to be.

Then stop reading spoilers

REMEMBER THAT WE LIVED.

Remember that 3.0 scene where the KOTR ruler saw you under a dark light before you finished him off?

After beating MSQ, Ascians and Rejoinings don't even seem to be the biggest threat anymore. Whatever caused the Ascians power of creation to turn against them and undo the very laws of the universe must've been some serious fucking shit and I suspect it'll make an appearance as we get stronger/more whole.

Wait, we're suposed to go under those falling blue disks?

Yeah it's from the Resonance. Fordola has the same eye effect in Stormblood.

if you're on Crystal datacenter, just world jump.

If you're not, you're gonna have to pay. And Balmung hasn't been open in months and likely won't for another couple

What's the real potency of Fey Blessing?
Because its clearly not 250, more like 180 at best.
I hate that they nerfed Indom because of it too, since they are clearly meant to be used together since both of them have 60 sec CD
I also fucking hate how late the fairy use her skills even though they are now ogcds

I can't really remember normal mode that well since I've done it literally only once, but in EX there's some aoe going out during adds spawning water puddle and some O3S bramble shit. There's also shared buster and tether passing.

So nothing happened in stormblood?

Gotta keep something up there in between all the furry yaoi sex, otherwise the poopoo falls out

So How is GNB at 80, guys?

Attached: GNB.jpg (189x267, 9K)

>She

The very first GNB I got in EX roulette small pulled, took his sweet fucking time between packs (thank god for Anatman), and regularly mis-positioned the boss; I do not have high hopes for future ones.

People are posting images too, but really, why is it so hard for people to talk about the game without posting spoilers?

>Emet-Selch is his title of office
I must have missed that, whenever the imortals were talking about him it always felt like a name even though his official position was pretty clear.

>beat the final boss, got the credits
>had to skip because maint
>no post-credits scene
FUCK DID I SKIP IT BY ACCIDENT

I was a cutscene skipper to the max. I had a very vague understanding of the story, no idea where any of the main characters were or what their backstory was. Max I knew was that the scions were a thing.

Knew that Bahamut fell to the ground, also ebil empire, also we go around killing summoned primals. Literally nothing else. The only story I sort of followed was the Manderville quests.

Shadowbringers was just a string of gutpunches, kino, and maximum feels. Yes, knowing the backstory to some of the characters would be nice, yes I'll probably New Game + when that becomes a thing. But by itself, it was fucking incredible. You could change some names, do a minor intro sequence, and do this a a self contained standalone game. If you edit out the "meanwhile in the garlean capital" segments.

No it gives vuln up.

SPOILER tag exists for a reason

As far as Minfilia is concerned, not that I recall.

Considering that Emet said that the Ascians could pretty much live forever it might very well had been that they were using and abusing aether too much to the point that the very nature of the universe rebelled against their blatant misuse of their abilities. We might learn more in the Nier raid, I think it might be tied into what happened on the original world.

She fucks off in SB, you don't see her the entire expansion.

The bigger question is who deploys the Black Rose now? Our actions in the First didn't really lead up to Zenos just going in and killing the Emperor.

Renzokuken tier.

only if she has a giant futa cock

I managed to avoid the thread while playing through the story.

He ought to, the WoL is being held back by being a blank slate and their best moments are when they're given canon characterization, like in the dark knight quests. This game's story would really benefit in a lot of areas by being a conventional single player game rather than an MMO.

its not just GNB every fucking tank in roulette has no fucking balls

welcome to the final days of Amaurot

WHY THE FUCK WAS EVERYTHING SO FUCKING KINO

Post credits scenes are after you finish the quests after the credits.

DYING HOOOOOOPE

Based tranny obsessed EOP

emet-selch has lore bombs when you talk to him randomly on the field, a lot of people will miss stuff

I avoided the threads like the plague while I was working on the MSQ, you should have done the same.

>skipping gosetsu or yotsuyu

Eh, I don't think it's that bad. TBN is fucking busted now and it feeds you tons of damage. Also it feels like they buffed the shit out of the healing Abyssal does in its single cast so timely using it is a lot more important, The Dark Arts replacement button being an actual attack alone does wonders for making the class more fun to play.

So is axe boy gone for good or went the minfilia way?
