SUCH DEVASTATION

>Not to mention he spoke of all people living in peace and equality under the Garlean flag when we know for a fact the people of Ala Mhigo and Doma lived in misery, fear and despair.

Gaius was not the viceroy of Doma and he did his best ruling over Ala Mhigo; it's not his fault the filthy Ala Mhiggers resisted so much. IIRC, Rhitahtyn states that his homeland was going to eat itself alive if Gaius hadn't conquered it.

Attached: 1528430560565.png (367x461, 129K)

Doesn't matter, it was still a land under Garlemald's control. Gaius spoke like being conquered was for the better, when Doma was basically a hell for anyone living in it. Hell, it wasn't even brought up to Varis who was acting all high and fucking mighty despite an entire land under the Garlean banner was basically a shooting gallery for a twisted woman's insatiable grudge, while over in Ala Mhigo, which was supposed to be Gaius' land, people are murdered in the fucking streets or beaten for no reason to near death, or beaten actively to death. I'd like to ask Gaius why he let that shit happen while he was in charge, or ask Varis why he's permitting this kind of shit while looking down his nose at the "savages"

Thats even worse!

They can be, yes, but once again, the Garlean empire was build by, and pretty much run by an Ascian, who are the REASON Primals exist. So they can fuck off.

Shards. Literally not important, as theres thousands of other ones.

that ascien wanted to die, so it all comes full circle.

Rewrite shit to be streamlined and better in ARR, redoing ALL of the voice acting and condensing that long-ass questline from 2.0 to 2.5x into HW, remove dumbass moves like throwing Nidhogg's eyes under a bridge, and let Ala Mhigo burn forever so we can focus on Doma exclusively in SB, letting Lyse burn with it, and you'd be set. Nothing wrong with ShB's story.

I take that last part back - Ranjit was retarded and basically just repeating Zenos' whole shtick from Stormblood "Oh no an unstoppable invincible enemy approaches and disables us even though we could easily take his ass if it weren't for literal plot armor" bullshit.

I suspect it will happen, since we are going to be facing Zenos again and directly controlling primals is now on the table, we may have to learn to flex the Echo on demand in order to counter him.
Especially if he really does intend to absorb Zodiark since we'd probably have to mantle Hydaelyn to stop him at that point.

feed those cats you digusting bitch

Heal/Tank if you want to afk and just get free xp slowly.
DPS if you want to speed it up.

DPS with Urianger as Healer since he gives you all the buff cards

dps would probably be the fastest, it's still going to be slow though.
an avg dungeon run can go from 25-40 minutes,
trusts is a consistent 35 mins.

He's dead in the present-day framing device for FFT as well. FFXIV's raid is not an adaptation of FFT, it's a semi-sequel (kinda, since we all know it's a different world than FFT's Ivalice, but's it's a sequel in spirit), so of course he's dead all those years later.

It's a moot point since you'd need to play multiple roles to level everything up to max, but generally playing DPS is faster than playing healer and tank being the slowest.

Thancred actually AOE's once in awhile when he's tanking.

gameplay is fun but easy to break and also easy to screw yourself over.

You have a mental disorder.

I don't think he'll survive the 5.X patches, will probably be killed off right before the next expansion. We've already fought him as a final boss, he's already mantled a primal for an epic fight, and his motivation is paper-thin. I think he'll be used as fodder to establish the real threat of Zodiark, like he'll try to pull the same thing there as he did with Shinryu and he'll be destroyed for that act of hubris.

Will I ever know?

If you cycle cooldowns well you can stay up, but there's not really much point since the only AOE damage that's happening is what you're doing as the tank.

I compared times pulling bigger and pulling one group at a time and there wasn't much savings.

Hope there is a place in hell for flamers. Not just that game every game

SHIIIIIIRK

I like the pics, but surely you can do better than a repost

man what's with adders though? they're fucking demolishing you every game. I've seen a game where they threw just to screw you guys over. like it was 0(maels)/800(adders)/1200(flames)

Shirk.

I did. He only provoked after every time

how do you guys handle tank swaps?
I just used to turn my stance off and OT would provoke but i got into shirking and keeping tank stance and it feels WAYYYY much better.

Yeah dont know why i bought the mael meme should have join adders they coordinated as fuck and alway work as a team with my time free lance for them, while everytime i play for mael nobody says anything and just charged head first into the nearest fight and got demolished and mael rarely communicate unlike adders

Why not both?

Shirk. Don't worry about anything because it's all on the other tank now.

I'm not sure, I actually don't think Zodiark would fight us without being subsumed like Zenos wants to do. Being that he was summoned to be the planet's will his interests should theoretically align with our own the same way Hydaelyn's do, that being non-intervention unless he's directly asked to do something as with recycling a metric fuckton of aether into seeding new life. The "Z" name for Zenos and his status as a "dark Warrior of Light" down to having the Resonant as a "dark Echo" is most likely intentional.

Possible but it seems weird to kill him off right after he's finally returned.
If his purpose was to die for that then he probably should've stayed dead after Shinryu. It feels more like he is being built up to be a major threat (again)

Makes one wonder how Elidibus will handle him, since gunning for Zodiark puts him in direct opposition to the Ascians.

It's my favourite. I think almost anyone would agree it's the best written and has great music but the gameplay is a bit more subjective : for me, I love it, it's easy to break but I still prefer it to the mashing-attack ATB combat that makes up half the series.

Try it out! It's the FF game where characters act the most like real people and not anime tropes, where drama emerges out of people fighting for beliefs that really make sense for the context they come from and not out of some megalomaniacal world-conquering (well, mostly).

adders have a shit ton of premade that's why.
flames are UNGA BUNGA retarded but they win because they just go full DPS most of the time.
mael used to be good but idk what happened.

wym by both?

half of them have battle fever by the end of it.

I bet so. Ilsabard in general is an unexplored continent and Radovan, whose recount of hrothgar history is extremely slippery at best (hrothgar can trace their lineage accurately back to the Third Astral Era and the Allagans?), is our only real insight on hrothgar. Conversely Fran, the Dramaturge, and Radovan's companion whose name escapes me are the only looks into viera we have, beyond everything else known about them from previous games.

The Thancred fight is also slow as fuck.

I recommend War of the Lions. The writing is a bit fancier, the writing in the OG is "plainer" while War of the Lions has everyone speak ye olde English, but at the same time the localization was so butchered that I barely understood the story in the original, even if they did speak plainly.

Here are some examples:
PS1: The church claims he was a blasphemer and anarchist-the root of all evil...
PSP: The Church maintains he was a heretic, an inciter of unrest and disturber of the peace.
--
PS1: Many soldiers who returned from the war, had no jobs, little money, and even less loyalty to the crown.
PSP: The loss of the Fifty Years' War saw knights returning from the front stripped of livelihood, their fealty to the Crown and nobility abandoned.
--
PS1: We'd never kidnap a VIP.... for money....
PSP: He would never...hold a man for ransom.

Gukumatz is Ran'jit's martial art, he brings up the name himself several times (usually "A MASTER OF GUKUMATZ NEED NOT" yadda yadda). It has something to do with the dragon familiar he uses and merges with.

If you noticed everyone who hates him is a "UNGA BNGA WOL STRONG RANJIT WEAK" brainlet, even though ranjit never actually beat the WoL and only temporarily disabled them, but that's just incredibly unrealistic for a grizzled veteran who's been fighting for generations using some weird fucking ninja monk fighting style, even though its the biggest kung fu movie cliche ever

I mean, it happened with Zenos too. Zenos shows up, little to nothing is known about him, you fight him and he easily wipes the floor with you for no explained reason. Is it just cause Zenos came first that people don't mind when he did it?

We got backstory on Zenos eventually, Ran'jit's only background is that he fought for a long time and has a dragon. Zenos is a genetic experiment.

Because that savages excuse is just a means to an end and he doesn't actually care. What he really wants is the rejoining to happen and to become part of the master race

it's because zenos was 10 levels higher than you
ilvl matters

the question is how zodiark is going to even show up, though. if it was possible for him to manifest in any physical form the ascians would've done that by now. and obviously we're not going to let any more rejoinings happen, so that method is out.

Exactly what I've been saying, thank fuck I'm not the only one. The dudes been fighting Sin Eaters for years, leading the biggest army in Norvrandt, and is clearly some master of not just crazy kung fu, but arcane magic, since Gukumatz is his familiar born of forbidden magic.

Time travel maybe. We don't know what happened to the "bad future" as well, if it still exists in some parallel timestream or what, there could be some bullshit there that would feed into the current timeline.

Yeah, in hindsight it was a pretty nice moment, a lot of people said it was a shitty quest, but it felt like a simple wrap up to the journey of the Dragoon up to that point. Shame that I fucking hate the Dragonlancer set because it looks like trash on male Roe's, but oh well. RIP Nidhogg.

I dont see how. The only way to traverse time was the tower, and it dipped to the First. The bad timeline, if it exists, is trapped forever in that line, which sort of adds to the weight of G'raha's mission, that an entire timeline sacrificed their hopes, dreams and futures to save a past they will never live in.

the time travel was reverse-engineered from alexander. the tower was only needed for its incredible control over aether, but theoretically they could still do it if they had something else of similar power

Nothing but pure shit tanks on the df today, i feel sorry for you anons trying to level a dps or healer

It's been discovered that the Trust NPCs will adjust to try to make the dungeon take about 30-35 minutes on an average run without wipes, no matter how hard and balls-to-the-wall you DPS. If you do a shitload of DPS, the rest of the team will slack off. If you're pulling shitter numbers, the rest of the team goes nuts. This has limits, obviously. If you're just straight up AFK on a trash pull they won't make up for you not contributing.

I think the optimal way to level all of the Trusts is using them to level one DPS and one tank. Probably Urianger, Thancred, Ryne for the DPS and the twins and Y'shtola for the tank.

Honestly i'm fucking done with farming Rathalos until the add the 8-man unsync option. We're at the stage where parties are usually competent enough to get the clears but people deal such absurdly pitiful damage that it just takes way too fucking long

Job-quests in general are assumed to have been done in the expansion where they take place, Estinien doesn't know you if you've already started or beaten Heavensward.

Come on bro. Don't be stupid.

Can't wait to get judge armor when we visit Garlemald.

They just don't. Same with the Sultana possibly being "dead" and in the Culinarian questline at the same time. Just assume that quests take place when they came out.

They don't
The job quests are in their own "timeline" of sorts, where all the events of them are pretty much set back to the very earliest you can do them. So if you do the DRG quest after beating HW, it would be as if you were going back in time.

Most bosses are heavy on movement and if you just walk after them you die a lot
Ranged dps can preposition for some mechanics also and have it easier being in the right places

Man this dude was such a wasted character. He had the dopest Legatus armor we've seen so far but he just dies to show us that garleans are also noble i guess? Feels like they wanted to do something with him but changed their plans or lacked the budget

Assuming full MP and Lucid Dreaming is active you can get half of your party up, potentially saving the group from a total wipe and saving healer MP. Red Mage is a pretty huge safety-net.

>redoing ALL of the voice acting
I feel like this part is constantly overlooked when people talk about fixing the old story. When a new player comes in they get told over and over how the story is one of the strongest parts of the game and all that jazz but on top of the boring, padded ARR shit that goes on for far too long, the handful of times there's a good part or cool scenes its absolutely ruined by the terrible 2.0 VO. It's been so long since we've been there but every time I'm reminded of ARR Minfilia or Thancred I just laugh out loud. Its so fucking bad its embarrassing. I think Minfilia's
>Thancred, no!
might be one of the worst delivered lines I've ever heard in any video game.

The worst part is some of the actors they had for 2.0 aren't terrible in other stuff, they were just dogshit in XIV. Like they had terrible direction assuming they had any at all.

Rewriting and truncating ARR would be the perfect time to go back and do this, especially since there were comparatively far fewer voiced scenes back then anyway. It would increase the quality of ARR and make the whole game more consistent instead of having the HW actor shift.

My only request is they keep Louisoix's actor since he's about the only one on the 2.X cast that fucking pronounced "Alphinaud" correctly anyways.

For the lulz

Louisoix speaks in 2.x?

Hopefully someone records the trainwreck.

Yeah its pretty embarrassing.

I've been saying this since the day that 3.3 hit. They establish over and over how removing the eyes from Estinien would be very risky instead of just straight up killing him since the eyes might just posess whoever is nearby. So considering how the WoL, the most powerful beign in existence, was right fucking there Alphinaud decided to yeet the eyes off the bridge instead of risking a Nidhogg-posessed WoL. Makes sense to me.

I don't have a decade to wait for a coil group.

Yeah its awful. Thank fuck for AF gear.

Use PF.

You can solo the majority of it, there are only a couple fights that can't be done so. Off the top of my head it's just Nael deus Darnus, and that tree boss from one of the later coil tiers.

You didn't see the thread earlier? He was talking about how he had to be contrarian from all the features that "pretty" Vieras take. Goes to show that Viera are ugly, but can be much, much worse.

Why would we have gotten it with GNB, its class-fantasy is Squall and Seifer.

I have to agree, but having him die before seeing minifilia separate from ryne might have been some unfulfilled character development

>I am a supreme hipster

tfw I do have terminal MMO autism where I like being something not everyone plays so I'm a femroe AST.

Have Thancred dying as Ryne rushes to his side and he sees Minfilia doting on him as Ryne tries to save him with her newfound powers but fails to do so and he shuts his eyes whispering about finally going to see Minfilia again. Would've been 10/10 ending for him and given Ryne something to build off of.

Even if they didn't possess the WoL or Alphy, the eyes have been so much trouble for so long, it probably seemed like a better idea to just toss them into the fucking elemental shredder pit and let them be lost forever in the depths and risk taking them back to Ishgard where who knows what could happen.

Anything, but whatever you pick, learn how to do it well
Everything is useful as long as you can do mechanics and don't need to be carried through shit. So make sure you know your stuff

Is there any other job that just keeps doubling down on it's strengths during the leveling process like BLM? It really is perfection.

I can do mechanics and am a quick learner, I am just indecisive.

BLM and SAM are the best-designed jobs in the game, if you ask me.

I don't think I've seen that race/gender/job combo literally ever. Saw a female elezen AST once and it blew my mind.

Because the writers are actually good and know killing a character because their current character arc concluded is retarded and the most generic writing possible, and only hack writers think "OH THIS CHARACTER IS DONE WITH HIS ARC, TIME TO KILL HIM OFF"

I hate all the shrek cosplayers that post their characters here however I do like Femroe because I think proportionally they are very well balanced. Their animations are also not terrible, I can't stand the combat voices though, can't win them all.

I don't care about being a hipster, I want lower represented jobs to see more representation.

Then I'm sure you'll love leveling everything so you can adapt to whatever group you're in
I'd recommend a healer first, tank second and a dps third.
That seems to be the order of most to least wanted whenever I check

The ending to Minfilia's chapter tying into the ending of Thancred's chapter would've been great writing though. His transformation from playboy to father figure is his defining characterization and without it he really has nothing else to expand upon. Now they just keep throwing little girls at him to protect and it's bad writing.

Did the PSP butcher Argath's quotes namely the animal's have no god quote?

With the loss of Old Hagakure, i wouldn't put Sam in there yet.

Femroes genuinely look good, my only complaint is their shoulders are a bit stiff in the walking/jogging animations but I get it's because they're carrying themselves like ooga-booga strong amazons. I even like the Shreks, so long as the face and hair are well put-together the skin-color's an afterthought. I saw a solid-black femroe once and me peepee hard

I actually don't care too much for Hagakure after getting to play around a SAM without it. I have this autistic class-fantasy in my head of Samurai as a calm, measured, collected swordsman and the rigidity of not being able to manipulate my sens freely meshed real well with that, I had to pay attention if I wanted to apply Higanbana with raid-buffs or keep it from falling off.

Why the fuck do so many femroes use colored highlights though, I'm a long time brown skin/white hair lover so I went with that. I swear of the few femroes I ever DO see they always have brightly colored highlights and it's tacky as fuck.

No bad writing is thinking just cause a character has nothing more to expand on that they should just be killed off. A dead character can't do anything anymore, a living character can contribute to other characters arcs, find their own new arcs, or just contribute to the overall plot in some way. You're a shit writer if you can't find out a way to use a character without just killing them off.

So where would you take Thancred from here then? His life is pretty fucking awful and he has basically nothing left to live for except some obligation to Ryne and probably being fake-dad to the new NPC.

Imagine being Gaius in the Praetorium and having to be all like "damn, Lahabrea, you ascians are super powerful, what with your stolen body and floating red icon in front of your face. I would totally partner with you for conquering Eorzea, with both my army and Nero." when all he really wants to do is fuck Livia sas Junias in his quarters. Like seriously imagine having to be Gaius and not only sit in that Ultima Weapon while Lahabrea flaunts his stolen body in front of you, the burning ring of fire around you barely concealing the Sharlayan Archon tattoo on his neck, and just sit there, line after line, word after word, while he cast that spell. Not only having to tolerate his ridiculously unfashionable robes but his haughty attitude as everyone that wasn't immolated by his Ultima spell tells him he WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS and THE MOTHERCRYSTAL WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS, ASCIAN because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch Thancred's gorgeous fucking face contort into types of evil laughter you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of Ala Mhigan refugees and child-groomed Tribunuses for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Garlemald. You've never even seen anything this fucking annoying before, and now you swear you can taste the aether that's burning in the air as he sucks it in to cast another Ultima, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to sit there and revel in "the glory (for that is what he calls it) of Zodiark" the god that he and his pals have killed billions trying to bring back. And then Lahabrea calls for you to kill the Warrior of Light, and you know you could kill him and every single shadowless moon nigger under his command and allied with his cause, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Gaius van Baelsar, the Black Wolf. You're not going to lose Eorzea over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Steps of faith will be even kinoer.

Let see, his duty as a scion, the defense of Eorzea, the reconstruction of the First, his friends, the eventual defeat of Garlemald and the Ascians, Ryne, who despite having embraced her role as Minfilia doesn't mean Thancred can't be around to be her father figure since she never had one to begin with. Perhaps the COUNTLESS other possible ideas that could arise in future patches and expansions.
Christ it doesn't take a genius but at least try to rub some brain cells together.

Well, not really, her role is still oracle of light, that's now cemented with her absorbing minfilia's power. Now the question of what exactly does an oracle of light do begs to be answered. She still must discover and come into her own powers.

>Let see, his duty as a scion, the defense of Eorzea, the reconstruction of the First, his friends, the eventual defeat of Garlemald and the Ascians
This is just a generic motivation and should not be the defining point of any of the scions. They all should have their own characterization PAST this and if this is their only motivation then they really have nothing left going on.

>motion to dismissal rejected

I see that FFXIV is full of White knights.

I would that rabbit

Why can he not just spend his time doing nice things and then retire to tell the next generation of scions what happened? He's already becoming a father figure. He may as well become a grandfather figure

I feel like the control of Eden thing is really shoehorned in how Ryne just figures it out so quickly.
If they use Gaia or w/e her name is as a counter to Ryne and say "This is what the Oracle of Darkness does and therefore the Oracle of Light should run parallel" that could be an interesting way for her to develop albeit from the wrong influence (she does something rash or impulsive because the Oracle of Darkness would do that).
I just think it's silly when the story acts like Ryne shouldn't be part of the scions or equivalent and that she has no place with them. Guess we will see what happens next.

you got shit standards.

I play FFXIV, I'm not going to pretend I have standards.

That implies the game is going to be around long enough to put any of the scions in a grandfather position.

Nigga it's their job. You said he has nothing left to live for except Ryne, but he's got his fucking job and his home world that still needs to be defended. His friends who still count on him. He HAS characterization past his job as a Scion. You and everyone who thinks it would have been perfect to kill of Thancred think that a character who doesn't keep changing or growing or getting new plot hooks is better off dead, rather than just letting the character contribute to the plot.

What I'm saying is their job goes without saying, if that's all you have left for a character that's dragging it along past their prime.
If Thancred becomes a fucking father figure to the oracle of darkness or whatever then it's really just getting silly that they cannot put him into any new scenarios.

people with dumbass looking glamours are usually cool bros, I'm okay with this

Ryne can't be a Scion, she doesn't have white hair

If it keeps earning SE money they will keep it around

Doma was actually perfectly fine until Hien's dad tried to rebel against the Empire. I'm pretty sure that, aside from conscription, increased taxes to Garlemald and Kaien being demoted to Vice-roy, the place was relatively untouched. Aside from the Confederacy being hunted down for piracy, since they were, you know, pirates. It wasn't until Kaien rebelled that Yotsuya was put in place to 'teach them a lesson.'

I usually can't help but be impressed by obnoxiously faggoty glamours like that because it takes enough clothing-coordination knowledge to really sell you on it. Like that one pink garters-and-stockings trap hyur that used to get posted here a lot

Kind of? Alphinaud and Alisaie werent original members but sort of joined just from being around so much. Ryne will be one as well if they decide to keep her and not leave Thancred on the 1st

are ascian stuck in Duty finder until they get a body, cause they don't go to the aether.

All the big candidates are either on our side already (Gaius, Estinien, Arenvald, etc) or died like Iceheart.

They have a login queue.
Related to Ascians, can someone explain what the lesser Ascians are? If the big 3 are unsundered remnants from Amaurot then what are the little league guys?

their sundered selves can be ascended back to their former stations

they are elevated souls to the position to help the ascians. Remember each of their known names are just titles. Anyone can be a "mintron" or "lahabrea"

Little-leaguers are underlings and general rank-and-file. Emet-Selch talks about the Ascians being structured as the original Amaurotine society was, and the known Ascian names are just titles and stations that recruits are uplifted to if they're not Elidibus/Emet-Selch/Lahabrea. The ones you knock off in the SMN storylines and such were probably just secretaries or something in their original lives since they're not powerful enough to possess anything more than a corpse.

Wouldn't that require finding the scattered pieces of their soul across the shards?

Why? Why is a character performing their job, where said job is heavily involved in the major plot of the story, dragging them past their prime? What about the other characters, huh? Alphi is pretty much wrapped up, he's done the "try and do something smart but it blows up" schtick multiple times, might as well kill him off, yeah? How about Alisaie? She wrapped her arc up pretty much, she wanted to help you, she couldn't, she ended up fighting alongside you to save your life, I can't see anything else for her, might as well put a bullet in her. Urianger and Y'shtola too, right? They don't have any hanging threads to follow, might as well sweep them out the door all theyre doing is cluttering things.

Do you see? If you start going by your logic of "this character isn't having an arc, kill them off" then pretty much every character in this game will just get killed off, because a story isn't made up of characters constantly having character arcs, sometimes it's just characters moving the plot along and performing their jobs.

Wait, is that explicitly stated?

Which is a shitty thing to do. A crushed rebellion is a lesson in itself, putting a monstrous sadist who kills Domans just to get off isn't a lesson, it's fueling the fire for more rebellion and unrest. Maybe it would be different if Yotsuyu was hunting down the rebels, but she literally just went around torturing and killing random people in the streets, for years.

Not him and it's been a while since AND I didnt particularly like the MNK job quests but I think it's stated during the HW job quests

It's the way the empire operates. just look at ala mhigo as well as what the gunbreaker guy says about his place. They just scorched earth the place, enslave everyone, and then beat them if they don't give them enough tribute.

What is the reception to Ryne anyway from the NA, JP, and EU? Do they like her, because it's obvious Yoshi replaced Minfillia because everyone hates Minfillia.

pretty sure the lesser ascians are just sundered souls that get elevated the same way they did to ardbert and co. to shove them through space to the first
did they ever explicitly state who the other two survivors were besides emet? obviously it's implied to be the big three but i don't remember it being outright stated, only that emet himself was one and there were two others

Don't really care for a mount that you can get in 7 recolored versions. Especially if it means carrying a lot of retards in PF.

I haven't seen anyone express any major dislike for ryne so far.

Emet-Selch, Lahabrea and Elidibus are named as the survivors by Emet.

XIV also recycles mechanics like mad to help people understand encounters at a glance easier.
Imagine if every new stack mechanic had a new marker associated with it instead of the arrows.

She's not bad, she is designed to progress and grow up as the patches come out, the question is how will she be after that point?

I don't see the problem if the fight overall is interesting. Oh no a stack marker, what a copycat fight! That's a load of rubbish.

Less boring than Minfilia was, which automatically justifies her presence

Thats not necessarily what I mean. Reusing mechanics with a twist, like how E2S does the flamethrower with adds coming from where you stood is good. However, I'm 95% certain Hades EX will be a straight 1:1 rehash of the Flamethrower into Water Spout into AOE puddles from E11S

Why would anyone ever want to be a bunnygirl instead of a catgirl? bunnygirls don't even look good!

Don't argue with people who only think with their dick.

viera are pretty good looking, when they actually look like viera and not pale thots with emo haircut and glasses. sadly that's like 99% of them

>Stand in AoE brainlet

At least she didn't cause the bloody banquet.

Ryne a cute. But she was better with the blonde hair.

Even the moments of angst she had where I thought people would hate her seem to have gone over well but helps that it seems appropriate given her age and the apocalypse that was creeping ever closer.

She now has all the special powers of Minfilia while being more interesting so unless they completely shit the bed with her in the future, she's a net positive so far.

Wonder how they'll justify her coming to the first if that's the route they go.

She's endearingly stupid.

>Comes to source
>Just tell people to come to the rising stone

I thought the same and after PFing ES2 for ages I can tell you that there's a good reason for it.

Melee dps is extremely high risk/medium reward instead of the ranged dps low risk/low reward (Unless you're BLM).

Was Minfilia really that bad? I mean, I get the entire meme of return to the Waking Sands, but she wasn't that bad when you compare to everyone else who was just as bad such as Thancred or Lahabrea.

Heal macros. If you play WHM, make Cure 1, Cure 2, and regen macros

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure"
/ac "Cure"
/ac "Cure"

that will cover mouseover target, your target's target (for when you're DPSing), and your target, in that order. if it cant land on any of those, it will heal yourself.

Probably this expac or next

His purpose post-4.0 is to sow the seeds of chaos in Garlemald so that we can go there to help the Populares gain control from imperial forces.

But user, they can turn the primals into a new golden saucer game!
Play pokemon fights with the primals you've beaten the synched min ilvl ex!

Really? It feels like he’s being set up to be a true Warrior of Darkness to oppose us in 6.0 where we put an end to this Ascian/Zodiark plot.

Minfilia literally had zero character
At least Thancred even at his worst had some smidgen of a personality, and Lahabrea got blown the fuck out by a pope so that automatically excuses his shit writing, for Minfilia she wasn't a character so much as a title, "leader of the scions"
Even as a mcguffin we've been chasing after for two expansions she wasn't interesting
Ryne was literally the best possible thing that could have come from Minfilia

>Literally fuck off we're full holy shit
All servers are full now dude.

honestly all of the Scions were shit for the longest time. a few of them still are. if it weren't for the Twins, i wouldn't have given a shit about any of them. Thank god for improved character development and good side characters.

really i think only yshtola is still lacking in anything interesting in the current time, and krile if we're counting her as a main scion i still don't know if she's b-team or what

Not everyone is interesting or needs to be interesting
The ones that are plain just make the interesting ones stand out more

I would like some low-power B-team and maybe C-team side adventures

>Ane-san
Part of it is down to bad localisation. The rest is shitposting of course.

Streamline ARR. Chiefly by:
>Making a lot of the superfluous into shit side-quests.
>Get rid of the waking sands mechanic - have Minfilia linkshell you, have you return there only for 'end of arc' situations - after you beat titan you go back there once, after you beat Leviathian you go back there once, ect.

HW:
>Dramatically cut back the moogles of churning mist, do more to convey the sense of the Dragonic-Elezen civilization that inhabited the land before the betrayal by the knights of the round.
>3.1 is the aftermath of the war with the church and Nanamo/Raubahn.
>3.2 is the end of the Dragonsong war.
>3.3 and 3.4 are now the Warriors of Darkness, not just 3.4. Tie the warriors of darkness in with Ilberd/Griffin. Instead of just 'bully beastmen lol' they are working with Ala Mhigan resistance fighters to try and summon what they think will be Rhalgr but which Ilberd intends to be Shinryuu. The threat is greater here because if other subject populations of Garlemald see the Ala Mhigans successfully revolt by summoning a primal, they will attempt to summon their own. The WoD threat becomes much more existential.
>3.5 is Ilberd/Griffin.

SB: changes necessary are so extensive that in the ideal situation you end up needing to change what shadowbringers does. One has to choose whether to focus entirely on Ala Mhigo or entirely on the far-east.
Option 1: Ala Mhigo. Save the far east for 6.0. Go big on the Tibety/Himalayas vibe of Ala Mhigo. Your task is to unify the disparate factions of ala Mhigo: diehard republicanists, royalists, 2 or more rival monastic orders, beast-tribes, nomadic sunseekers, collaborators. Some kind of Shangri-La zone and plot device exists. Patch content is the messy aftermath of revolution (Insurgencies, bitter enders, how to deal with collaborators). Fordola takes Yu's role, after 4.3 it largely follows the same formula.

Don't cut the Moogles, they need to remain in order to trigger future Moogle PTSD.

What materia should I be focusing on as a MNK? I heard I should skill speed as much as I can, but what else?

I don't disagree that not everyone need be interesting, but the literal leader of the scions, the most important person in the organization, should have SOME character to speak of
when the only redeeming quality i can think of for minfilia is "she had big tits i guess", that just doesn't cut it for such a large role

>Heal macros
actual cringe

Probably in the 5.0 patch series or for 6.0. If 6.0 is the Garlemald/Ascian expansion, he might be the narrator like Ardbert was for 5.0.

I didn't know this guy was real.
>he actually spent 1.2 million buying minions of his waifu off the marketboard

>Macroing your heals

Yikes

Option 2 would be go Far East. Plot is vaguely WW1 style of "Eorzeans are stuck in a quagmire that won't yield one way or the other with the Garleans. Scions go like Lawrence of Arabia to the (far) east to ferment unrest and distract the Garleans. Same shit as before but now Doma can be more than one zone, you could include Nagxia but probably shouldn't include anything further west/south else the Viera's absence is an issue. Plot really doesn't change except 4.1 is now the aftermath of what to do with non-Yutsuyu collaborators. This would then have 6.0 be Ala Mhigo and the Near East (South Ilsabard, Thavnair).

No real change to Shadowbringers except maybe make the ruins of Amaurot the entirety of the Tempest instead of just 1/3rd of the zone.

Point taken.

We have to see what happened after the camera cutoff. I'm wondering if they might not do something crazy and have Gaius align with Zenos because Zenos (1) Promises to go after the Ascians and (2) Won't use black rose and (3) Could reveal "yeah the warrior of light? He serves a primal.".

I see those every day. Because I’m one of them.

fake queues btw. i still get a "15th in queue" message at 4am, login 30 seconds later and theres like 7 people in limsa as opposed to the typical several hundred.

Just smash cancel and try again - you'll skip it every time.

I'm starting to think Elidibus is playing a long-con independent of Zodiark and Hydaelyn. I am not familiar enough with FF's to know the prior archtypes they run with, but Elidibius' talk of balance in the past doesn't seem like it would be a deceitful lie. My question is did he ever mention "My true god" "The one true god" "Hail Zodiark" type shit? Or has all he said been "Grrr fuck you Hydaelyn"?

More than likely. The next obvious place to go is South Ilsabard and probably Western/Southern Othard where the Viera live.

Definitely. My dream team would be him, Gaius, Urianger, Yshtola, Goesetsu, Alisaie and Alphinaud. Ysale if she was still alive obviously.

why would they do fake queues for some servers and not for others

All queues I've seen ended in under a minute
I treat it as an extra loading screen and just get a drink

Meld SkS until you can comfortably hit 6 GCDs under PB while using GL4 (which is about 1015SkS, or 1.94 GCD) then meld Crit. If crit is maxed out, do direct hit

What should I do with Ronkan gear that I have already replaced and I have no use for anymore?
I can't seem to turn them into grand company seals for some reason. Do I just discard them?

Honestly I would look into it before playing. I love the game and have hundreds of hours into. I really recommend it, but it isn't for everyone. It's better if you can get your friends to play. Also a good free company helps.

put them on retainers

Thanks, user.

I have no idea what the fuck he was talking about with lighter DPS checks when E2S exists

Could always put them into the glamour dresser, or give them to your retainers to wear.

They do a good job of making the Garleans stand out uniquely. They aren't just easily forgettable fantasy villains in aesthetic, the elites seem to have an almost bio-organic feel to their armor.

Our main interaction is on the Warring Triad rather than in the MSQ. They should have given him a more central role but it was difficult given the majority of the MSQ was you vs dragons and you vs elfpope.

I want DPS judges with DRG gear that use staff weapons that split into dual wielding a'la FF12. Obviously their heavy plate would make them a contender for tanking but with gunbreaker I don't see the need for yet another tank.

Striking makes me so fucking mad. If I had the DRG or ranged set for melee I would have been happy with that set for the entirety of shadowbringers. The maternity ward robes are atrocious.

Ronkan stuff is for glam
But if you really want to turn them into GC seals wait for next patch. New tomestone gear can't be turned in until a patch or two later

Are we getting new goetia gear in 5.1?

Probably not until next raid tier

reminder that Chadnos became a guest character before Gaius did.

Attached: Zenos helmet dissidia.jpg (1200x1200, 148K)

The best we'll get is some materials for crafting/gathering gear purchaseable with Goetia.
Goetia is going to be unobtainable in 5.2, Phantasmagoria is going to be uncapped and weekly cap tomestones will be a completely new one.

He kicks your ass twice before he ever gets the echo and also subjegated Doma the same way.

>Little money

Dont you mean l i t t l e money?

Samurai would absolutely beat DRGs and MNK's asses no contest

>Wanting a limited job

I can imagine you killing yourself

Bruh I am SAM and MNK DPS is supposed to be rivaled only by BLM. Unless PVP still requires positionals I think they'd be able to kill us. Maybe 5.08 when we get potencies updated or 5.1 when Shoha is untied to meditation we'll do better.

What would the ascian job be called. ASC? ASN?

Didn't Elidibus already get his ass handed to him by Zenos? And Elidibus was using Zenos body while Zenos had some random jack off.

BUFF SAM

NOOOW

Dude what? You realize PvP abilities are completely different? What are you even in about?

If anything he struck me as a potential avenue for them to take with beastmaster if it weren't a limited job. Instead of being able to tame any odd beast you'd be limited to 1 (maybe 2, no more than 3) beasts but be able to fusion dance with them the way Ran'jit could.

However, the obvious new job for 6.0 is not going to be shown in 5.0. It'll appear probably 2 or less patches before 6.0 drops:

>Thancred and Yugiri showcase rogue/ninja in 2.2. Ninja comes out in 2.4.
>Alisaie showcases RDM in 3.4, RDM appears in 4.0.

Racially rather than job-wise you have Fran show up in 4.4(?) before the viera appear in 5.0. Goesetsu shows up in 4.5 so this formula is not perfect as I think SAM was announced by the time he appeared and he didn't fight, likewise we had no hint of dancer or gunblade. At best Nero shows up with a gunblade in Sigmascape (so 4.2 or so) but his animations are Garlean rather than gunbreaker. Still, it's clear that if you see an important NPC suddenly show up with a new weapon and new animation/playstyle in a mid to late 5.x patch it will point towards being a new job.

We know Yoshida said I think in a fanfest or liveletter that puppetmaster and beastmaster were considered as limited jobs. Some kind of a conference or some shit this year after SHB came out and he asked the audience what they wanted job wise and they said beastmaster and chemist.

What's there to buff?
Just because it can't compete with MNK doesn't mean it needs buffs

It's worse than DRG/MNK/BLM while bringing 0 utility.

>SAM and MNK neck and neck in damage
>log gets uploaded
>SAM is at a higher percentile than MNK despite doing less DPS
It actually does since SAM brings no utility at all. Mantra was always nice before but now it's good

You are absolutelly correct and made the right decision. Mmos are all, with no single exception, utter garbage.
Only worthy to be played if they go free before being killed, when they cut the bulshit grind and you have all the content morons paid for, so you take them as a nice walking simulator, with a more or less entertaining story.

Remove the english dub entirely and it'd be perfect.

Nidhogg was great, and given even more nuance in Shadowbringers.

You forgot the removal of English fanfiction """translations""".

We have a time machine now, anything is possible.

Emet wasn't that great. He was just another morally grey villain. Just like every other villain we've had.

The only stand out villain has been Zenos and that's because he is honest with us and himself. He isn't DEEP or doing bad things because of the greater good or a victim of circumstances.

I still don't get how saving the First would have stopped Black Rose, because all that would have happened is the First not rejoining with the Source.

I think it had something to do with light-aspected aether?

The Black Rose became powered up by the First's light aether from the rejoining and took a life of its own and destroyed the entire world in the bad timeline.

all the light aspected aether flowing in from the first is what would've caused Black Rose to go out of control if used

So the empire still has it it just wouldn't have spread to the entire world. Just Eorzea would have been affect?

Headcanon time: stopping the flow of light aspected aether also made factions and individuals more active, resulting in Gaius and Estinien successfully destroying the Black Rose, which didn't happen in the future because of pacifying effect of light aspected aether
