dw rommy, i spoiled myself on purpose cuz i have 0 resistance

sterile moat
#

artemis is hunting

static niche
#

and i can tell ya... it's great

subtle pasture
#

Ssssort of, the Cult of Ephesus emphasized her as a fertility goddess, hence that design, but her domain is typically hunting and women

rough geyser
#

E12S 1st world clear has happened yet..?

rain badger
#

@rough geyser no

nope

#

Nomura's designs are growing super fast on me right now, ngl

IDK where TPS is @ but #3 team right now hasn't even hit p2 yet

forest magnet

#

the transition never happened yet either

rough geyser
#

Ah man, I wanna see the differences, guess i'll wait. Who usually clears first..east or west..?

wet crown
#

turns out, E12S starts of with a mechanic avalance

forest magnet
#

compared to other tiers this tier looks like it's going pretty quickly. We should see transition on stream by tonight.

Nah, Korea are cheaters because they already have strats by the time they get the patch.

lime igloo

well, a team with a lot of Australians cleared TEA first

rough geyser

Well i'll watch it tomorrow as i'm about to go sleep.

lime igloo

and JP claimed E8S

subtle pasture

Stal's group is OCE iirc, so yeah

Ah yes, they get updates later. I see, hope it goes well! šŸ™‚

# rain badger wait artemis is fertility? I thought artemis was hunting

In the mythical irl stuff Artemis eventually evolved into a goddess of the hunt, stuff like the statues posted above indicate that she started out as a fertility goddess, lots of goddesses do. Overtime as several Medi cultures came together Artemis eventually evolved into a hunting goddess (which still promotes family since hunters provide for their children by hunting food for them etc.)

#

the evolution of mythological stuff is really interesting

subtle pasture
#

The "chastity" and "virginal" aspects are fairly modern iirc

prisma vine
rain badger
#

"An important aspect of Artemis' persona and worship was her virginity, which may seem contradictory given her role as a goddess associated with childbirth. It is likely that the idea of Artemis as a virgin goddess is related to her primary role as a huntress."

gaunt star
#

anyone got a good picture of eden's promise

like the arena

Can't stop thinkin' about,

is there a new minion in the eden raids?

pearl oyster

based atlus

subtle pasture
#

--which is based on another many breasted statue of Diana/Artemis, but anyhow

wet crown
#

Fuck, what's her name in SMT4A

#

I thought it's Vishnu

#

She has a similiar design

subtle pasture

This is also the censored design, btw, the original had nips

LUL

subtle pasture
#

On each-- Anyhow,

#

nipples on every single one?

#

||do they poke through the tubetop too?||

subtle pasture

SMT goes hard with its demon designs, always. Just like Nomura did with Promise

#

the fuck did you just write

north osprey
#

My hands were one off the key, sorry. Lol

subtle pasture
#

Grown Gaia is so pretty blushowo

#

OG Gaia, rather. That feels less weird to write

#

Mitron was kinda cute too

#

Noticed his vessel then was deff different, black stubble to blonde

#

The Void Quests are not quite what I expected, but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless,

#

Deffo hinting at a Void expac

gaunt star
#

The void quests were probably my favorite of the patch

wet crown
#

they aren't even done, yet

gaunt star
#

That and the tempering arc, but it felt that was solved way too easily

wet crown
#

it was a long time in the making though

forest magnet
#

Yeah a goddess who made herself celibate is assigned to a guy who's perpetually horny.

gaunt star
#

It feels like they’re setting a group of heroes up for a future expansion, similar to how heavenward set up shb

pulsar lagoon
#

does anyone know where to get the housing poster with the elemental chart? ;w;

subtle pasture
#

Oh, finally on to the tower business

prisma vine
#

why is that chart backwards btw?

muted sandal
#

Doing that e9 raid blindfolded wasn’t fun. So many people kept dying. Going to practice it

gaunt star
#

I hope it’s not that far away though, would love an empire/13th expansion like we got ala mhigo/doma expansion in stormblood

wet crown
#

so 6.0

subtle pasture
#

it's not exactly "backwards," just the astral and umbral labels should be flipped

pulsar lagoon
#

||The void quests hint at us maybe eventually reclaiming the 13th. But Garlemald is all but confirmed for 6.0 i feel.||

subtle pasture
#

all else is accurate but where they're placed-- even then, it's still accurate for Eorzean Aetherology,

forest magnet
#

we may find out in 2 months where we're headed next

prisma vine
#

yo did ||lyse|| just fucking die?

wet crown
#

void expansion isn't gonna happen any time soon

#

the place is a VOID
did you not look at it in the raid?

gaunt star
#

I hope so, miz.

forest magnet
subtle pasture
prisma vine
#

i mean i hope not

gaunt star
#

They deserve a death off screen.

wet crown
#

the guy probably tempered by lunar bahamut to kindle an all out war against Garlemald

prisma vine
#

presumably

wet crown
#

I wonder if the towers are set up to be amplifiers

brisk quail
#

Still...

E11 boss felt right outta a fanfic.

rain badger
#

is anyone watching the e12s prog? eden just shot a crotch laser lol

wet crown
#

It's a primal based on cognition

like E3, E4, E5, E6, E8, E9 and E10

gaunt star
#

The last 4 floors of Eden felt like third wheel fanfic, unfortunately. Doesn’t really feel like they stuck the landing compared to how strong they started.

wet crown
#

I partially agree.

#

I think it would've been better if they spread the elemental summons a bit more

mighty light
#

Oh my god he does sound like Oliver Twist

wet crown
#

A major problem with that was Shiva though. She absolutely deserved the last fight in her tier

gaunt star
#

It’s downhill from shiva for sure

brisk quail
#

E9? Okay

E10? Ehhh okay fine

E11? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

E12? IM SO FUCKING LOST AT THIS POINT

wet crown
#

I like this tier's story the more I think about it

#

I feel like E10 was the oddball here

brisk quail
#

Like why is the boss ||ranjit-thancred-the sineater?||

gaunt star
#

I like some concepts, but there’s a lot they didn’t do with it all

thick tangle
#

Any summary of the void quests anywhere? Interested to see what comes out of those but really not bothered about doing some old extremes I never touched

half skiff
#

does anyone know which zones you can see towers from?

brisk quail
#

That's the weirdest boss design

half skiff
#

there's one in outer la noscea one in the lochs and one in yanxia, not sure if there's any more.

wet crown
north osprey
#

What is the name of the people who are progressing in the raid? I don't watch stuff like that usually, but I am interested.

subtle pasture
#

E11 stuff: ||The Mitron-Loghrif Ascian Prime drew out Ryne's memories to torture her with them, making a chimera of her greatest hopes and fears-- which coelesced to a duel with a distortion of Ran'jit and Thancred in her gaol back at Eulmore.||

#

Like it's too fuckin' metal man blobsweatbutfast

gaunt star
#

Should’ve just summoned a vision of a world without coffee biscuits.

#

None would survive, especially since that’s a cornerstone of their personality.

wet crown
#

more like a world where they have 5 times as many calories

subtle pasture
#

Hencee the boss' full title of ||Dread Hope: Fatebreaker, all of which combined parts of what both men meant to her||

marsh osprey
wet crown
#

E10 is just odd

brisk quail
#

I mean it still feels right outta a fanfic.

For it to be an amalgamation of all of them

wet crown
#

like...why

autumn heron
#

New dungeon I enjoy the fact that its not brain dead like heroes gauntlet. I needed to use a whole brain cell

cinder spindle
#

should i get Exarch armor now or not?

marsh osprey
#

yes

wet crown
#

...his armor?

brisk quail
#

At least the ||clyvia/shadowkeeper fight|| Had relevance storywise.

gaunt star
#

E10 is a good boy, and don’t you dare say otherwise

mighty light
#

||It was just her fears
Thancred's extreme possessiveness was a fear||

brisk quail
#

But why specifically ||ranjitcred the sin eater||?

#

Like they coulda just done one...

mighty light
#

||Because Thancred and Ranjit's protectiveness, Sin Eaters in general, and light||

forest magnet
#

He said it was composed of her hopes too. So Thancred isn't out of place

mighty light
#

They were just making explicit the similar themes between them

subtle pasture
#

||Because both men were like a father to her and represent near same feelings in her subsconscious||

dapper drum
#

Just starting 5.4 and G’raha going full fanboy every time he meets another scion is so great.

mighty light
#

||It's also not like. Again. Thancred's relationship with Ryne is deeply uncomfortable for most of 5.0.||

subtle pasture
#

hence why I'mma call E11 "father figure issues EX"

brisk quail
#

Or just left it off at half of the... extra stuff

mighty light
#

IDK, I liked it; it all fit for me.

gaunt star
#

Maybe graha can push lyse down the stairs and take over the ala mhigo arc. The story would improve.

brisk quail
#

Daddy issues the Savage fight

mighty light
#

It's probably my favourite of the four fights, aesthetically and thematically. I'm most disappointed with E9.

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, E10 and E11 both fit along Promise just don't fit side by side, but incredibly neat fights nonetheless

rain badger
autumn heron
#

A large part of Ryne's personal arc was daddy issues so it fits

mighty light
#

But I really like the Void and was hoping against hope that Voidsent were going to be relevant to this somehow. Should have known better, even though they were literally brought in in E2; Void is still mostly just a monster bank.

Bruh

#

Let me just say this

brisk quail
#

Like 9 and 12 fit

But 10 and 11 fit

But 9 10 11 and 12 don't really fit as a whole

gaunt star
#

A big theme of the patch, in both void and Eden, is ā€œhey, remember wod is a thing?ā€

mighty light
#

10, 11 and 12 fit perfectly well together. They all have to do with memory. 9 is the only one that doesn't fit.

Part of me hopes the cure turns out to be a horrible curse later on.

Yeah, I left E10 unclear who exactly was the keeper

Hm?

The dialogue does imply ||Cylva, it's a lot of notions she told us||

But you are not here to see it QuQ

Lahabrea on the poster was red herring, sorta. lol

subtle pasture
#

iirc the ||Ascian Prime|| had a unique mask, along with its glyph

royal wind
#

This new dude’s motive is ā€œI wanna kill myself, but I also wanna kill everyone elseā€ 😐

forest magnet
#

the glyph is a combination of the two

subtle pasture
#

so we could extrapolate ||Lohgrif's|| from it?

ashen wyvern

Elidibus was definitely ||very close to Laha and Ige, though he seemed to have affection and admiration for Azem as well, if the short story tells us anything (or the fact that he subconsciously came to us at the start of 5.3)||

E10 was confusing. First the behemoth is pointing towards his shadow and then he isn’t. Died twice and I’m still confused by it

torpid yoke
#

it's a mirror

wet crown
subtle pasture
#

It's related to the Shadow's direction, not his own

#

...her own, I suppose

gaunt star
#

What about the elemental circles with daddy 11?

subtle pasture
#

I'mma give the shadowkeeper they for peeps not through role quests,

elder lark
#

even the shadows direction u still had to guess,there were 3 shadows and u could still get caught in that aoe cone,he was far easier then cloud in the end but god damn lol

#

@gaunt star those u had to see what he was standing on,the color of the circle meant which side was safe

torpid yoke
subtle pasture
#

Before the circles appear, he's channeling either thunder or fire-- like the Burnt Strike tells. That color will be an expanded aoe

torpid yoke
#

so the opposite of the dragons element would be safe

subtle pasture
#

Not safe, still needa be between 'em, but they're just within the circles

gaunt star
#

I see. Our party brute forced that one

elder lark
#

hmm i never looked at the dragon but the middle circle, but the same applies

subtle pasture
#

All the circles give an aoe, the expanded ones are based on the dragon he sends up

elder lark
#

@subtle pasture yeah i meant safe as in the side that didnt blow up in a large cicle,the expanded ones

subtle pasture
#

nodnod,

#

the most unforgivign mech for a normal has to be Cloud's balm + arts

elder lark
#

oh god,that bitch took 3 damn near 4 tries and i was still getting hit by that

subtle pasture
#

mostly bc people are bad at waiting a late designating safe spot--

muted sandal
#

@torpid yoke thanks
Now I can do this fight better next time.

subtle pasture
#

also bc people always run for the edges of the bulbs and are trapped in the art of darknerss, when thee middle safe spots will always have a, well, safe spot

gaunt star

I must’ve lucked out on cloud lady; didn’t seem too confusing

undone wyvern
#

did we find out how we get the cerebus mount?

meager forum
#

whats the implication of them talking about amalj'aa being abducted?

elder lark
#

@undone wyvern it'll either be the e12s reward or from DR i'

#

id bet

gaunt star
#

Speaking of chaos, did anyone else’s party have a lolidk moment with the tethered balls in the new dungeon?

rugged basin
#

Personally no, but I lucked out.

elder lark
#

havent done that yet personally though i belive i almost got that dungeon unlocked,just did the ga bu cinematic

gaunt star
#

I can’t decide if it’s my favorite dungeon or if I haven’t run it enough to hate it

subtle pasture
#

could be BLU related I think, the reward for clearing O4S, O8S, and O12S on blus

elder lark
#

@subtle pasture yeah thats also a possibility,we will need to wait to see the WF kill of eden promise to know what mount it for sure

subtle pasture
#

...I just realized the title for Omega BLU could be "Blue Screen of Death"

#

and rip if it is not.

next quarry
#

Cerb isn't Eden, it's not on the reward table for e12s in garlondtools

gaunt star
#

They’ll make so much bank (and likely cause a riot) if that Cerberus is a mog station pre-patch

elder lark
#

@next quarry how reliable is garlondtools

next quarry
#

Very

torpid yoke
#

where else would you put the eden mount

half phoenix
#

Cerb isn't listed as an item at all in 5.4

subtle pasture
#

Garlandtools is one of the most used, eh... mining, databases, even how we notice stuff like if a character has special eyes under their mask or some such

torpid yoke
#

and by eden mount i mean literally eden

next quarry
red talon
#

So, any theories about the puppet bunker quest?

half phoenix
#

It's going to be typical YOKO TARO fair

torpid yoke
#

havent done it yet

subtle pasture
#

this MSQ is 70% politics in an aetherial guise and I realize how much I actually missed this

forest magnet
elder lark
#

@next quarry i see,so its basically a similar route they did like the ramuh mount,hmm i guess we will need to wait and see what happens later in the patch if or when the cerb mount makes an apperance

next quarry
#

Yea

gaunt star
#

Yeah, it felt like 2.0 going back to beastmen politics and I didn’t regret it

forest magnet
#

it felt more interesting than fanny and zenos

next quarry
#

I loved the lominsan stuff

forest magnet
#

since we're actually solving a problem that's plagued eorzea for a long time

next quarry
#

It was satisfying

forest magnet
#

lominsan stuff is nice because limsa has the longest and most tense history with beast tribes

subtle pasture
#

i think each of Merlwyb's speeches made me tear up,

elder lark
#

not to mention ga bu,i had a grin of my face having seen that one just now,one of alisaie's goals was realized since the ARR quest

subtle pasture
#

bc it's just, so... cryingokcatto

next quarry
#

5.4 made me love merlwyb

subtle pasture
#

oh ||Ga Bu|| was instant tears of joy, I saw it coming and I have no idea why it hit me so hard cryy

gaunt star
#

Notably, remember the emperor’s retort to merle at the end of stormblood? The limsa arc of 5.4 specially addressed what made her hypocritical. Maybe we’ll see the other city states go through similar arcs.

next quarry
#

I was thinking that Varis's words really made her think

forest magnet
elder lark
#

@gaunt star if they do,it'll porobbly be in .5, unless thats going to be a next expansion arc

next quarry
#

It'll probably grow on fanny and lunar a bit more, and zenos new weapon

gaunt star
#

And then zenos became a white mage

forest magnet
#

no he becomes a red mage
VerZenos

next quarry
#

I honestly wonder what's gonna be his next weapon

elder lark
#

lol if anything zenos will be the dark knight to our warrior of light šŸ˜„

plucky palm
#

I feel stupid right now

pine epoch
#

At this point I think cerberus mount is Blue Mage reward for clearing the omega raids as blue mage

like how the morbol was the reward for clearing coil and alexander

that'll make me do blu raiding

The Extreme is from E12S yes

elder lark
#

heh,i finally u nderstand why gra ha is an all rounder for trust :D,dungeon unlocked though at the same time i almost wish u could take 5 instead of 4 in a dungeon

next quarry
#

A new version of "A long Fall" is available "via an item code"

#

Huh

elder lark
#

@next quarry the new dungeon for the story run u have 4 trust members+ yourself,with graha as an all rounder your leaving someone out 100%

#

which is why i wish partys were groups of 5

next quarry
#

Makes sense

half phoenix
#

Because G'raha is the new player insert/main character

next quarry
#

WASSOI EMOTE

Won't need to make a new tank trust if G'raha can do it all uwucarby

...when Y'shtola should be DPS/healer and Thancred DPS/tank but here we are

neat edge

hearing Insatiable for source dungeon kinda disappointed me.

Me too

It was totally okay for Triumph in SB to appear in almost all but still Insatible?

why not Soul Surrender?

you mean revenge twofold? yeah that would've worked

Well yea there are a lot more sundered ascians than unsundered

you cant take a dump without an ascian crawling out the toilet nowadays >:(

polar star
#

Ok ok I'm gonna say it, e12 theme is the best in the game

marsh osprey
#

i got the emerald crosss i think pogianger

autumn heron
#

only thing is that most of them are killed off screen

polar star
#

It's almost lile Ascians are....important? Who would've thought

autumn heron
#

the whole plot since 2.0 has been based around them yea

polar star
#

wonder why

autumn heron
#

Until Zodiark is dealt with they will always be a problem

polar star
#

It's not like they're a major plot point

vale flower

its getting to be an utter non-twist at this point

oh wow another ascian that we thought was dead

torpid yoke

  1. I NEED THE YORHA TWINS HAIRS 2. The ascians are the reason why the first even had a flood so makes sense

it is actually the first time

did 5.4 get a new dungeon boss theme?

next quarry

No

polar star

swift kraken

raid was gay rights

the dungeon music is really neat though

hallow steppe
swift kraken

and then it stopped being gay rights
and then it was gay rights again
and then it stopped

polar star

Insatiable is good and all...but I can't count the amount of times I've heard it on 1000 hands

swift kraken

good thing is e12 music is fucking giga dope

polar star

It's all bi rights uwucarby

swift kraken

bi rights is based

i want them to kiss and be happy

And man these cutscenes, still with the incredibly detailed animations. Esp the end of Emerald

obtuse plume

I think I'm a bit late to realize this but just realize Eden raid is basically Genesis

next quarry
#

I don't really like E12 music as much as O11 or From the Heavens

severe brook
obtuse plume
#

starts from the Empty, 6 Elements (6 days god created the world)

subtle pasture
#

There is nothing but peak sapphic energy when their reunion does that

polar star

E12 is my favorite track in the game

obtuse plume
#

Garden of Eden

swift kraken
#

I wonder what e12s music is like but i refuse to look it up

subtle pasture
#

fellas you ever hold hands so strnogly it makes a garden in half a second

obtuse plume
#

I like E12 track but I get why some people were upset

polar star
next quarry
#

We know what it is, but it'll probably pop up anyway

obtuse plume
#

it sounded glorious rather than epic, intense battle

vale flower
next quarry
#

....

autumn heron
severe brook
#

i feel like Promises to Keep is pretty good but it's a bit short and a bit "bombastic orchestral" compared to how the raids usually end

swift kraken
#

e12 being super uplifting felt good

polar star
#

bold of you to say that, I'm on the treadmill rn

swift kraken
#

the whiplash was when it suddenly started being sad though

next quarry
#

E12 intermission music is great

subtle pasture
#

I like how the memories are broken anyhow, but we gotta keep some fragment standing

severe brook
#

the transition phase music is great all around, i do kind of wish that the final phase had a different song even for Normal mode

subtle pasture
#

I'm guessing final phase E12S the giant Promise stays in the backkground and you whale on ||Loghrif||

#

oh, has any group seen it yet?

polar star
#

So you mean e4s?

autumn heron

also Limsa is now up there with Ishgard

now its only Gridania and Ul'Dah that are still shitholes

Anyone else get small ff12 vibes from e12 theme

next quarry
#

@torpid yoke it's probably comes with the Alphi set that's coming to Mogstation soon

#

A new Alphi one-piece aaaaaaaa

gaunt star
#

Ul’dah can be fixed, but the only way to salvage Gridania is to purge the shroud with fire

elder lark

the new dungeon almost made me feel like i was at work,and i work in fast food lol,the clay to make the bread,the water for the meat,and then a boss battle to wrap it up šŸ˜„ lol

I feel like e12s is gonna be a treat in savage

E11 is the best normal fight

imo

polar star

I like all the fights tbh, cloud was a bit boring tho

elder lark
#

@polar star watching stal alot of people are thinking its a door boss,think they have gotten it to 49% and we havent seen a phase transition

split cape
#

Valens is the worst human being in garlemald

polar star

We've known this since last patch

maiden lodge
#

oh hey, ||Artemis|| is kinda similer to Ultimecia

split cape
#

Well it’s more amplified now

polar star
#

It just got worse this patch

#

like, really worse.

elder lark
#

valens,thats the legatus of the weapon storyline right? i mean hes usuing orphans to pilot machines designed to kill them

wet crown
#

In a way, Mitron's goal was similiar to Ultimecia's

thorn linden
#

hi ! someone has animation or pictures of 2nd part of E12S?

elder lark

@thorn linden no one has seen a phase transition yet of any sort

Dude, no one's even been to a phase transition

Oh k, ty šŸ™‚

guys i'm sorry

#

this isn't e12s p2, it's the mount

elder lark
#

@next quarry that a legit picture?

next quarry
#

Some people posted it here before

#

Which is why I say "take it with a grain of salt"

maiden lodge
#

Its been posted in a lot of places, and by data miners

elder lark
#

i almost want to say that opens the possibility of an asican prime door boss,but we will need to wait and see someone post a video of eden promise either defeated or close to dead

wet crown
#

judging my garlond tools, the mount seems to be Eden

next quarry
loud pecan
#

Oh no, once again an ugly ass mount

tranquil flower

Why couldn't it have been the wolf

autumn heron
#

I knew Eden was gonna be one of the mounts cause uhh, its the eden raids

because that's lame

Let's ride the shadowkeeper

I'm sure Cylva would mind

We already have 4 wolf mounts from the SB extreme trials

4?

#

We got 8

tranquil flower

but none of those are the shadowkeeper

autumn heron
#

Oh damn ur right

next quarry

7 for each trial and kamuy

elder lark

@autumn heron the shadowkeeper model isnt a typical model though

torpid yoke
#

anyone got the picture for the hairs?

next quarry
terse mortar
#

so whats hair from ?

next quarry
#

Alphi hair is probably from his new mogstation attire, other hair is probably from ishgard

terse mortar
#

was thinking that

lilac crest
#

I hope eden mount doesnt fucking play e1s theme

#

I want e8 theme

#

I mean 12

next quarry
#

It's probably gonna play E9 theme

#

But the Ramuh mount plays uh

lilac crest

Thats wack if it does

next quarry

Idk

lilac crest

Like look at kefka mount šŸ˜”

unique canyon
#

So do you think we will go to the moon next exp?

Because ending msq made me think we will go as the final zone and that we are getting a WoW Cataclysm style change in most zones

#

Or that they are summoning Calamity Ganon deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

mental summit

anyone have pics of the emerald weapons?

torpid yoke
shell merlin

where can I get the new housing items idk the names

unique canyon
#

I doubt it too but at the same time Yoshi P said not long ago that they wanted to go BIG, so it could meant anything

forest magnet
#

they're not changing the zones

#

it would take forever to remap where npc quests are, gathering nodes, fishing areas, etc.

maiden lodge
#

Thought. We've yeeted so many blades of lights into Ascians and, well, we could have accidentally a sin eater...

forest magnet
#

also they literally just added flying to these maps. If they were gonna revamp the areas in an expac why would they do that

So how rough are the new Eden raid savages?

viscid monolith

Some groups are on E12s

#

Getting stuck

swift kraken

they seem to be fairly rough so far

#

only did e9s but e9s was already p challenging for a first floor fight

subtle pasture
#

Not even hit any sort of intermission, though mechanics from the normal intermission are showing up on the fight proper.

swift kraken
#

pf is gonna implode from 9s alone

forest magnet
#

E11S needs some form of communication because it has a mist dragon-esque mechanic

ashen violet
#

so the ascian in 5.4 patchart: that was mitron?

swift kraken

that mech is actually easily solved and its very funny

forest magnet

oh? how

assign positions, have everyone who sees a clone jump and go to the person who didnt jump lmao

So Garlemald is destroying itself huh

#

why did I see this coming

next quarry
#

We've known this since 5.1 tbf

serene crest
#

By design. That’s how it was built

next quarry
#

Probably even earlier

ashen violet
#

oh shit baby amaro from fate farming huh

polar star
#

Well yeah i knew but like...literally destroying itself now

#

To the point where some parts of it are in rubble

ashen violet
#

emet did say garlemald wasn't meant to last, so.. intended outcome?

polar star
#

Very much intended

forest magnet
#

Garlemald was supposed to fall during the calamity

#

^ Emet after Garlemald didn't fall.

gaunt star
#

It’s safe to say everything emet ever did, including die, was intended

marsh osprey
#

emerald enrage

autumn heron
#

Well emet wasnt supposed to die

#

neither was Elidibus

#

cause all thats left now are sundered ascians that straight up either dont care about the rejoining or are too weak to even attempt it

gaunt star
#

Unless his previous sane self made contingencies.

#

Like the crystals.

faint dagger
#

emerald p1 enrage made me laugh honestly

#

that 'farewell!' had very similar vibes to him literally saying 'byeeeeee'

the crosses are more cancer than lights rampant
no joke

I have to move ree

i am a smn but i barely count

the whole eden promise thing reminds me of Alexander, perfect moment in eternity sorta stuff

Between Fandaniel and Valens I think we've got more than enough villains that are both super evil and super wacky

marsh osprey

emerald clear, finally

random anvil
#

both are kinda cringe tbh

forest magnet
#

Fandaniel is cringe, Valens is just cruel lol

#

Fandaniel sounds like he just watched the Joker movie.

viscid monolith
#

Fandanny is hamming it up too much

elder lark
#

@random anvil honestly i didnt see whats so cringe worthy about fandaniel,just watched the cinematic and "i want to destroy the world and all of us in it" didnt seem that bad of writing

viscid monolith
#

It's not the writing just the performance

random anvil
#

^

autumn heron
#

so a friend of mine reminded me

gloomy tide
#

I can't believe we went from Emet to Fandaniel and Valens. The story going forward just goes downward.

ashen violet
#

oh magnolia released a vid of e12

autumn heron
#

when ShB first came out they did say Eden would EVENTUALLY be required MSQ

forest magnet
#

Nah I like Valens. He's the perfect epitomie of simple, hateable yet well done villain

ashen violet
#

so if anyone doesn't want to see it then watch out for that channel i suppose

rancid turtle
#

Just to double check, the eden questline just ends after talking about the party in cryst saving that for 5.5 right?

forest magnet
random anvil
#

This Hylfyr guy ain't so bad either

#

Vauthry was cool

forest magnet
#

Also Valens is side content

autumn heron
#

Side content is becoming MSQ

elder lark
#

@rancid turtle if you've done the questline that ends at morg soug talking to the expedition npc that is the end of it"

autumn heron
#

like with CT

cyan pecan
#

Warning: His Highness is exhibiting high blood pressure

rancid turtle
#

yeah okay, seems quite abrupt spot.

forest magnet
#

That's one example

bold condor
#

Woah now that's a face reveal I didn't expect. Rhitahtyn sas Arvina.

rancid turtle
#

I hope void quests become msq. I loved the void quests.

ashen violet
autumn heron
#

And like I said earlier they did say Eden was going to be MSQ eventually

bold condor
#

Livia still a total bitch, tho.

forest magnet
#

I wanted Koji-Fox to make a joke about "if your high blood pressure lasts longer than 4 hours please seek immediate medical attention"

cyan pecan
rancid turtle
#

I mean pretty much anything dealing with a proper named Ascian or two is MSQ as MSQ can be right?

autumn heron
#

Yup or the Allagans

gloomy tide
autumn heron
#

Vauthry was great tho

elder lark
#

the one thing im almost sure at,is that lunar bahamut will more then likely be the solo duty to end shadowbringers in 5.5,i mean the whole"if u dont meet zenos i'll send lunar bahamut to burn all u know" kinda insinuates we need to deal with that dragon

forest magnet
#

His point was that we're getting simple villains, when Vauthry was as simple as they come. So is Valens.

rancid turtle
#

I guess. It's hard like they cant just force people to do all side content. But pretty much all of it is canon to the MSQ. Except whatever is happening in nier raids I guess

forest magnet
#

Fandaniel's Telephone gang is gonna be interesting

severe brook
#

i'm guessing Lunar Bahamut will be either a solo duty, or it'll be the first Trial in 6.0 proper
could be both if it's a recurring threat

gloomy tide
#

Can someone post that thing again that shows the drops in each normal Eden?

autumn heron
#

Yea the main thing is that we barely know anything about Fandaniel yet

gaunt star
#

god e12 was so cool

ashen violet
#

how strong was lunar bahamut again?

elder lark
#

@forest magnet also remember,while we're getting "simple villians" the story is nearing its climax,so the whole "i want to burn everything" fits a final battle finale theme

autumn heron
#

So I think youre judging way too early

forest magnet
#

in DBZ, people love Cell saga and Cell is literally so simple too

rancid turtle
#

Zenos is totally going to backstab Fandaniel right?

severe brook
#

so far, we don't really have a gauge of its strength
it set part of the royal menagerie on fire and fandaniel seems to think it'd be a good threat for us to face
that's basically it

autumn heron
#

After 5.4 I am almost certain Zenos will be the final fight in 5.55

forest magnet
#

can u actually go back into the RM

elder lark
#

even alisaie says the dragon let us off lightly if u talk to her after,we arent meant to fight it...yet

forest magnet
#

Or does it have a giant hole in it and can't take nice screenshots there anymore.

doesn't have to be Alfonse in the cockpit at that moment, does it?

severe brook
#

i mean that they might be able to trick Valens into it somehow, and that could be the way he's taken out

cinder spindle
#

idk why but valens remind me so much of kamoshida

pulsar lagoon
#

Valens is totally going to get killed in a cutscene by Gaius

unreal wadi
#

he does@cinder spindle

cinder spindle
#

yeh most likely

forest magnet
#

Stal's group got to P1 enrage

pine epoch
#

To add onto this god awful joke. ||Valens is a mad scientist whose jealous of Gaius. and is trying to be his own "dad" to children.||

cinder spindle
#

would be funnier if zenos comes in then kills valens

unreal wadi
#

Im gonna punt this fucker

dim sigil
#

so where does the first trailer song play

severe brook
#

my guess is it's the Delubrum Reginae theme, that's what i figured before the patch dropped and it seems apparent now

forest magnet
#

the towers brainwashing people to praise garlemald is strange

pine epoch
#

^

#

5.3 trailer the first song was Bozja theme. so 5.4 trailer first song being DR could also be possible

bruh

i can't wait until DR music releases tbvh, big fan of how ominous it sounds

random anvil
#

baited by transations again

bitter cloud
#

Is it just me or || do Cid and Aymeric sound different||

ashen violet
#

Cid definitely sounds a lot gruffer

random anvil
#

i noticed Cid

dim sigil
#

far from the first to say that i heard they all sound off

ashen violet
#

New voice directing i'm guessing

dim sigil
#

the main theory ishome recording and bad mics

severe brook
#

or it's harder to have the level of voice direction/quality they had before since everyone's likely recording from home instead of in studio

bitter cloud
#

ah... that's unfortunate, hoping it's not new VA's

pine epoch
#

Aymeric Va is the same. Cid could potentially be the same VA but either sick or something. Also most of the VAs probably recorded from home. so Equipment and probably no sound proof rooms could contribute to it

#

The only confirmed VA whose different is Matoya. as the original VA passed away

bitter cloud
#

nooo :< that's sad

elder lark
#

i read on reddit this morning cids VA is new,granted i never skimmed that thread closely as i was at work at the time

forest magnet
#

What? That's the first I've heard of this, I thought it was just the Yugiri VA

quasi jewel
#

@half arch Shit. RIP Matoya('s voice actor)

bitter cloud

RIP granny matoya

dim sigil

matyoas va felt so wholesome

I was looking forward to visiting her again too :<<<

i mean tho

#

cid hasnt been voiced since HW

pine epoch
#

Sheila Steafel, passed away august 23, 2019.

dim sigil
#

so a new one makes sense

bitter cloud
#

Wasnt he in StB?

pine epoch
#

lived to be age 84

dim sigil
#

where's the T coming from

bitter cloud
#

stormblood; RIP Sheila

#

StB had alphascape, I swear Cid was VA'd there right?

primal basalt

raids aren’t voiced (except when it’s eden)

i... only remember cid praetorium

gloomy tide
#

So lemme get this straight

gaunt star
#

Broke: Sephiroth
Woke: Weiss the Immaculate

gloomy tide
#

Gaia has an obsessive ex-boyfriend who won't leave her alone even though she's in a new relationship with Ryne

forest magnet
#

Weiss?

#

RWBY?

elder lark
#

@gloomy tide technically we kill said ex boyfriend in the end,so her and ryne live happily ever after šŸ˜„

forest magnet
#

how did we kill mitron anyway, no blade of light or anything.

bitter cloud
#

Wait is Mitron... a SIMP? /s (gotta add the /s cuz I can't say that with a straigh face)

pine epoch
#

I mean, I guess you could say that @gloomy tide

forest magnet
#

yes

gloomy tide
#

He's one of those dumb Ascians that are just filler and are both introduced and die on the same patch lmaoooo.

elder lark
#

@forest magnet i think edens promise took in all of the aether in the empty when the transformation happened,and there was a fair bit of light too

bitter cloud
#

Introduced and die on the same raid tier lmao; that's gotta be a record

forest magnet
#

we didn't strike him down though

pine epoch
#

Well I can answer your question. Xuan. He probably lost his crystal of darkness in the fight with ardbert

gaunt star
#

his soul or whatever probably just burned out after we beat the shit out of Artemis and Gaia was split off

severe brook
#

us killing Eden's Promise is basically the mortal wound to Mitron/Artemis

pine epoch
#

So he didn't have his escape rope and went all in during the fight

severe brook
#

and i mean i'm okay as to Mitron being introduced and taken out so quickly because he's the answer to the question of what Eden is, so he's still connected into the plot itself

primal basalt
#

nah ultima was introduced in like ā€˜98

gaunt star
#

even if it was in the same patch he was atleast developed adequately, and had a mystery behind his identity at the start of the tier

severe brook
#

he'd be cheap if he was revealed to have somehow survived through a way completely unrelated to Eden and just was hijacking it anyway at the end

forest magnet
#

Mitron was introduced in 2006

severe brook
#

and they avoided that being the case

pine epoch
#

it also fits with what yoshida said. About this patch we would see another side of ascians. who became ascians against their will.

cinder spindle
#

did they release a new trial?

forest magnet
#

emerald weapon

pine epoch
#

^

primal basalt
#

pokemon emerald

cinder spindle
#

aside from emerald

dim sigil
#

Emerald ex

primal basalt
#

nah

random anvil
#

big boii unreal

cinder spindle
#

got em

dim sigil
#

eden is basiclly trials

severe brook
#

only one trial a patch, so only emerald

cinder spindle
#

i see

severe brook
#

but the 8-man raids are basically 4 trials a patch

gaunt star
#

the real raids are in bozja

random anvil
#

^

primal basalt
#

the true raid was the friends we made along the way

elder lark
#

i never looked it up but did they ever give a reason for going the "trial route" in stormblood instead of having a full raid with trash like coil and alex?

gaunt star
#

i long for the day ffxiv has a big proper raid and not just 4 boss fights every even patch on a perfectly symmetrical arena

forest magnet
#

so what would be a 'proper raid' for you then?

autumn heron
#

Cause the trash mobs were so weak they did nothing but elongate that raid

forest magnet
#

because lemme tell u fighting on twintania arena sucks

gaunt star
#

A large dungeon where you can choose what order to fight enemies in, or at the very least a big location that feels like an actual area and not a different background for your desktop

forest magnet
#

so an open dungeon then

gaunt star
#

Literally make what they did with Bozja's raid into a fully fledged thing

#

Usually referred to as a raid in literally any other mmo

#

FFXIV's raids are just trials but you get gear from them

pine epoch
#

Ya stormblood they wanted to speed up the process of raids as HW and ARR raids trash and a 1 hallway mini dungeon were not really interesting and offered nothing to the experience of the raid.

#

and most people who raid are only here for the big boss at the end

primal basalt
#

people only really care about the fights

gaunt star
#

Can only fight a boss on a circle arena suspended over a bottomless pit with a new flavour backdrop so often before it becomes stale

forest magnet
#

i couldn't care less about the arena as long as the fight is fun and engaging

severe brook
#

i mean the arena is part of the fight, so i understand Altani's argument

forest magnet
#

And circle arena has been a thing since literally the launch of the game, and if there's any indication to go by it hasn't gone stale

primal basalt
#

you’re complaining about a book because of the paper it was printed on

elder lark
#

@gaunt star the downside is,if they were to make the raid instances longer with trash,you'd go full circle again because people would get tired of the raids just as quick because they want to get to the bosses,and they dont wanna run that shit longer then nesscarly

gaunt star
#

And rather than put in stuff to make people care about the stuff preceding the boss they focused entirely on the bosses. Which is fair, the fights are fun. I don't mind how 14 does stuff. But by other standards the raids are only raids in name only. They are basically harder trials, and in Stormblood they were at their most boring which is why i became so disillusioned with the format

#

But like, even small walking sections preceding a fight can help with the feeling of the place. Why couldn't we get a small section preceding the Ramuh fight where we fight the Ixion adds in the thunder plains and get hints at the bosses mechanics?

pine epoch
#

I mean if you want the low hanging fruit. BLame the lore

forest magnet
#

i mean that's literally how 24 mans work

pine epoch
#

Omega and Eden were effectively tournament arcs.

lilac crest
#

just wait for the 48 man savage

forest magnet
#

Baldesion Arsenal

gaunt star
#

Why not have us fight through voidsent as we make our way to fight Voidwalker at the top of Eden? Have Voidwalker use her mechanics like stopping time and delaying stuff as we fight

elder lark
#

they never did that sort of thing for coil and alex,no way they would show u boss mechanics before u even get to the fights,ESPCALLY on savage when half of the mechanics are hidden till you hit HP thresholds

forest magnet
#

Which is a shame that they'll never do something like BA again because to even get in you had to grind ur brains out in Eureka

pine epoch
#

well DR is BA2

elder lark
#

^

lilac crest
#

there is BA2 for 5.45

forest magnet
#

Mettle is a lot easier to get than Elemental Level

lilac crest
#

fair point

pine epoch
#

Mettle means shit in Bozja. Except for being able to use more skills

loud pecan
#

so BA's worth was only bcs you had to follow fate train for 8 hours ?

late willow
#

No

#

BA was just an enjoyable dungeon

forest magnet
#

It made dying actually scary again

elder lark
#

@pine epoch technically mettle was part of the story as well,it was mainly for skills once u hit rank 10,but losing mettle was more of a hindranch before u hit those rank thresholds

maiden lodge
#

They stopped putting trash in dungeons in Savage in HW, except for Faust

loud pecan
#

I'm not fond of dying to lvl 20 crabs when I slained god-like creatures tbh 🤣

late willow
#

Mettle is a terrible replacement for EL

forest magnet
#

Mettle is an easier system

late willow
#

Only being able to get it from fates sucks

maiden lodge
#

EL was bad.

late willow
#

And dying doesn't mean anything

loud pecan
late willow
#

Eh

pine epoch
#

The compromise I have always been asking for. is, Normal mode have a hallway before the boss. and savage go straight to the boss. As honestly I am a sucker and QoL has made it so I dont think I'd stomach going back to the old way of Raids. Even tho my favorite "Content" Is BA, Eureka, Bozja, Dr. ect. and those have the raid aesthetic down.

late willow
#

EL was bad but on the right path

maiden lodge
#

EL made it that the prefered way to play was unrewarding -at all- for hours, and then you had the magia board being a steaming pile of unnecessary not-gameplay

late willow
#

They needed to make it easier to get while solo

viscid monolith
#

Mettle is great. Up yours, brit.

loud pecan
#

EL was too limited to fate train efficiency at some point (hi pagos and pyros) to be relevant. Anemos was fun. Hydatos was too.

grand parcel
#

I justf inished the new dungeon.

God help me the last boss better become a mount some day

late willow
forest magnet
viscid monolith
#

You weren't supoosed to fate train IN THE FIRST PLACE

late willow
#

Good

#

Please make people talk to each other in this MMO

elder lark
#

@late willow are u saying that dieing in bojza means nothing? its a hindranch if u hit those rank thresholds,imagine being close to a rank up but you end up getting the ass end of rank V's or dieing to CE's,that means longer you need to grind the mettle,i had those moments far too often in bojza the entire trip of 1-15

forest magnet
#

No, it was bad. People hogging good mob farming zones in Pagos sucked.

loud pecan
#

I never liked fate train, as much as I don't like hunt train, but hey, it's a scaling instance

forest magnet
#

The double dragon area was always taken.

viscid monolith
#

This game doesn't lend itself to talking. The gameplay is too busy.

loud pecan
#

Follow the mass or get behind

late willow
#

Dying means nothing when all you need is a single CE to get back on track

viscid monolith
#

The only reason Eureka was shitpost central was because there were 16 people spawning fates and 80 people leeching. Sitting on the sidelines and making bear puns.

#

And now there is no more leeching

elder lark
#

@loud pecan bojza has that problem as well,if u cant keep up with the pack you barely get fate exp,i mean at the upside theres plenty of fates,but thats the biggest draw back

tropic frigate
#

i hated eureka so much

pine epoch
#

Only problem I have with bozja is people are anti social the majority of people there

late willow
#

Now we have people sitting afk until Castrum spawns

viscid monolith
#

What pack? Just get a group and go.

pine epoch
#

unlike Eureka which was shout central always communicating

loud pecan
viscid monolith
#

No one does Castrums anymore.

forest magnet
#

at least i can finally do duels

late willow
#

Considering its required for all future Bozja content, thats not a good thing

viscid monolith
#

Do duels give job xp?

elder lark
#

@loud pecan i know,my point is if your lagging behind on a fate train running from fate to fate u wont be getting gold or silver for that fate

loud pecan
#

I really didn't like the fact that half of Eureka's map could OS you just bcs they could

forest magnet
#

nah but they give bragging rights :p

viscid monolith
#

I know Meara. They will regret it later.

late willow
random anvil
#

CEs and skirmishes giving coins was a mistake

late willow
#

Agreed

elder lark
#

castrum is what ends the bojza story for the southern front,it hasnt been confirmed yet rather u will need it to do the next part of the story,but if thats the case i think castrum will pick up again come .45

viscid monolith
#

Ya. I don't know why they didn't just buff coin drops from castrum. The devs are dumb sometimes.

loud pecan
#

you mean, don't go to the part of the map necessary to provide me not only the fate but also the components necessary to craft my relic, the first reason to do eureka ?

#

I mean, before we can buy them with crystals of course

late willow
#

Don't go to those parts while underlevelled

viscid monolith
#

You had to go thise parts Meara

random anvil
#

and "let's make all the relic crafters grind in HW zones so F2Pers have someone to play with" haha

late willow
#

They're not hard to get to

loud pecan
#

It's not about being underlevelled, it's about being locked lvl 40 when a lvl 45 dragon can OS you just to go to Louhi

viscid monolith
#

Because the train went to those parts

late willow
#

You just can't run straight there

viscid monolith
#

I am going to say this one more time

late willow
#

The dragons are fucking easy

#

Just walk

loud pecan
#

When you're lvl 20 in a cave with lvl 25 mobs to access Pazuzu

viscid monolith
#

Farming relic gems in Bozja has always been quicker than doing HW fates.
