I have 4 bangles now
aw
wait artemis is fertility? I thought artemis was hunting
trust me, it's better blind
I'm at the end of the Navel instance, did Eden's Promise and Safekeeping + Void Quests
lets gooo+
dw rommy, i spoiled myself on purpose cuz i have 0 resistance
artemis is hunting
and i can tell ya... it's great
Ssssort of, the Cult of Ephesus emphasized her as a fertility goddess, hence that design, but her domain is typically hunting and women
E12S 1st world clear has happened yet..?
@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
No.
the transition never happened yet either
Ah man, I wanna see the differences, guess i'll wait. Who usually clears first..east or west..?
turns out, E12S starts of with a mechanic avalance
compared to other tiers this tier looks like it's going pretty quickly. We should see transition on stream by tonight.
Korea..?
avalanche*

Nah, Korea are cheaters because they already have strats by the time they get the patch.
well, a team with a lot of Australians cleared TEA first
Well i'll watch it tomorrow as i'm about to go sleep.
and JP claimed E8S
Stal's group is OCE iirc, so yeah
Ah yes, they get updates later. I see, hope it goes well! š
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
The "chastity" and "virginal" aspects are fairly modern iirc
i love this punchable face
"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."
anyone got a good picture of eden's promise
like the arena
or the titty boss?
the boss
the booba busty boss?
boob boss
her autos chunk
This. and a lot of the stuff we know about greek gods is a little muddy bc we get a lot of info from the Romans who were eventually Christianized which meant a lot of myths were whitewashed and sanitized
on top of what the Romans changed about them
is there a new minion in the eden raids?
based atlus
--which is based on another many breasted statue of Diana/Artemis, but anyhow
This is also the censored design, btw, the original had nips
LUL
On each-- Anyhow,
SMT goes hard with its demon designs, always. Just like Nomura did with Promise
Gaia really do be like* ó š ó
Obviously
the fuck did you just write
My hands were one off the key, sorry. Lol
Grown Gaia is so pretty 
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
The void quests were probably my favorite of the patch
they aren't even done, yet
That and the tempering arc, but it felt that was solved way too easily
it was a long time in the making though
Yeah a goddess who made herself celibate is assigned to a guy who's perpetually horny.
It feels like theyāre setting a group of heroes up for a future expansion, similar to how heavenward set up shb
does anyone know where to get the housing poster with the elemental chart? ;w;
Oh, finally on to the tower business
why is that chart backwards btw?
Doing that e9 raid blindfolded wasnāt fun. So many people kept dying. Going to practice it
I hope itās not that far away though, would love an empire/13th expansion like we got ala mhigo/doma expansion in stormblood
so 6.0
it's not exactly "backwards," just the astral and umbral labels should be flipped
||The void quests hint at us maybe eventually reclaiming the 13th. But Garlemald is all but confirmed for 6.0 i feel.||
all else is accurate but where they're placed-- even then, it's still accurate for Eorzean Aetherology,
we may find out in 2 months where we're headed next
yo did ||lyse|| just fucking die?
void expansion isn't gonna happen any time soon
the place is a VOID
did you not look at it in the raid?
I hope so, miz.
lol nah. Some stumbling guy swinging a sword around is nothing.

i mean i hope not
They deserve a death off screen.
the guy probably tempered by lunar bahamut to kindle an all out war against Garlemald
presumably
I wonder if the towers are set up to be amplifiers
Still...
E11 boss felt right outta a fanfic.
is anyone watching the e12s prog? eden just shot a crotch laser lol
It's a primal based on cognition
like E3, E4, E5, E6, E8, E9 and E10
The last 4 floors of Eden felt like third wheel fanfic, unfortunately. Doesnāt really feel like they stuck the landing compared to how strong they started.
I partially agree.
I think it would've been better if they spread the elemental summons a bit more
Oh my god he does sound like Oliver Twist
A major problem with that was Shiva though. She absolutely deserved the last fight in her tier
Itās downhill from shiva for sure
E9? Okay
E10? Ehhh okay fine
E11? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
E12? IM SO FUCKING LOST AT THIS POINT
I like this tier's story the more I think about it
I feel like E10 was the oddball here
Like why is the boss ||ranjit-thancred-the sineater?||
I like some concepts, but thereās a lot they didnāt do with it all
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
does anyone know which zones you can see towers from?
That's the weirdest boss design
there's one in outer la noscea one in the lochs and one in yanxia, not sure if there's any more.
Unu used a spirit vessel to meet Cylva in the First. He and Taynor opened voidgates to let a porxie in to scout the 13th. They plan to save the void much like the Empty
Cool, thanks for that
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.
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 
Shouldāve just summoned a vision of a world without coffee biscuits.
None would survive, especially since thatās a cornerstone of their personality.
more like a world where they have 5 times as many calories
Hencee the boss' full title of ||Dread Hope: Fatebreaker, all of which combined parts of what both men meant to her||

E10 is just odd
I mean it still feels right outta a fanfic.
For it to be an amalgamation of all of them
like...why
New dungeon I enjoy the fact that its not brain dead like heroes gauntlet. I needed to use a whole brain cell
should i get Exarch armor now or not?
yes
...his armor?
At least the ||clyvia/shadowkeeper fight|| Had relevance storywise.
E10 is a good boy, and donāt you dare say otherwise
||It was just her fears
Thancred's extreme possessiveness was a fear||
But why specifically ||ranjitcred the sin eater||?
Like they coulda just done one...
||Because Thancred and Ranjit's protectiveness, Sin Eaters in general, and light||
He said it was composed of her hopes too. So Thancred isn't out of place
They were just making explicit the similar themes between them
||Because both men were like a father to her and represent near same feelings in her subsconscious||
Just starting 5.4 and Gāraha going full fanboy every time he meets another scion is so great.
||It's also not like. Again. Thancred's relationship with Ryne is deeply uncomfortable for most of 5.0.||
hence why I'mma call E11 "father figure issues EX"
Or just left it off at half of the... extra stuff
IDK, I liked it; it all fit for me.
Maybe graha can push lyse down the stairs and take over the ala mhigo arc. The story would improve.
Daddy issues the Savage fight
It's probably my favourite of the four fights, aesthetically and thematically. I'm most disappointed with E9.
Yeah, E10 and E11 both fit along Promise just don't fit side by side, but incredibly neat fights nonetheless
AFAIK the highest ranked team that is streaming rn is say mcdonalds to skip cutscenes TPS + Entropy aren't streaming
A large part of Ryne's personal arc was daddy issues so it fits
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.
// griping
Like 9 and 12 fit
But 10 and 11 fit
But 9 10 11 and 12 don't really fit as a whole
A big theme of the patch, in both void and Eden, is āhey, remember wod is a thing?ā
10, 11 and 12 fit perfectly well together. They all have to do with memory. 9 is the only one that doesn't fit.
Mitron was too ominous and vague for how Ardbert's confrontation with the Shadowkeeper was signfiicant to him ||and Loghrif||, I feel
Fking. GA BU. OMFG IM SO GLAD HES BACK

^My boy is good again
||"THIS WILL STIR YOUR MEMORIES," cool bruh what is kicking a dog suppose to do for her||
š This is why Alisaie is my wife
I also love the undogeable mechanics in E12
||the feels||
also how does that make sense if Shadowkeeper was Loghrif + Mitron when it was Cylva???
Part of me hopes the cure turns out to be a horrible curse later on.
Dude Alisae's 16
Stop
Yeah, I left E10 unclear who exactly was the keeper
Hm?
|| They saw the battle so he thought recreating the event would stir her memories||
Shes a fictional character mate
The dialogue does imply ||Cylva, it's a lot of notions she told us||
Yeah, a 16-year-old fictional character
who is ||cylva?||
Do your role quests
Im 17
||the shadowkeeper in role quest||
oh, which one was she? I did it like 2 years ago and forgot everyone lol
|| bar maid at the crystarium||
||you have to do all 5 role jobs.||
and ik i was joking
that said, did appreciate how on its own, E10 doesn't spoil who the Keeper was
2nd emerald phase 
Emerald was pretty bamf
Clyvia is basically ||the big bad behind the scenes who betrayed Ardbert and co||
||Who was influenced by the ascians to do the bad||
That wasnt for you that was for stone getting his panties in a twist over a fictional character
fictional minors are still minors, but anyhow
||Also... the ascian calling us out for knowing Clyvia's name? Sick||
Nice, checkpoint
||Yessss best hidden dialogue option this patch||
||for you to know that name..||
I did Safekeeping the very first thing I logged on, ||and I teared up as Cylva realized that after everything, Team Ardbert still considered her a friend
||
Glass, Cylva has Eden dialogue
OH RIGHT
go check it
AHHH I'M ALMOST DONE WITH MSQ
Everyone dies pash. Theyāve canceled 6.0.
zenos really was the final fantasy xiv all along
Bruh
I guess it's time for Final World of War-Fantasy: Shadowbringerslands
God the dialouge choices in this patch are wonderful
Forget WoW. Go talk to Cylva
Why tf do I need 485 on my weapon levels, for ||Emerald weapon and Eden||
Zenos finally gets his juicy pants
Nah was a follow-up to "Everyone's dead, 6.0 cancelled"
Because you're lazy. Get better equips
"HAVE YOU NO SENSE MAN" Me: NOPE DO MAGICK ITS FINE
like welp time for an Farplanes expac 
|| Horny ascian just sad ||
Beqq Lug in 5.3 : O mighty warriors. I wish thee farewell and good luck in your forthcoming battles.
Beqq Lug in 5.4 : WHAT THE FUCK!?
Re: Mitron simpin: ||I got the worried vibe that relationship was one-sided but Loghrif seemed pretty genuine with him
||

||Esp with her last remnants, as she called him Artemis.....
||
Can't we just summon a void gate atop the tower?
THE TOWER IS NO TOY
|| All the convocation members had their own little groups and they were so wholesome||
We don't know exactly what the deal between Elidibus, Igeyorhm and Lahabrea was though
|| youd think dating is forbidden between convocation members ||
Fandom obsession with Igelaha ended, now Mitghrif is the OTP
they were close with eachother
you aren't surviving the raid wides without it lol thats why
Makes sence I guess
Iggy and Laha were probably the closest to elidibus going off the cutscene of rains
My favorite part is when emet came back to the source using one of the spares in his clone storage and mocked zenos
The rains have ceased and we have been graced with another beautiful day, 
But you are not here to see it QuQ
Lahabrea on the poster was red herring, sorta. lol
iirc the ||Ascian Prime|| had a unique mask, along with its glyph
This new dudeās motive is āI wanna kill myself, but I also wanna kill everyone elseā š
the glyph is a combination of the two
so we could extrapolate ||Lohgrif's|| from it?
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)||
we see loghrif's when he raises her
yea
but the other half was deffo some weird three prong thing
But there's a cutscene where Gaia has her mask
Yeah, how did you miss this?
I, did not see her mask, just her glyph
Oh you meant her mask.
oh the...
the ultimate prog stop
oof
Yeah I deffo noticed the slice of Belias' glyph in it,
Hit so hard they were kicked from the server
it's looks like rose vines, but I know it's his lion's mane
Best bet to possibly see the full mask is to look at hades's wings
Also so we all can say now that all the convocation probably had greek names yes yes?
Only the theme due to datamining
I just got told the name of the music for p2, but idk what that means xD
Well, mind, the Seats that became the Ascians we know were the last Seat-holders before the Final Days, but yeah so far they al ltrack
We got a model too iirc
ooooo model?
Hythlodaeus was still almost the Seat of Emet-Selch 
Declining isn't exactly the same as almost being
omg ty!
Those sleeves can fit so many coffee biscuits
Now THAT is a Nomura design, ||is her halo made of bones||
Not enough zippers for a true nomura design
or || egg saccs now i guess ||
nah nomura is all for plaid these days
E10 was confusing. First the behemoth is pointing towards his shadow and then he isnāt. Died twice and Iām still confused by it
it's a mirror

What about the elemental circles with daddy 11?
I'mma give the shadowkeeper they for peeps not through role quests,
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
It's whatever the dragon has before the rings appear
Before the circles appear, he's channeling either thunder or fire-- like the Burnt Strike tells. That color will be an expanded aoe
so the opposite of the dragons element would be safe
Not safe, still needa be between 'em, but they're just within the circles
I see. Our party brute forced that one
hmm i never looked at the dragon but the middle circle, but the same applies
All the circles give an aoe, the expanded ones are based on the dragon he sends up
@subtle pasture yeah i meant safe as in the side that didnt blow up in a large cicle,the expanded ones
oh god,that bitch took 3 damn near 4 tries and i was still getting hit by that
mostly bc people are bad at waiting a late designating safe spot--
@torpid yoke thanks
Now I can do this fight better next time.
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
I mustāve lucked out on cloud lady; didnāt seem too confusing
did we find out how we get the cerebus mount?
whats the implication of them talking about amalj'aa being abducted?
Speaking of chaos, did anyone elseās party have a lolidk moment with the tethered balls in the new dungeon?
Personally no, but I lucked out.
havent done that yet personally though i belive i almost got that dungeon unlocked,just did the ga bu cinematic
I canāt decide if itās my favorite dungeon or if I havenāt run it enough to hate it
@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
...I just realized the title for Omega BLU could be "Blue Screen of Death"
and rip if it is not.
Cerb isn't Eden, it's not on the reward table for e12s in garlondtools
Theyāll make so much bank (and likely cause a riot) if that Cerberus is a mog station pre-patch
@next quarry how reliable is garlondtools
Very
where else would you put the eden mount
Cerb isn't listed as an item at all in 5.4
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
and by eden mount i mean literally eden
So, any theories about the puppet bunker quest?
It's going to be typical YOKO TARO fair
havent done it yet
this MSQ is 70% politics in an aetherial guise and I realize how much I actually missed this
the pit master says they were both found in the mines, implying they're both androids/machine lifeforms
@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
Yea
Yeah, it felt like 2.0 going back to beastmen politics and I didnāt regret it
it felt more interesting than fanny and zenos
I loved the lominsan stuff
since we're actually solving a problem that's plagued eorzea for a long time
It was satisfying
lominsan stuff is nice because limsa has the longest and most tense history with beast tribes
i think each of Merlwyb's speeches made me tear up,
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
bc it's just, so... 
5.4 made me love merlwyb
oh ||Ga Bu|| was instant tears of joy, I saw it coming and I have no idea why it hit me so hard 
Notably, remember the emperorās retort to merle at the end of stormblood? The limsa arc of 5.4 specially addressed what made her hypocritical. Maybe weāll see the other city states go through similar arcs.
I was thinking that Varis's words really made her think
tbh with the knowledge we had at the time we just knew that the kobolds broke the treaty. 5.4 expanded upon t hat
@gaunt star if they do,it'll porobbly be in .5, unless thats going to be a next expansion arc
It'll probably grow on fanny and lunar a bit more, and zenos new weapon
And then zenos became a white mage
no he becomes a red mage
VerZenos
I honestly wonder what's gonna be his next weapon
lol if anything zenos will be the dark knight to our warrior of light š
I feel stupid right now
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
inb4 it's mogstation
that'll make me do blu raiding
new question: where hairstyles?
(and by one i mean hours of prog probably lol)
The Extreme is from E12S yes
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 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
Makes sense
Because G'raha is the new player insert/main character
WASSOI EMOTE
Won't need to make a new tank trust if G'raha can do it all 
...when Y'shtola should be DPS/healer and Thancred DPS/tank but here we are
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
yes pls, woulda fit fucking perfect š
the last time they changed dungeon boss themes mid expansion was 3.4
...yes, revenge twofold
Who are the Telophoroi?
I wasnt expecting them to do it again really
my mind always jumps to the patch name
Fanny made a new name for themselves with lunar Bahamut
ryne and gaia just seem to be the duo of bad ideas
A group name so we don't have the hear ascian as much
The fuck did I just fight in e11
Hold up. Summoning a primal of pure darkness was a good idea to help the Empty
telo = end, phoroi = bringers? so he's literally named his group like. apocalypsebringers/endbringers

no one could've known Mitron was Eden
Oohh nice
Are there any most Eden quests after, "Where I Belong" at all?
yes and no one could've known ryne would lose control after saying she wouldn't lose control
Ye i had to google a bunch reo i wondered too. we have no deets on them tho. brand new thing, first time said
that's a different situation, one everyone agrees on
So there is...or there isn't....
I promise, I won't lose control. - Girl, who lost control
just trying to make sure I did all the quests for it after finishing the normal raid
tbf there was no real way she could have know how strong the effect would be
e11 was interesting, a culmination of Ryne's memories piled into one
Is it normal for garlondtools to list Korean glamours
Thancred, Ranjit & the sin eaters
The school stuff is listed on it
Oh
Alphi hair seems to come with his mogstation outfit of his new clothes?
There's a new mount on the market board,does anyone know how we get it? edit-lmao im dumb I meant mb
Construct VI-S Core
It's from faux hallows
....cant remember loooojk
Someone has ones on the mb for 40mil, no idea what it even looks like
Oh
600 leaves
Well, that new Nier patch is very..... Nier... š¦ Rather story quest thing.
So garbage
gonna drive us crazy thinking about these, for all the months til 5.5
It'll take 7.5 weeks to get it, if you start from 0 and get very unlucky
can we go to the thirteenth anytime?
Right okay thank you! I only just started doing unreal and its now changed so maybe one day I haven't even got the normal kobold construct
yes just do WoD Kappa
Rex... 
So how many towers are there on the map? i saw one in the south shroud but i haven't checked elsewhere
~3-4 iirc?
as far as Yanxia
Which means who knows how many in Ilsabard between 'em,
i mean towers that you can see in-game
So much for fifth astral stuff 
They seem to temper people to praise garlemald
--O, right.

they look garlea....BINCH LIES THAT SHIT LOOK VOIDISH >:/
why was lahabrea in the patch artwork? is there some mystery machinations going on thats not explicitly stated?
Yoshi p Mcguffin towers
To hint at ascians in eden story
--Severa has the eye as a halfblood.
Oh the next Valentine's event is already on garlondtools
What. 
oh?
or maybe it is jewelry, would explain why it's black
further proof the eye ismt a seal QuQ
i feel like im playing through the arr msq again in this patch and i want to end my life this pirate quest is so awful š¢
Continue it, it gets great
oh really?? thats good to hear aaa
@next quarry what is it? mobile doesn't play nice with that site cuz my phone is so old
oh that's...neat i guess?
Joonbob already putting out unreal diagrams
anyone?
||Milisandiaaaaa||
Where I belong is the last one yes
catching up on the new edents, i can't believe ||IT'S FUCKING ASCIANS AGAIN||. like. COME ON.
4 A's of XIV 
Well yea there are a lot more sundered ascians than unsundered
you cant take a dump without an ascian crawling out the toilet nowadays >:(
Ok ok I'm gonna say it, e12 theme is the best in the game
i got the emerald crosss i think 
only thing is that most of them are killed off screen
It's almost lile Ascians are....important? Who would've thought
the whole plot since 2.0 has been based around them yea
wonder why
Until Zodiark is dealt with they will always be a problem
It's not like they're a major plot point
its getting to be an utter non-twist at this point
oh wow another ascian that we thought was dead
- I NEED THE YORHA TWINS HAIRS 2. The ascians are the reason why the first even had a flood so makes sense
This is the first time this has happened
it is actually the first time
did 5.4 get a new dungeon boss theme?
No
fuck
raid was gay rights
the dungeon music is really neat though
and then it stopped being gay rights
and then it was gay rights again
and then it stopped
Insatiable is good and all...but I can't count the amount of times I've heard it on 1000 hands
good thing is e12 music is fucking giga dope
the crystal is pretty gay rights
It's all bi rights 
bi rights is based
Yeah e12 music is giga dope as shit
e12 music is boring, i was expecting something better
I feel like people who thought this way have never been friends with girls before, girls hold hands casually all the time
ok buddy, the trash is right there with your opinion
What if we kissed... infront of the pride crystal... š š
Pride Rock
bro who cares
dude can you chill for a moment and take the stick out of your arse or smth you're just being an asshole for no reason
it's no rise or eScape or even return to oblivion š
And man these cutscenes, still with the incredibly detailed animations. Esp the end of Emerald
I think I'm a bit late to realize this but just realize Eden raid is basically Genesis
I don't really like E12 music as much as O11 or From the Heavens
yeah, i think it's a good song but it doesn't have the impact of past raid stuff
starts from the Empty, 6 Elements (6 days god created the world)
There is nothing but peak sapphic energy when their reunion does that
E12 is my favorite track in the game
Garden of Eden
I wonder what e12s music is like but i refuse to look it up
fellas you ever hold hands so strnogly it makes a garden in half a second
I like E12 track but I get why some people were upset
not being an asshole, just being sarcastic, but the stick up my ass is pretty comfy ngl
We know what it is, but it'll probably pop up anyway
it sounded glorious rather than epic, intense battle
go move it a bit maybe you'll feel better

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
e12 being super uplifting felt good
bold of you to say that, I'm on the treadmill rn
the whiplash was when it suddenly started being sad though
E12 intermission music is great
I like how the memories are broken anyhow, but we gotta keep some fragment standing
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

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?
So you mean e4s?
also Limsa is now up there with Ishgard
Like Aymeric, Merlywb is actually trying to fix Limsa's problems
tfw the twins hair style isnt available to get yet QuQ
now its only Gridania and Ul'Dah that are still shitholes
Anyone else get small ff12 vibes from e12 theme
@torpid yoke it's probably comes with the Alphi set that's coming to Mogstation soon
A new Alphi one-piece 
Ulādah can be fixed, but the only way to salvage Gridania is to purge the shroud with fire
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 š lol
Fellas is it gay to call out to your friend under the pride crystal while rainbow coloured flower petals flow around you š³
This FF8 music is wack
E9?
Yes
It's alright
i meant the yorha twins
Ohhh
I want Adam and Eve yorha glamour
i haven't seen their hairstyles, anyone have a picture?
speaking of yorha twins. They remind me of Ro-shi and Ko-shi
I haven't done that quest yet, did they take off their helms?
ye
I feel like e12s is gonna be a treat in savage
they adorable
E11 is the best normal fight
They give us 3x draws at once
imo
I like all the fights tbh, cloud was a bit boring tho
@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
Valens is the worst human being in garlemald
We've known this since last patch
oh hey, ||Artemis|| is kinda similer to Ultimecia
Well itās more amplified now
valens,thats the legatus of the weapon storyline right? i mean hes usuing orphans to pilot machines designed to kill them
In a way, Mitron's goal was similiar to Ultimecia's
how so?
hi ! someone has animation or pictures of 2nd part of E12S?
@thorn linden no one has seen a phase transition yet of any sort
Dude, no one's even been to a phase transition
The japanese: ||Arutimisu vs Arutimishia||
We just got this image, take it with a grain of salt @thorn linden
Oh k, ty š
@next quarry that a legit picture?
Its been posted in a lot of places, and by data miners
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
judging my garlond tools, the mount seems to be Eden
mhm
Oh no, once again an ugly ass mount
Why couldn't it have been the wolf
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
i want to mount daddy thanjit after daddy ramuh
We already have 4 wolf mounts from the SB extreme trials
but none of those are the shadowkeeper
Oh damn ur right
7 for each trial and kamuy
@autumn heron the shadowkeeper model isnt a typical model though
anyone got the picture for the hairs?
so whats hair from ?
Alphi hair is probably from his new mogstation attire, other hair is probably from ishgard
was thinking that
Thats wack if it does
Idk
Why do people insist using mounts other than fat cat? Itās bis
he go mrrow
Wheres ultimecia
Ffviii is NOT- ok nvm maybe it is, i dont like the draw ststem
||i knew it, the song playing in the background during the scene with Mitron in Edens Core was from 1.0 Mor Dhona||
I'm going to have to re-watch all of those the cutscene since I was in vc with it
Another track from Before Meteor here, good to see so many tracks that have been left behind being recycled in the last couple of patches. Spoopy.

sure is dark
and yet this was the actual 1.0 song
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 
anyone have pics of the emerald weapons?
i doubt they will do anything drastic with the old maps
where can I get the new housing items idk the names
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
they're not changing the zones
it would take forever to remap where npc quests are, gathering nodes, fishing areas, etc.
Thought. We've yeeted so many blades of lights into Ascians and, well, we could have accidentally a sin eater...
also they literally just added flying to these maps. If they were gonna revamp the areas in an expac why would they do that
The future is trolleys
always was
the first was already inbalanced so doubt it
Titan is just as scary as I remember
As it was when we did it to Emet
i have cross ptsd now
we saw hades as a shade in SoS and we used white auricite as well as a blade of light
What about it
So how rough are the new Eden raid savages?
they seem to be fairly rough so far
only did e9s but e9s was already p challenging for a first floor fight
Not even hit any sort of intermission, though mechanics from the normal intermission are showing up on the fight proper.
pf is gonna implode from 9s alone
E11S needs some form of communication because it has a mist dragon-esque mechanic
so the ascian in 5.4 patchart: that was mitron?
that mech is actually easily solved and its very funny
oh? how
assign positions, have everyone who sees a clone jump and go to the person who didnt jump lmao
I was sorta right about ||a half-half mask|| 
nah it was lahabrea
huge brain unironically
Yeah, though that was mostly known already
Any e12s transition screenshot?
wasnt there someone wondering where to get the amaro minion?
No wait I was calling it an Eden amalgamation of Laha and Eli, well still halfway there
also did not expect the Ascian storyline of all things, even though it was probably glaring at me
We've known this since 5.1 tbf
By design. Thatās how it was built
Probably even earlier
oh shit baby amaro from fate farming huh
Well yeah i knew but like...literally destroying itself now
To the point where some parts of it are in rubble
emet did say garlemald wasn't meant to last, so.. intended outcome?
Very much intended
Garlemald was supposed to fall during the calamity
^ Emet after Garlemald didn't fall.
Itās safe to say everything emet ever did, including die, was intended
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
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
and casters are crying
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
Sam might be fun this tier
Didnāt seem to be all that much time where uptime was a nono, at least in normal
@shell merlin you on aether and down for maps
@nocturne void I been running maps all day and I am fucking tired of it LMAO
I have gotten 0 FUCKIGN MATERIALS
while others have gotten the 2mil emote (current pricing)
or the 3mil calf leather
and 0 5th floors
Well given ima be runnign MORE maps in a group later aka in 10 mins
yes
kk
i'm assuming the Zonureskin maps give you access to the new map dungeon
yeah, the roulette thing like in gazelleskin maps
What does Emerald Weap ex drop?
i515 weapons + green dragon and totems to buy those with
when does it ever
Merlwyb's speech

im sure it'll be just like shiva unreal, give it a few weeks and PF will be clearing consistently without much friction
Please kill me fam, I bought that stupid 510 crafter weap.
whenever Merlwyb speaks

Between Fandaniel and Valens I think we've got more than enough villains that are both super evil and super wacky
emerald clear, finally
both are kinda cringe tbh
Fandaniel is cringe, Valens is just cruel lol
Fandaniel sounds like he just watched the Joker movie.
Fandanny is hamming it up too much
@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
It's not the writing just the performance
^
so a friend of mine reminded me
I can't believe we went from Emet to Fandaniel and Valens. The story going forward just goes downward.
oh magnolia released a vid of e12
when ShB first came out they did say Eden would EVENTUALLY be required MSQ
Nah I like Valens. He's the perfect epitomie of simple, hateable yet well done villain
so if anyone doesn't want to see it then watch out for that channel i suppose
Just to double check, the eden questline just ends after talking about the party in cryst saving that for 5.5 right?
Did you forget that Shadowbringers had big baby Vauthry?
Also Valens is side content
Side content is becoming MSQ
@rancid turtle if you've done the questline that ends at morg soug talking to the expedition npc that is the end of it"
like with CT
Warning: His Highness is exhibiting high blood pressure
yeah okay, seems quite abrupt spot.
That's one example
Woah now that's a face reveal I didn't expect. Rhitahtyn sas Arvina.
I hope void quests become msq. I loved the void quests.
i can't believe graha tia has atherosclerosis
And like I said earlier they did say Eden was going to be MSQ eventually
Livia still a total bitch, tho.
I wanted Koji-Fox to make a joke about "if your high blood pressure lasts longer than 4 hours please seek immediate medical attention"
the cat ate too much salty fish lmap
I mean pretty much anything dealing with a proper named Ascian or two is MSQ as MSQ can be right?
Eureka, Emmeroloth
Yup or the Allagans
You forget about him just cuz of how good Emet is.
Vauthry was great tho
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
His point was that we're getting simple villains, when Vauthry was as simple as they come. So is Valens.
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
Fandaniel's Telephone gang is gonna be interesting
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
Can someone post that thing again that shows the drops in each normal Eden?
Yea the main thing is that we barely know anything about Fandaniel yet
god e12 was so cool
how strong was lunar bahamut again?
@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
So I think youre judging way too early
in DBZ, people love Cell saga and Cell is literally so simple too
Zenos is totally going to backstab Fandaniel right?
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
After 5.4 I am almost certain Zenos will be the final fight in 5.55
can u actually go back into the RM
even alisaie says the dragon let us off lightly if u talk to her after,we arent meant to fight it...yet
Or does it have a giant hole in it and can't take nice screenshots there anymore.
Crazy we still haven't seen the transition for e12s
so you're saying Gundam time
oh my.
Groups are struggling on lion rampart
@uncut tide i mean stals group has been working on e12 all evening,and we dont know who off stream has gotten far,we could be seeing a video of a transition in the next day or 2
godlike track
Nah this will be cleared in a day or two.
There is 100% a second phase because we've seen the orchestrion roll
@uncut tide is there another fucking rampart
we're already getting zenos diamond weapon in 5.5
if it's like o12s and we can skip the first bit then that's great
watch it have nothing to do with FF8 š¦
Calling it Lion Rampart is silly. It's just tricky positioning and baiting.
are ppl judging characters before they fleshed out again?
Lion rampart just sounds hilarious
i feel like the scene we had of the VIIth experimenting with Zenos Oversoul was to show they'd be going with a different one in practice, considering how badly it went
im judging the fucker valens
The only Eden raid that actually had FF8 in it was E1. The rest has been its own thing
i want to punch the shit out of valens
FF8 gets shafted again
Good, FF8 sucks dick
such a punchable face
Valens is like the most outwardly racist person we've seen in XIV
yes
Hello sorry to bother, but is their new glamor related items that can be unlocked? Also saw a picture of new hairstyles, are they for future updates?
we had a little bit more of FF8 stuff, ||E11 has Legendary Beast as the theme and could be described as "A Griever," and E12 has horns resembling Ultimecia's in addition to some other stuff.||
like, can we all agree, that we can legally punch him to death?
we don't know where hairstyles are from. Glamour items come from new treasure maps
Zenis oversoul is gonna be Sephorth, katana and the last au ra has white hair
Fuck Valens. Me and all my homies hate Valens.
Ah I see, thank you very much o/
Zenis 
When are we gonna shove our darkness into valens's mouth?
him first
"Whatever you did to Allie I'll do to you"
he hopefully will be forced to oversoul or somthing
what's the name of the second orchestrion roll?
where do we get the elemental wheel furnishing item? ;;
The Extreme
now this is a quiet a sight
||The last weapon is diamond. Oversoul is Zenos who wields a katana. Alfonse has white hair. š ||
oh good
i wonder how does this tier savage wise compare to previous tier?
Estuans interius, ira vehementi
see, this line is what i think will get Valens in the end
doesn't have to be Alfonse in the cockpit at that moment, does it?
it do
i mean that they might be able to trick Valens into it somehow, and that could be the way he's taken out
idk why but valens remind me so much of kamoshida
Valens is totally going to get killed in a cutscene by Gaius
he does@cinder spindle
yeh most likely
Stal's group got to P1 enrage
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.||
would be funnier if zenos comes in then kills valens
so where does the first trailer song play
my guess is it's the Delubrum Reginae theme, that's what i figured before the patch dropped and it seems apparent now
the towers brainwashing people to praise garlemald is strange
^
5.3 trailer the first song was Bozja theme. so 5.4 trailer first song being DR could also be possible
also, an interesting point about the final Eden fight on the subreddit:
||https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/k9fz4p/spoiler_54_archeological_spoilers_for_edens/gf3yv1e/||
i can't wait until DR music releases tbvh, big fan of how ominous it sounds
baited by transations again
Is it just me or || do Cid and Aymeric sound different||
Cid definitely sounds a lot gruffer
i noticed Cid
far from the first to say that i heard they all sound off
New voice directing i'm guessing
the main theory ishome recording and bad mics
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
ah... that's unfortunate, hoping it's not new VA's
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
nooo :< that's sad
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
What? That's the first I've heard of this, I thought it was just the Yugiri VA
@half arch Shit. RIP Matoya('s voice actor)
RIP granny matoya
matyoas va felt so wholesome
I was looking forward to visiting her again too :<<<
Sheila Steafel, passed away august 23, 2019.
so a new one makes sense
Wasnt he in StB?
lived to be age 84
where's the T coming from
raids arenāt voiced (except when itās eden)
i... only remember cid praetorium
So lemme get this straight
are yall ready for the Zenos oversoul?
https://i.redd.it/o1jppb6f1wh31.png
Broke: Sephiroth
Woke: Weiss the Immaculate
Gaia has an obsessive ex-boyfriend who won't leave her alone even though she's in a new relationship with Ryne
@gloomy tide technically we kill said ex boyfriend in the end,so her and ryne live happily ever after š
how did we kill mitron anyway, no blade of light or anything.
Wait is Mitron... a SIMP? /s (gotta add the /s cuz I can't say that with a straigh face)
I mean, I guess you could say that @gloomy tide
yes
He's one of those dumb Ascians that are just filler and are both introduced and die on the same patch lmaoooo.
@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
Introduced and die on the same raid tier lmao; that's gotta be a record
we didn't strike him down though
Well I can answer your question. Xuan. He probably lost his crystal of darkness in the fight with ardbert
his soul or whatever probably just burned out after we beat the shit out of Artemis and Gaia was split off
us killing Eden's Promise is basically the mortal wound to Mitron/Artemis
Ultima High Seraph
So he didn't have his escape rope and went all in during the fight
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
nah ultima was introduced in like ā98
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
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
Mitron was introduced in 2006
and they avoided that being the case
it also fits with what yoshida said. About this patch we would see another side of ascians. who became ascians against their will.
did they release a new trial?
emerald weapon
^
pokemon emerald
aside from emerald
Emerald ex
nah
big boii unreal
got em
eden is basiclly trials
only one trial a patch, so only emerald
i see
but the 8-man raids are basically 4 trials a patch
the real raids are in bozja
^
the true raid was the friends we made along the way
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?
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
so what would be a 'proper raid' for you then?
Cause the trash mobs were so weak they did nothing but elongate that raid
because lemme tell u fighting on twintania arena sucks
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
so an open dungeon then
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
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
people only really care about the fights
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
i couldn't care less about the arena as long as the fight is fun and engaging
i mean the arena is part of the fight, so i understand Altani's argument
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
youāre complaining about a book because of the paper it was printed on
@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
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?
I mean if you want the low hanging fruit. BLame the lore
i mean that's literally how 24 mans work
Omega and Eden were effectively tournament arcs.
just wait for the 48 man savage
Baldesion Arsenal
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
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
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
well DR is BA2
^
there is BA2 for 5.45
Mettle is a lot easier to get than Elemental Level
fair point
Mettle means shit in Bozja. Except for being able to use more skills
so BA's worth was only bcs you had to follow fate train for 8 hours ?
It made dying actually scary again
@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
They stopped putting trash in dungeons in Savage in HW, except for Faust
I'm not fond of dying to lvl 20 crabs when I slained god-like creatures tbh š¤£
Mettle is a terrible replacement for EL
Mettle is an easier system
Only being able to get it from fates sucks
EL was bad.
And dying doesn't mean anything
EL was bad, Mettle is easy
Eh
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.
EL was bad but on the right path
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
They needed to make it easier to get while solo
Mettle is great. Up yours, brit.
EL was too limited to fate train efficiency at some point (hi pagos and pyros) to be relevant. Anemos was fun. Hydatos was too.
I justf inished the new dungeon.
God help me the last boss better become a mount some day

dying in eureka was terrible, from a gameplay standpoint, since u had to go and beg for someone to run halfway across the map to raise you.
You weren't supoosed to fate train IN THE FIRST PLACE
@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
No, it was bad. People hogging good mob farming zones in Pagos sucked.
I never liked fate train, as much as I don't like hunt train, but hey, it's a scaling instance
The double dragon area was always taken.
This game doesn't lend itself to talking. The gameplay is too busy.
Follow the mass or get behind
Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying
Dying means nothing when all you need is a single CE to get back on track
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
@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
i hated eureka so much
Only problem I have with bozja is people are anti social the majority of people there
Now we have people sitting afk until Castrum spawns
What pack? Just get a group and go.
unlike Eureka which was shout central always communicating
you don't actually have to be parties of eight to farm mob for fate to spawn
No one does Castrums anymore.
at least i can finally do duels
Considering its required for all future Bozja content, thats not a good thing
Do duels give job xp?
@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
I really didn't like the fact that half of Eureka's map could OS you just bcs they could
nah but they give bragging rights :p
I know Meara. They will regret it later.
Just don't go to those parts of the map
CEs and skirmishes giving coins was a mistake
Agreed
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
Ya. I don't know why they didn't just buff coin drops from castrum. The devs are dumb sometimes.
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
Don't go to those parts while underlevelled
You had to go thise parts Meara
and "let's make all the relic crafters grind in HW zones so F2Pers have someone to play with" 
They're not hard to get to
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
Because the train went to those parts
You just can't run straight there
I am going to say this one more time
When you're lvl 20 in a cave with lvl 25 mobs to access Pazuzu
Farming relic gems in Bozja has always been quicker than doing HW fates.
