they have some magic but are built more around martial combat
The director's last name is Temple
I see
personally i do now think Reaper is more likely than Templar
going by the second shirt
Like when people say 'Spellblade' Temple Knight's been a way to actualize that in game
As for 'Reaper'
though it also could be named Templar but still have grim reaper imagery
Did anyone figure out why yoshiP mentioned sorcerer when announcing the classes or is that just japanese word sounding english
not a final fantasy job
they've expressed interest in a job original to XIV in the past
doesn't exist in the canon, kinda hard to say it's a job reference to a job that doesn't exist
Still doesn't change that it's people making up a name and calling it a job an then saying 'this is it this is the job'
arguably it'd be referencing XI's Dark Knight as well
Which part was this? Do you have a time stamp
in terms of wielding dark magic and a scythe
He didn't.
so it'd have some basis in terms of ability
People heard english that's not there.
it's just that the name Dark Knight has already been used for something else
Fair enough
If, god forbid, it is "Reaper" (i strongly oppose this theory)
Ah. It’s like when I hear random Japanese words while listening to English
Who cant wait for the fucking weebs and shitters to make macros
that yell "DIE DIE DIE" when they LB
I think reaper is bad mainly because how the fuck do you make it a three letter shorthand
glorious return of the Seven Kill Stele
God i saw a macro the other day that was so fucking pointless
rpr is primed for some... balmung jookes
If it's reaper I'm gonna flex on ppl with my sice glam
'Samurai should be reworked because Doom of the Living is obviously a Reaper action'
RPR
REA
A popular account of his life has it that he erected in Chengdu a stele, which came to be known as the Seven Kill Stele (七殺碑), with the following inscription:[25][26][27]
天生萬物以養人
人無一善以報天
殺殺殺殺殺殺殺
Heaven brings forth innumerable things to nurture man.
Man has nothing good with which to recompense Heaven.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
REP
I wore a Templar armor set once.
Any other acronym is either sus as fuck or stupid
have no idea how it would fit into dps
GNB should've been GUN
Templars were in service to royalty they were in service to the church this is why they were the elite fighting force during the holy Crusade
its fucking weird to wear lol
They were also known as poor fellow Soldiers of Christ
Contrast with palace knights--paladins.
Gunner would be GNR probably
Since Sage is Nu Gundam, “Reaper” might as well be Zeta Gundam (powering up via souls of the dead)
paladins aren't called that because of the word palace knight
Yes, they actually are.
they're called that because of the Palatine Hill in Rome
@maiden lodge I meant they weren't in service to royalty
wait
souls of the dead
Ima have to stop you there

well okay but the "Knight" part isn't from the name
they're called that because HRE is trying to be RE2
Not 6.0 stuff but is there actually a reason why Knights are called Paladins in English FF14?
Wait, so PLD's are confirmed French? No wonder they're the shitty tank with the shitty story.
sounds cooler
HRE wasn't where the paladin comes from. Carolingian Empire is.
I believe the Roman Empire fell long before the organization of the Knights Templar
Eventually, but Carolingian royal knights are the first use of 'Paladin'
Whoever borrows it after that is some german tart's good time
If templar is the new job then we'll have even more deus vult memes and I'm all for that
I will give you a spoiler
It's funny cuz I just played Assassin's Creed Valhalla so some of the historical events occurred during the course of the story
:gasp:

No deus vult into you clean europe of Karlings my dude
Like meeting King Alfred and learning that he's the reason the Templar order exist
Fandaniel won't be the final boss because he'll never die 🦀
'I won't die my back story is complicated'
i mean gaia's still kicking around

I'm so glad Fandaniel has a punchable face.
note: the origins of paladins are not holy or religious
she's not an ascian anymore
Zenos gets gets betrayed by FannyDanny much like Madara did by Black Zetsu
Fandaniel such a bitch he needs a Great Value bahamut copy to fight us
They get shipped, porn made of, and eventually, come back as cookie-gorging goth girls

I mean she is
the
is basically /s for me
Wonder why we were wearing ascian gear on the moon
i wanna kill her but we're the good guys
She only gets awoken in savage
paladin = "of the palace" in old french
half is probably a good proportion
Lunar Bahamut has visual references to Anime, fucking hate I didn't notice until the announement stream
looks like something happens that we don’t see in the partial trailer
... anime???
Was it even Ascian gear? All it was was a robe and underneath it was PLD gear
she has small amounts of her ascian abilities but was not completely overwritten by loghrif's memories
ANIME
it’s a robe used alongnside extreme lightning from the sun
Ascian gear are robes
- We're on the moon
to create symbolism
It looked ascian but it could be just caster gear
Fandaniel: "YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME I HAVE THE POWER OF ZODIARK AND ANIME ON MY SIDE! HYAAAAA!"
i think it's less that we are literally wearing ascian gear and more that the PLD robe is meant to resemble them
though honestly
it resembles an Ancient robe more than an Ascian one
He's wearing the robe over the paladin gear
The pld gear is armor
We're on the moon to kill/stop Zodiark why else are we there?
What kawaaian said
it's the cloak over the armor
And yeah, i's a ref to Azem
Huh
I would like a very pissed-off melee DPS
Fandaniel is nothing powerful. We've fought the usundered ones
Why would a pld wear a cloak
It might just be a nice cloak Tataru made for us
Just hope that's not endgame gear, because i want it right away xD
I think it'll be the reward from the final shb quest
but it being worn over the suit makes us resemble the Ancients more than the Ascians
because we're remembering who they were without falling into what they became
the difference with DamnDaniel is that he doesn’t care about rejoinings or schemings
no capes
he wants death
It's just for the trailer shot, much like why WAR had a whole garb for the HW trailer
I hope Tataru gives us something nice and warm when going to the moon
But why would you need it on the moon
Somebody who just doesn't give a shitt and says "come at me bro, I will tear your eyes out and feed them to my raven"
Now interestingly, FFXIVAnima's headfronds are DIFFERENT than FFX's
They resemble the floofs on LB's wings more
.......
Right
Does FF14 Anima have the “necklace” of FF10 Anima?
i think i recall Pash pointing out the manacles have a different design as well
Did they post anything about the trial series?
no sign of the icon necklace either
I'm not looking at differences though, but how similar it is to LB, how there's common visual elements
Or just raids and alliance faids
no details on the trial series yet
They said 6.0 will answer my calamity question. I truly hope its some evil ancient or some enemy of the Ancients
I c
nothing about the trial series, my guess is Four Archfiends
he's all the way down there
So anima is msq boss?
he sucks
Practically hard confirmed ANima's one of the midtrials
Anima will be an MSQ trial, yeah
Interesting
true Yana, but whens the last time an Ascian wanted wonton destruction without syncing it up with another shard?
@severe brook keep him down there where he belongs the little shit
I hope Anima is Zodiark's true form xD
He's probably the 87 trial
Fandaniel's different. His threat is not his power level.
Fandaniel is basically a dog without a leash
Anima is Fandaniel's true form
Then we get no Anima weapons ;w;
I could see us going over to Thavnir first rhen heading to Garlemald after where Anima could be
Anima will be the 83 trial
That's not true, necessarily.
@severe brook so is true name is anima?
But we might get Anima Summon xD
My knowledge of other ff games is a bit of ff4 currently
anyone know what Fandaniel’s true name is? like how Emet’s was Hades?
...you know, before the 6.0 reveal i did compare Fandaniel to Seymour in terms of wanting everything dead
no sign of Fandaniel's true name
i wouldn't be surprised if it got revealed for us sometime
but we don't know now
GUy shows up for five minutes to introduce himself and you think we had time to card him and run a background check
Slightly different reasons Blitz but you are right
Anima will probably be the 83 trial boss
I’d just imagine his real name is Daniel and his real form is also that of a Daniel
83*
he could've had the decency to drop a Field Record at least
Fandaniel is nothing he could had fought us
but he have this bahamut thing instead
He wants to die thats all that's important
His goal is not to fight us.
And he got a sick new flavour of bahamut
His goal is to destroy the world.
Then get him off here chief
Anima is going to be a Terimnus beast
mark my words
We want bloodshed
the only true names we know are
Emet-Selch — Hades
Mitron — Artemis
Loghrif — Gaia
— Venat
— Hythlodaeus
And I guess the founding Convocation members each had the seats' names as their actual names, countless aeons ago.
Now that I think about it Seymour is a bit like Exdeath
BUt killing him may not actually save the world.
I don't want to save the world
y not tho
Also, you know, ascians and their illusions, you gotta catch the fucker first
What if fandaniel ends up being the ranjit of end
nah fuck that
yeah i think fandaniel's well aware he's not going to stand any chance in a fight

so he's going to play it 'smart'
Nah. Fandaniel is weak
we’re done making sympathetic villains at the final hour
if they try to sob story us on Fandaniel
zenos and fandaniel needs to know the WoL is more twisted than them
they can fuck off tbh
"are you sure about that"
Damn we were suppoised to be sympathetic for ranjit?
I only felt sad after killing him in 11
yeah, Ran'jit is sympathetic
Ranjit is very sympathetic
daddy ranjit
All these things we're all just guessing.... we won't know until they reveal to us the truth
with Scythe Job and BST, you can!
(this is a joke)
Indeed
'I'm tired of grooming girls to get killed by angel zombies so I give up, this all seems futile' is pretty darn sympathetic.
he genuinely thought he was doing the best for his state and adopted daughter
Ranjit is a hybrid between scythe class & monk class
Im aware of the reasoning it just didnt come off as sad
He's not evil by any stretch. Dude is literally a tired war veteran who just wants to not see anymore od his surrogate daughters die to abominations anymore.
plus Dragoon
Ranjit is what Thancred could have been
Sympathetic doesn't imply sad.

If you would like to talk to me about Last Surprise and any other Persona 5 related stuff or just with others and have fun you may join my discord server for Last Surprise! https://discord.gg/fnd77Gk This link is working now!
Ngl fighting him so many times made him come off as annoying
Ehhh, idk
Heck I won’t be surprised if Anima, for some reason, turns out to be the rocket we ride to the Moon
Emotional then
Empathetic then?
We gonna ride that allagan spaceship
I cant feel any sympathy for someone who served Vauthry at that level who had to have known the secrets of Eulmore
And wonder how will Zenos play into this. They said end of Zodiark arc but not Zenos...
i saw a guess of Anima being a Terminus recreation of Yotsuyu and honestly i like the idea
or we gonna ride Omega, or Alexander things
We already played the omega + alexander card
I thought the brief fight with Ranjit in Raktika was pretty hype
Or since we're an ancient we can teleport to the moon like ascians do
Like there's zero way Ranjit didnt know about the whole, you know, converting people into meol
And I want Midgarsormr back if this is the end of Hydaelyn

No, a sympathetic motivation is one where their motivations can be identified with, even if not agreed with. We don't agree with Ran'jit, and he's a controlling dick. But we see how he got there, and sympathize with him.
I just want to ride Anima rocket to the moon
He accepted it if it meant not having to fight with Sin Eaters anymore
i think midgardsormr's probably waking up, tiamat getting out of her prison too
Is it so hard to believe after a century of doing that, you wouldn't give up too?
they're likely to continue those threads
I feel like FannyDanny has hardly any fighting power at all, so that's why he uses Lunar Bahamut to do his work for him
When i feel sympathy i get emotional and/or sad
We don't even know if Ranjit "liked" Vauthry.
Unless its like "damn bitch me too"
That's not what sympathy necessarily means
I guess thats empathy...
I still wanted to be a sin eater
I miss Midgarsormr and his theme everytime he was around
imagine how powerful
I know its not what it necessarily means
we would become
Its just how i experience/acknowledge it
Ran'jit was 'damn, mood, man'
Tiamat is forever there until she forgives herself for aiding in the summoning of Bahamut after his demise by the hands of the Allagans
Tiamat was sad too
You can hear his theme on every mount ever now
Ranjit might have simply put up with Vauthry

As long as he kept the sin eaters under control
I did want the game to explore Ranjit more rather than do the “oh btw he really is dead” thing
No
I don't, and it can stay gone
Ran'jit isn't a sineater
Lmao messed up we can ride him when he's technically not around
sin eaters are mindless
Ranjit was just a dude
So he's just a guy
He’s just a really strong dude
nah Ranjit was just a practitioner of Bukumatz or whatever its called
Lunar Bahamut shows that her self-imposed exile isn't going to keep her brother's wraith from coming back again. So i wouldn't be surprised if that motivates her to break loose.
Fuckin dope
his father owned the danger noodle A rank in Kholusia iirc
Gukumatz was the Familiar, not the method
Oh
Gokumatz is the snek.
and yeah Huracan was his father's
oooooh
Ohh
Ran'jit was just an incredibly skilled and powerful fighter with years of training and experience under his belt
Yo fck that dude
Honestly I hope every last one of us is wrong about the new job and they give us something completely different, just so someone can make a "Last Surprise" video about it...
I'd beat him up again if i could
It looks like a sin eater because it was made by a sin eater.
u wanna fite
But i dont wanna replay the story a third time
i mean i don't think anyone predicted Gundam Sage
Ranjit learned how to create his familiar from dad
so
True
they're off to a good start
new job is gonna be a scythe job, but it's upside down and used as a magical pogo stick to jump on the enemies like dragoon
Ah so he's an arcanist 
Ran'jit is strong and strong people exist in the world.
Ranjit's dad was the general of Eulmore's army before him
i guess the Moon is a fitting location then
And Ronny G was general for a LONG ass time
Ranjit had a dad?
Well ya Gukumatz is a lot like an Egi

Nope he just appeared one day, ripping reality apart with his bear hands before demanding a job.
Yeah of course he has a dad.

as an aside (sorry about this), I'm curious about DPS spell progression for healers for 6.0 and what they'd look like:
Scholar:
- ruin -> broil (54) -> broil II (64) -> broil III (74) -> guessing broil IV
- bio -> bio II (26) -> biolysis (72) -> ?? (would we get an AoE upgrade?)
- art of war -> ?? (would it be upgraded?)
White Mage:
- stone -> stone II (18) -> stone III (54) -> stone IV (64) -> glare (72) -> glare II?
- aero -> aero II (46) -> dia (72) -> ??
- holy -> ??
Astrologian:
- malefic -> malefic II (54) -> malefic III (64) -> malefic IV (72) -> maybe something new for AST, can't see them doing malefic V
- combust -> combust II (46) -> combust III (72) -> ??
- gravity -> ??
Sage:
- ?? any ideas?
@maiden lodge I like the first story better
His dad died fighting Sin Eaters
wtf is this
Make some sound more credible as a villain
Honestly that first thing you said does make a lot more sense for him
and how would glare work? a bigger eye laser?
Also aoe upgrade... We'd lose potency if that was the case
Tbh, a tales from the shadows thing with Ran'jit would've been nice
We need a better pun thaan Broil
It really would've
wrong one
Ranjit was like General Tao only a hundred times more badass and less of a puss
fun fact: rank A hunt is Ranjits dads dragon
you're about 10 minutes late on that fun sir
where did the whole "pteroslaver" thing come about anyway?
he fights something like a monk until he doesn't
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pteroslaver?
synchro-what?
He uses Kenpo i think
see honestly i think us trying to compare Ran'Jit's Familiar Magic to a Player Job is a fool's errand
A silly Shooting Stars meme. When I saw this cutscene in the 5.0 MSQ I just couldn't resist! https://www.patreon.com/FluffStuffXIV
Okay so in Japanese:
Stone-Stonra-Stonega-Stoneja-/-Glare
Malefic-Malera-Malega-Maleja
Argue Heatedly Technique-Argue with Demonic Fire Technique-Argue them to fucking Hell Technique
They can't go past 'ja so your Stone IV had to become Glare, and expect Malefic IV to advance.
They can absolutely do Broil IV, V, or whatever going forward, unless they come up with a new metaphor for the abilities--it's named like techniques, not like spells.
Guys when you think about it, they only showed 2 dps skills on sage, and im pretty sure one of them was the boosted dps one 
i don't think the scythe job we're getting will be anything like his fighting style
No one ever talks about Ranjit's Lieutenant
You know what this means
That guy was a secret bad ass
If only monks was as cool as Ran'jit
No more dots in 6.0 
Adjutant more like Chadjutant
"G-general...?"
nah watch it be the level 90 ability really anti-climactic like
Dude i fucking hope so
He was able to keep up with Ranjit at a full sprint and fight with the Viis and Yshtola on even ground

argue them to hell, fucking lol
Watch when 90 is basically just presence of mind
Yeah, the japanese names for scholar stuff is a little different than spell names get
Stab, Stab II, Stab III, Stab IV

He even had the Kefka weapons so he was able to do O8s
That's pretty poggers
Wait those are the names for ruin??
Or broil
Broil is called Heated Debate in JP
My prediction for Red Mage is they'll forget to give Red Mage potency buff traits until later
I thought i was having a stroke reading it
My predictions for Red Mage: embolden will still be physical only
Well, that's another translation. Argue heatedly--literally it's 'fire speaking' but that's an idiom to argue or embroil or debate.
The more you know
Broil. Ruin, Ruinra, Ruinga, and Ruinja are just that.
Fair
Broil 3 is a mix of Broil 1 and 2 but with blue fire
that shoot out of magic glasses
So Broil 4 or whatever needs to be different
It shoots out mortarboards that then shoot own fireballs
They shoot giant flaming glasses out of their glasses
Fairy dive-bombs into enemy and explodes on impact
Fairy just throws grenades, it's not even a spell any more, just Lily grabbing a tommy gun and going to fucking town
So we double buff
Or something
I don't think they'll give scholar 'a buff fairy'

I think they'll just give scholar buff abilities their faeries can use
Yeah probably not
So you don't have to faerie swap
Maybe add a dps cooldown component to Seraph
Theyre gonna show the job action
Thing
They're gonna show scholar insta-summoning fairy and we're gonna eat it up
Just like pld
They don't want Selene back as a thing, cause she's either OP and perma out, or she's just brought in for the opener and discarded
And believe me, no one misses 'When Selene Was Good' more than me and my ARR Scholar playing ass
That is the perfect representation of Zenos
fucking perma bloodlust lets go
That's fair. I was thinking of seraph but she alternatively buffs but then you would never go normal seraph
Else ur griefing
Im bad at predicting stuff but i guess that lets me get surprised when stuff happens
What I'd do is uncouple aetherflow from energy drain and aetherflow itself--have it trigger from using a cooldown and apply a charge
If you don't use it to heal, you don't use it, too bad.
BUT
SCH's dps kit rounded out so that the lack of Energy Drain is not missed. Not through more dots, but through making an actual rotation.
There's already a rotation, wym
The other healers getting more involved (but not dot-reliant)
Rotate your finger on the Broil button
111111111111111111 isn't a rotation
i was typing as you were.

Any delay is normal server issues. You got your puncline out but it had no effect. You should be used to it from Seraph.
/s
Not bad
"I will be relevant in the final part of the 6.0 arc, just you wait and see..."

you fools.
You had your time old man
its 1111222333111111223111111111112
🤢
rip sch
Also the real scholar rotation is
It's a priority system, so... this is complicated
inb4 Zenos isn't the last boss of 6.0 and he instead becomes our Vergil/Vegeta.
That would get people 
Here it comes
Zenos redemption arc
If they make zenos our vegeta I'm not gonna be happy
He becomes a Scion halfway through 6.0
🤢

Stop you'll give them ideas
🤢
Or better yet
Let that fucker die once and for all
- Summon Faerie.
- /follow <tank>
- Go to the kitchen and start making snacks.
- Talk with your family about your favorite anime
- Come back and watch an episode of that anime
- Go back into the game and complain you didn't get commed.
"Surprise! I was Zodiark all along, fools!"
After a bitchin fight
Fucker's gonna transform into Zodiark

U got the steps confused
- open gearsets
- pick astro
Zenos becomes the moon, it's now the Majora's Mask plot
Thats where the fight comes in 
Naw, that's what you tell the WHM in your group.
omae wa mou shindeiru
its a gif
"I'm actually Hythlodaeus."
no, what's weird is that sephiroth has hair physics but zenos doesn't
or it's relally damn hard to see
i shall give you dis pear
that's because there's no hair physics in XIV 
it's not rigged as part of the model and wasting time adding the rigging for a three second gif is a huge waste of time
I mean, there is
ye have no clue where its from
it's just not that great
Huh
He has hair physics he just uses so much product that his hair is more static than the Empty
Really, that was the real calamity
wow
"Remember when I promised no more secrets? Truth is I'm actually the final boss."
the final boss is 8th chakra widargelt
xiv actually has hair physics
too bad i have short hair
"I'll have nothing of substance to contribute the entirety of 6.0."
they technically said the climax of the story not the end
what if the entire expansion is just a big cliffhanger
dear god
that's the opposite of ending the story arc.
ye its like dead fanbtasy
You know they aren't doing that
"I really just want to delete Monk..."
have a hunch that they just want to break off 1.0 completely
@balmy mesa they're not going to do that
fandaniel is just kefka lmao
Wildcard is way more fun
"I'm going to destroy the fucking planet because I hate it here"
They already mostly did. They kept what little 1.0 lore they wanted to keep, retconned/ignored/calamity'd the rest and starting Yoshi P's story from when he started on board
there's still a few refs here and there I guess - would be super cool to see something new unrelated to garleans/etc
A lot of those are references to Yoshi P's story, not 1.0
You don't see any referenes to the original city leaders for Limsa and Gridania, the elementals were weakened, no one gets kidnapped and forced to remain in Gridania any more... primals are not helpful generally... etc
hmm, I think I need to find a decent synopsis of what happened between 1.0 and 1.23
someone did all the cutscenes on youtube I think?
yeah, I think there's a handful of those
I know there's one for all the gaius cutscenes
and the end of the realm when they blew the shit up before 2.0 came out 
oh hey
Cutscenes from Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, uploaded for those who missed it long ago.
Unveils quite a lot of details that brought to the current story of FInal Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and its expansion...
.....
god that's a stuttery mess
"Help! I'm being held captive in a cold dark place with all the abandoned plot points of the original FFXIV!"
The only stuff I saw from 1.x was stuff like Gaius trying to talk Nael down from dropping Dalamud
And how much of a horrible idea it was
And Nael is like "Shut the fuck up Gaius, aren't you in Garlemald's bad books now? I do what I want"
"See you in 7.0."
"Me too."
If even half of these come true I'm going to consider myself the Oracle of Eorzea xD
Fuck man. They really need to up the drop rate or reduce the pity cost of the castrum upgrade mats
The drop rate is terrible
Wait this game has a Pity system?
im waiting for the CLL hotfix
"I'll get Odin as a third Summon phase with a weaker version of Zantetsuken."
"I'll lose fleche with a reduced CD on Contre Sixte."
lmaoooo
"My gap closer will no longer have a cost."
“Why am I not smart enough”
"I won't really lose Nocturnal Sect."
only thing that worries me about AST losing nocturnal is a repeat of SB
where barrier healers are given enough healing to get through
AST, like every expansion its been in, will get tuned midway through
while pure healers get hard shafted on mitigation
it’s tradition
and get a fuckton of overheal for no reason
"i want disembowel on my AOE combo"
“Can I eat lilies without rolling the GCD please”
"I can't wait to see what Delirium does this time"
Remember when we have dark arts?
i remember when low blow was drk exclusive
the real goal of WHM class is learn to dps and heal, just a noob class x)
"Dark Knight will lose Abyssal Drain."
Leg Sweep used to be integral to Dragoon rotations because it did damage
meaning enemies would get stun immunity
I kinda miss the free damage buttons like Swipe and Fluid Aura
caused pacification which almost nothing was affected by
swipe was a TP saver though
yea it was
bulwark -> swipe was how you recovered TP 😌
"Third Polyglot for Black Mage."
Give Raise to BLM
poor PLD

member 3.0 PLD running out of TP a full minute faster than the other tanks?
with no way to reduce burn rate?
wewlad
speaking of 3.0 pld
"Black Mage aoe Raise."
gift light speed to blm x)
remember how it was basically shit?
cast thunder on your teammates to defibrillate them
Remember when other resers beg BLM for their mana? 
you know what i miss?
aggro resets
they shouldn't have taken out dumping aggro from stuff like lucid
Aggro system was great
remember the gladiator never keep aggro before lvl 40? x)
Paladin would have been fine if the EX trials and Savage didn’t all do nearly exclusively magic damage
Rage of Halone STR DOWN? Nah
grab a DRK instead
healers needing that mana shift fix and BLM was the dealer
nah, those were the shit gld
for that Delirium INT DOWN
good glds marked mobs and raged at the party to hit that mob and not anything else
"Sextuple cast on Black Mage and five umbral hearts!!!" 
I mean, with the changes to tank stance being enmity x50 million
who cares about threat dump lmao
it's useful when you get aggro if a tank dies
tank stance basically guarantees nobody is taking threat from you unless they're also a blue box
COUGHBOZJACOUGH
sure, but like, elusive jump is the only thing between the boss and a dead healer
give drg a tank stance you cowards REEEE
this isn't tera
where they randomly made berserk a tank cause nobody wanted to play lancer
"I actually don't have a second job yet. I'm waiting to see what the most popular guesses are..."
I just want to be able to save healers 😔
I don’t think the dps with the lowest MDef in the games history should get a tank stance
I'm not always on my blue box
oh yea
considering BOTANISTS had more MDef at one point
remember when drg couldn't live final coil?
member when drg literally died at the first jump in titan ex?
yea
because tumults did 40% of your HP each wave?

"Rescue will pull all party members to your position."
inner beast only had a 300 potency heal?
they patched that in uhhhhhh 2.1
2.0 war was hot garbage
same patch as aesthetician
and yoshi-p was hard standing on "you're doing it wrong you nerds"
back when you had to fantasia to swap hair
until someone made him play it 
they did the same for Ninja on-release, they didn’t like how the community found a more optimal way to play the job iirc
🤔
I don't remember nin getting major adjustments until the last mega buff
where they basically gave nin no downsides and it's insanely good melee dps now
the person who told me that needs to get dragged out back, then 
Nice to see someone is taking social distancing protocol seriously
NIN release is the only time period I wasn’t subbed for
I know everybody was rushing nin at the time but I don't remember it being good
happy birthday to the ground
Finally
Yeet
"New DPS will spend health on abilities while Bloodlust is removed to become a passive trait specfically for this job."
that would be nice
would promote solo heal parties
the way the game is designed we'd have more fun as healers if jobs were balanced towards solo heal
blue mage 😔
I guess I should get on finishing my spellbook for blue mage
MSQ finally complete
you can mop up dungeon spells you’re missing with Basic Instinct, if you don’t wanna PF
I need a lot of dungeon spells 😔
Bruh. I'm hoping to hell that they lower the pity or boost the castrum augment mats
I neeeeed it

sync'd is 100% chance
As fucking if
it's worth the hassle of getting a party imo

For the conversation that happened yesterday about opening 14 and hearing a chorus of men
Or. Or
Wild idea.
Let us down trade silver coins
Hell. I'd be happy if it was just like 5-10 bronze per silver
yea i thought on that too
if they let us do silver to gold they should let us do silver to bronze
Like.
it's also bad that field notes give 3 bronze coins and 5 silver
I get if a straight 1 silver to 99 bronze is broken
when you need way less silver than bronze
here's a bone
castrum needs to drop a fuckton
who's a good boy?
...

is the +3 haste worth it 
so, i'll be that person and say that i think zenos' weapon looks a dual mace like judge dace's weapon
Zenos weapon is gonna be like Garlands weapon, why have one weapon when you can have them all
I feel like this moment here in 5.0
Is why Emet is narrating the trailer
Because he proposed the "What if it happens again"
i saw someone on reddit said that it might look like the pommel of a weapon and then i thought "if it is then it looks oddly familiar"
and, well, i saw the end of this thing
What is that
a massive club
Zenos' horny bonker
Patent pending
well, judge drace's weapon - i'm not an ffxii buff but i knew it looked familiar
what Emet didn't understand is that we would search for another way to save the world
ancients when faced with a problem either go somewhere else or create something that'll make the problem go away
Azem beats up the problem
You know
That final scene in 5.0 with Zenos/Varis/Gaius
Is really just so fucking well voiced
All of the Garlean drama
heck yeah
What's the recommended way to get the relics now?
not having sanity is a start
What specific raid?
My advice on this is largely dependent on "are you trying to get just one done, or are you working on alot at various stages"
CT - LOTA and ST are about even. Just don't touch WoD lol.
Mhach - Void Ark. Weeping City is close but people are bad at Ozma. Dun Scaith is too long.
Ivalice - Rabanastre. Ridorana is close tho. Orbonne, like Dun Scaith, too long.
because if you have alot at various stages until you have to do the Mhach step i think that grinding Bozja is best
HaHA, I’ve long forgotten Judge Drace’s weapon but I also thought that thing looked more like a pommel than a scythehead
—like still could be a scythe, I just wasn’t convinced the end we saw was the scythe blade
A pommel is certainly more reasonable than a scythehead.
just due to the angles involved

for the low low price of 999 billion gil
for it to be a scythehead at the angle presented it would have to be like, the most absolutely useless weapon ever
imagine if the Moon doesnt have aetheryte
they will give u a limited amount of moon tickets
u want more? FFXIV Store

It’d have to some transforming and/or aetherial thing and that was just the base
Calm down Andrew Wilson
Elsewise,
says the guy who thinks zenos weapon is a pommel

also whose andrew wilson

Thats a name all gamers should know and hate.
A pommel is the end of a weapon handle, not a weapon type
The CEO of EA. The inventor of loot boxes.
Who was more hated, Andrew Wilson or Bobby Kotick?
Kotick is more known
But Wilson deserves more hatred
He's literally why we have it
gaming industry would be saved without blizzardctivision and ea 
Damn i wish i could trade 1 silver for like 10 bronze

F
I wish we could queue into Castrum from Sjeros in Gangos, instead of instance hopping trying to get in
I wish SE staff also ran Castrum so they know how godawful it is
They said there's hotfix otw but who knows when
for some reason i assumed it was going to be right after the announcement showcase/LL since they said they realized how undervalued it is for the time commitment required to even run it
Honestly it was a problem even before 5.4 dropped so when nothing happened a lot of people were pissed

they honestly thought increasing the sign up timer and adding coins outside castrum was a good enough fix for 2 months
they doubled the coin drops or whatever, which is fucking nothing
Still not efficient enough to run it 
so the meta became "Castrum is useless outside of your first clear"
Technically no longer true but
Once the playerbase at large gets a meme in their heads getting it out is impossible
still kinda is, unless you're farming for coins, which a lot of people aren't going to bother with
Yeah but the people who are, are the exact people you want in CLL to carry the noobs
I've been running alot of CLL
and its basically two categories of player, largely
New people
and people who either are doing Savage DR, or intend to
they should increase the amount of coin further though, these 999 augment items are dumb dumb
that's why i said "meta"
i would love to run it every time it pops for essences and augs
I'm also making a fair bit of money off of CLL grind just due to the shortage of people
Selling fabrics alone has netted me around 6-7mil since 5.45
want people to run castrum in an almost regular basis? throw in fashion reward or a minion
The only way to get people to run castrum in 6.0 will be to promise them a house
I love Gunbreaker but have to admit that PLD shot on the moon was awesome!
the fuck
what the eff
Wtf?
lmao
I mean that wasn't an invitation to post it again
"weird"
what was it
I went to brush my teeth and of course, i missed the weirdness 
that's by no means i'm asking what it is, i don't wanna get in trouble
asking for a friend
Yay 12 more runs for DR to go, I'll get relic, 50 DR clear achievement, BUT still no HAIR
🥳
Are you ok ?
damn, that's a long ass time
No, I need help
get carried
A quick shout-out to Soken, love you big man.

Yeah soken is pretty cool but have you ever done your stuff that you need to do on time and not procrastinate
or even better, finish stuff long before the deadline
That's is even better
Well I'm back.
I wonder... will we get to see ala mhigo in full for 6.0? Its such a beautiful city!!
I went ahead and bought SHB on ps4
replaying stormblood now and the city is so majestic!!
You saw a large part of Ala Mhigo. It's literally the dungeon.

ooo i was too busy fighting TBH LOL that dungeon hahaha
Can't I just plug in a keyboard and mouse and play on those?
Yes
Will ps4 let me do that?
Yes
Thank... god
Have you tried asking it nicely?
Though if you need help trying to play on controller this video helped me a lot

Playing Final Fantasy XIV has never been easier, and it is the premier MMORPG to date, one reason for thi...
But do whatever makes you more comfortable
I keep saying people say sage has been mentioned in games lore before but haven't been able to find it. People are saying alphanuads father is one
if it has been, it's not meant as in the job.
Sage is a title is Sharlayan, but yeah not the actual job
that said they might tie them together in the new lore
not the first time lore has been changed
like some Sharlayan Sage is the inventor of the Nouliths and you inherit the title if you can control them or whatever
ultimately they could have called it something different since it has little to do with traditional Sage or with XIV's lore, but I guess they wanted some name recognition because maybe the other class isn't a traditional one
and they didn't want an expansion with 2 classes no one had heard of before(maybe)
shit will be forgotten once people shoot Garleans with pewpew lasers anyway
On the plus side to all of this
We can all finally stop trying to figure out the right way to pronounce this
academician or alphinaud?
but dont they say his name all the time
Clearly the job, not the name, lol
ohhh
according to google it aka da mission 🤣
just academy then cian
thats how i see it
btw anyone seen this dudes datamine videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xooOZtP1Uwo
I'm pretty sure anything from 6.0 isnt in the game until 6.0 so that Datamine shit is bullshit
i mean the music sounded similar to the one in the teaser
they could add a new song in 5.5 or whatever, but don't think it'd be in the game in 5.45, they'll rarely patch in stuff that far in advance
late reply but we're getting explorer mode for SB dungeons right?
I'm just not going to watch those videos just in case, spoilers be damned
But anytime music is datamined we immediately know what the name of it is.
believe so they mentioned adding more in the live letter
sick
That guy is pretty well confirmed to be trolling
Those videos got circulated in #archived-lore-spoilers a couple weeks ago
i see
That's no moon though, it's the secret allagan super weapon
Well consider dalamud is a thing i guess that count too
Allagan moonbase seems highly likely to be a thing
surely, you could predict anything as long as yoshi p mentioned anything
like, brawling
and gundams
Given that the moon has been shown as basically completely barren yet we're going there as a destination
to be fair we kinda already got the gundam in saphire
That what i just mention
I'm sure its not completely barren, probably has some cloaking tech
That aetheryte in the files is almost surely garlemald
Also we’ve had the map of Ishgard as a residential district since the firmament was opened so
So we go to garlemald, steal a space ship and launch
Basically yes unless there are other zones on the planet which they haven’t revealed
The thing corresponds to map 2=garlemald
See, im a bit iffy on that though
because the trailer and art thus far indicates that the capital is going to basically be a smoking crater
The place when blue mage is from
Someone proposed an idea where Fannydan puts us there to get us out of the way
And I could see that
Not sure how you'd do that gameplay wise
I said that, but idk if you are thinking of me there
The trailer implies it, in my eyes
because Zenos on the tower is implied to be gazing at the moon, where we are
i.e we're not chasing him to the moon
To be fair there is a transition there that doesnt look natural
He's probably pondering on how to kill zondiark
Unlikely we’ll go to the new world until 7.0
But there is a whole "Eye" motif going on with the moon.
There’s nothing relevant there for now
It's just more Martyns being shit
anyone guesss on the new main city yet? its not Radz-atHan(Thats the smaller city)
Sharlayan
The other thing is that the beginning of the trailer kind of, to me at least, has alot of visual cues to say that we've been "wandering the moon" for quite some time
Could be anything
I think the odds are insanely high that we'll be going there based on Sage
Sharlayan (so far) doesn’t have a unique icon as of the last trailer
I dont see Sharlayan being a thing for certain story reasons, but we'll see.
Thavnair/Radzpat han seems like it might be the starting city
but sharlayan are isolationist.
However given that they change details in trailers like they did in shadowbringers they could update it to give it an icon
@unique verge I mean I see it as the metaphorical landscape from SHB
Thavnair is the way to garlemald so it makes sense that’s zone one and then 2 is garlemald
Im specifically referencing the condition of Derplanders armor. Looks like you'd expect it to look if you'd been trudging through endless moondust for a month.
We'll go there, based on the logo art, but I think that imagery of us fighting the light and wandering in SHB is basically the same thing this time with the moon
Not literal wandering.
As a random....ponderance
after what they shown of garlemald im not too thrill going there..its a dead city 😮
I'm wondering about another possibility in terms of story as a means of "why are we even on the moon if Zenos isnt there"
No I'm more excited because I saw a fucking modern road
I want the reveal that it was basically like that XV City
meh tbh i prefer amaurot.
We’ve already seen what garlemald looks like normally
That promo pic is a bit of the capitol because it matches with the buildings in the cutscenes
Why go to the moon if its not to chase Zenos - the only real reason is Zodiark is located there. What would cause us to abandon the chase of Zenos and go after Zodiark instead.
yeah its basically just metalic buildings and shiz
Kinda thinking maybe Fandaniel basically holds the planet hostage and tells us to go kill Zodiark for him.
Who says any of that is sequential.
Its a problem that he needs solved that he cant do himself
I am curious though why Fandaniel still treats Zenos like a king
