Ya know I love how this game builds up the WOL....we star as someone who is no one important and just a jobber even for the scions in the begiining, and we just have a voice in our head.....now were beloved by all and nearly a demi god...and it's not a jarring transition

cinder badger
#

@barren karma speak for yourself I'm a legacy player I was important from the very start they just forgot

maiden lodge
#

Also our goal is not to replicate the fricken primal exactly, but to produce something made of that element using the idea of the primal as a base. If we made it the same we a) would likely summon a tempering monster which would be BAD considering the umbral nature of the environment, and b) would likely fail because a true version would already be summoned.

cinder badger
#

We did pretty much what Azem did.

#

Summon our own Primal and then destroy it

#

But this time there were no grapes involved which makes me sad

maiden lodge
cinder badger
#

Are they the tasty grapes That Grew near the volcano?

#

Look I'm a simple ancient

#

I see grapes I have to have them

#

If anything threatens my grapes they die

#

What if Minfillia or Ryne is Hythlo? <_<

#

Just a thought. Ryne helps WoL to summon primals in order to bring life back to the Empty.

Hythlo similarly helped Azem summon Ifrita to quell the volcano.

#

Oh on another topic.

If Taynor and Unukalhai are part of the same sundered soul then I wonder who their source counterpart is.

rose gyro
barren karma
#

Anyone wanna hedge bets if the WOL looses their powers after Endwalker?

cinder badger
#

Maybe not their powers but most likely the blessing of light

severe brook
#

^

cinder badger
#

They are still 8 times rejoined and just because the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc will end doesn't change it

barren karma
#

also I have to wonder who the new threat will be after we beat up papa crystal

severe brook
#

before i was thinking they might have the Sound be the next overarcing threat

#

but that'll probably be dealt with in 6.0

cinder badger
#

And it's clear after joining with Ardbert that rejoining doesn't require the Ardor or Calamities

severe brook
#

i wouldn't be surprised if they had a bunch of smaller stories that don't have a big connecting factor like the Ascians for a while

#

well, Ardbert's a special case

#

since he was already 'dead'

barren karma
#

kinda wish we also got Ardberts voice along with him.....gawwd he's one of the best voice actors they have

severe brook
#

and we were undergoing basically a mini-calamity of our own

deft burrow
#

DERPLANDER IS ARDBERT CONFIRMED

severe brook
#

in terms of plots that'll be happening going forward

#

i personally think we'll get Void Rejuvenation as a plotline that'll begin in 6.X

#

and it'll involve the Four Archfiends as the 6.X Trial Series

cinder badger
#

@severe brook but it's implied Unukalhai and Taynor are both parts of the same sundered soul.

severe brook
#

yes, but that doesn't mean they'll just merge together anytime

cinder badger
#

Not without their source

#

We wouldn't know who their source is

severe brook
#

it wouldn't necessarily need to be their Source counterpart

#

they could theoretically merge together

#

but it'd require basically a recreation of what happened with us and Ardbert

#

so one would need to be in that ghost-like state

#

and the other would have to be undergoing a catastrophic breakdown

barren karma
#

be kinda nice if 6.1 was a bit of a break....a downtime with a fun little pirate adventure or somehting small....I'd like to go back to Doma personally

severe brook
#

and i don't think either of them want that to happen

cinder badger
#

But I believe the source shard is the original essence. Which is why each rejoining returns to the source

severe brook
#

less the original, more the center

#

nothing is really more or less original than anything else

#

but the Source happens to be the 'center'

cinder badger
#

The source is the source

#

That would be why it's called the source

severe brook
#

still, the Source and Shards came into existence at the same time

#

so neither is more 'original' then the other

cinder badger
#

Know the source existed first

severe brook
#

the Source is more central but it's not inherently closer to the Ancient world than any other

cinder badger
#

The Source would be the original Star before the sundering

barren karma
#

Be kinda cool if the new evil is kinda Cthulhu based...as in it starts with a creeping madness and builds from there....a kinda mad god that not connected to us....a blind idiot god kinda deal

severe brook
#

that sounds more like azathoth than cthulhu

severe brook
barren karma
#

oh ya I just forgot that guy yea that's it!

severe brook
#

they are not fragments of the Source

#

but the Source and Shards are all fragments of a world that no longer exists

cinder badger
#

It's a world that does exist it's just been split. If that world cease to exist why did we find ruins of said world

severe brook
#

we only found those ruins on the First

#

not on the Source

cinder badger
#

Because each Calamity on the source further degraded evidence of those ruins

severe brook
#

yes

#

there were ruins there once

#

when i say split

#

i don't mean that each world was a continent

#

it's the Sundering

#

each world is a percentage, essentially

#

the Source, being at the center, is the world the others rejoin to

#

thus it's now at a higher "percentage"

cinder badger
#

It was explained why we couldn't find evidence of Amaurot on the source

severe brook
#

yes

#

i'm not disputing that

#

when i say that world ceased to exist

#

i mean that that form of existence and its people no longer exist

#

traces still do

#

or did, in the case of the Source

#

but the Source is not the "original" world from which the others flow

cinder badger
#

Only it is because everything returns to the source. By your logic every rejoining could randomly just flow into any other shard.

#

But they don't. Why? Because they flow into the source.

severe brook
#

that wasn't the argument here
my argument was that the Source is not the original, but the center

#

it cannot be the original because all parts of this system originate at the same time

#

if it was the original, the source would be older

#

but the source is a 'fragment' just as much as the other shards are

cinder badger
#

It is literally called The Source

#

Being older has nothing to do with it it's the original copy of the world they lived in only divided in essence. Which is why each Shard flows back into it during a rejoining.

#

killing all crewmates in the way

cinder badger
#

The argument became that the source was not the original world. Calling it the "center" but not being the ORIGINAL WORLD from which the 13 shards are reflections of.

#

@maiden lodge

#

The literal meaning of the Japanese name is "ORIGINAL WORLD."

maiden lodge
barren karma
#

What if the original world is.....our world O_O

maiden lodge
#

The Source is the same dimension, but the world is something different

cinder badger
#

It's literally called the original world oh my God are you people so obtuse but you can't look facts straight in the face and admit that your answer is wrong.... does Yoshida have to look you straight in the eye and tell you you are wrong for you to finally admit it or you going to argue with him too?

maiden lodge
#

That's the whole shtick behind the Ascians isn't it? That the world -isn't- the old Source, and they're trying to bring it back into being

kind lark
maiden lodge
# cinder badger It's literally called the original world oh my God are you people so obtuse but ...

In the metaphysics of identity, the ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The concept is one of the oldest in Western philosophy, having been discussed by the likes of Heraclitus and Plato by c. 500–400 BC.

#

I'm not saying that, in one sense, the Source is not the core remnant of the old Source--it is. That's not disputed.

#

What I'm saying is that it's not the same thing, despite having been made from the original, in the same sense that you eating a steak--that steak ceases to be even as its proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, its component bits, are made into your flesh

cinder badger
#

It wasn't made from the original

#

It literally is the original

maiden lodge
#

Every world is the original, in that sense.

cinder badger
#

No it isn't

maiden lodge
#

Hydaelyn doesn't copy. She divides. She makes one thing into two.

cinder badger
#

13 shards are reflections of the original

#

The source is the original

maiden lodge
#

They're not copies--they're proper divisions

cinder badger
#

Hydaelyn, also known as the Source (原初世界, Gensho Sekai?, lit. Original World), is the primary setting of Final Fantasy XIV. It shares its name with the Mothercrystal who guides the player character.
This world is the original star from which Hydaelyn's thirteen reflections were sundered. One of these reflections, the First, is the main setting of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers.

lit

maiden lodge
#

yes yes you can quote a wiki good for you

#

Now instead of didacticly repeating a noncanonical source

#

Watch the cutscene where emet-selch explains what Hydaelyn does

cinder badger
#

The Japanese name means original world

maiden lodge
#

Yes, yes, I understand how names work, yes yes.

#

What is Hydaelyns mode of attack according to Emet-selch?

#

Division.

cinder badger
#

You're trying to use a fictional characters interpretation of events to describe it. I'm doing actual research about the motivations of the creators of said story.

maiden lodge
#

Actual research would actually involve the text.

#

The text says, explicitly, her power is division. Are you saying the text is wrong about the text?

cinder badger
#

The creators call it the original world they wrote it out to be the original world and the 13 shards are reflections

#

That is what the source means even pull out a dictionary for crying out loud and you will see what source means

maiden lodge
#

So are you claiming that Emet-selch is wrong about the cosmology of the game?

#

That Hydaelyn doesn't divide, but photocopies?

#

And that the sundering is a bad name, and it's actually just the 'ctrl-c ctrl-v'?

cinder badger
#

That's part of making a good story is not having a fictional character provide the exposition but instead their own interpretation. You're taking his interpretation of what Hydaelyn does as the facts.

maiden lodge
#

But hey, the 'name' of it is the 'Source' and all names are literal and must be taken literally without exceptions. Thus, Moenbryda must have actually married the moon at some point--you cracked the case on how we get there! We'll borrow her dowry!

maiden lodge
#

Are you claiming the exposition is non-expository?

heady shadow
#

oh btw.

#

Zenos is like Kenpachi Zaraki.
both want strong enemies to fight and usually want them to get stronger.
though zaraki will run after you all the time.

maiden lodge
#

Emet-selch was delivering exposition though. And while I appreciate the idea he's non-reliable, to show such, the onus is on you to prove that he is in this case.

cinder badger
#

Only he's a character that sees what he wants to see. He also deems that the sundered shards are not full ancients so therefore they do not actually exist. So I guess we are to believe that our characters do not actually exist in the game's world and we're just Phantoms.

maiden lodge
#

Which, saying 'THE SOURCE MEANS' doesn't prove dick, because you're claiming a name is an aptonym without showing how it is apt

maiden lodge
#

He's not claiming we don't exist either.

cinder badger
#

He literally says he doesn't count as killing us as murder since we don't exist

maiden lodge
#

Emet-selch is the most reliable character we have on the matter, because he's the only one who a) was there, and b) remembers. Even Hydaelyn isn't.

cinder badger
#

In his eyes we are not real that we are just fragments of what he perceives as real

maiden lodge
#

And notice: Nothing's contradicted what Emet-selch has explained either.

#

And an independant source (Ronka) fucking backs him up

rain onyx
#

He clearly doesn’t show that much remorse for the probably millions he killed through rejoinings.

maiden lodge
#

You're literally arguing that Emet selch is wrong about Emet selch's own motivation. The world has changed in such a fundamental manner that he cannot live with it. If the world were the same, he'd not have that motivation. You're literally saying Emet-selch's lying to himself about the world that he's trying to change back to the thing it once was.

In this instance, you've had it explained to you that this is a 'Theseus' ship' argument, and you've ignored it, and you've been presented with the text, and you're ignoring the text. I am not the reason you're running into troubles here.

#

If 'The game says <blank>' is 'clearly nothing' as an argument to you, how can you even discuss the game? Your position is absurd.

cinder badger
#

I'm arguing that the literal meaning of the name given by the devs is "Original World" and you still refuse to listen

#

So clearly the devs are lying but the fictional character they created is correct

maiden lodge
# cinder badger I'm arguing that the literal meaning of the name given by the devs is "Original ...

I did listen. I addressed it. It's not a salient point.

1:47 PM] Kawaiian, Equinox Bane: I'm not saying that, in one sense, the Source is not the core remnant of the old Source--it is. That's not disputed.
[1:48 PM] Kawaiian, Equinox Bane: What I'm saying is that it's not the same thing, despite having been made from the original, in the same sense that you eating a steak--that steak ceases to be even as its proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, its component bits, are made into your flesh

#

I even linked the Ship of Theseus.

The problem here is I don't actually think you really understand what you're arguing against, exactly.

lime estuary
#

Im trying to comprehend what this argument is about, is someone arguing that Hydaelyn copies and doesnt divide?

#

Cause she divides. Her literal power is to split things.

kind lark
#

The older world being the acients one

maiden lodge
#

If I take a pile of cookie dough, and I split it into 14 even piles, with one in the middle where the original was--the one in the center isn't the original pile. The pile is gone.

lime estuary
#

Technically speaking the original world doesn't exist anymore in the sense of a complete product

maiden lodge
#

The remnant is there, and aetherically, the Shards pull towards the Source

#

It has special properties, no one is disputing that

lime estuary
#

Yeah that much can be argued absolutely

maiden lodge
#

It is -special-

lime estuary
#

But you cant take it as "oh this is literally the same as it was in ancient times"

maiden lodge
#

It is not equal

#

But it's different.

lime estuary
#

I suppose you could explain it as this:

The source is like the base lego block that all the other blocks get attached to

#

but the completed lego construction doesnt exist anymore

#

And also, yes I believe Emet-Selch was telling the truth when he says he doesn't lie

#

Or specifically that he wasnt lying to the scions and wol

#

he was actually pretty straight forward

#

Now, granted, just because he wasnt lying doesnt mean he was telling the WHOLE truth

#

cause thats a different story

heady shadow
#

he told us what we needed to know.

#

thats it

#

whether it was a lie or not is up to the individual

Isn't it beautiful ?

cinder badger
#

How many reflections of the source are there

deft burrow
#

14 @cinder badger

spare warren
cinder badger
#

"Across ten and three were we then divided. Reflections of the Source, each possessed of a shard."

deft burrow
#

8 already joined

cinder badger
#

You would be wrong

deft burrow
#

oh

#

there are 13

deft burrow
#

and then the source

rugged basin
#

And one went bye-bye

cinder badger
#

Across 10 and 3

deft burrow
#

multiple went bye bye

#

8 have been rejoined

rugged basin
#

I meant gone completely, not rejoined

deft burrow
#

currently 5 shards, the 13th being world of darkness, failed experiment

#

and one is the 1st

#

that leaves 3 that we don't know about

maiden lodge
#

The thirteenth is still 'there' but it's fucked up and not in a rejoinable state.

deft burrow
#

yeah

#

its like

#

fucked

cinder badger
#

But there is a possibility we can save the 13th

deft burrow
#

I mean....

forest magnet
#

but only if you level all your roles

maiden lodge
cinder badger
#

Yes only if you level all your roles

deft burrow
#

Mhm

forest magnet
#

at that point would they even make it mandatory then

#

"please level all roles to lvl 80 before continuing and do these quests:"

#

like

#

it can't be that important otherwise they'd make people level jobs

#

to do msq

cinder badger
#

Or we just need to amass enough light to pour into the 13th

#

If only we had a vessel that could withhold a near Limitless amount of Aether

maiden lodge
#

They took out crossclassing to avoid forcing that

forest magnet
#

what do you mean crossclassing

cinder badger
#

@forest magnet before role actions we had cross class

forest magnet
#

that was for specific jobs

#

but yea

maiden lodge
# forest magnet what do you mean crossclassing

In ARR and HW, instead of role abilities, that stuff was class abilities, and you had to level enough in the class with it to be allowed to equip it on other jobs.

So, for example, to get swiftcast as a healer, swiftcast was a level 26 THM ability, so you had to level to level 26 THM in order to swiftcast-raise

cinder badger
#

Man I remember in 1.0 where you didn't play Black Mage in trials

forest magnet
#

Like crossclassing required specific jobs

cinder badger
#

Because if you just played thaumaturge you could cross class raise from Conjuring

forest magnet
#

this would be "as long as its X role just level it to unlock the quest"

#

which is less painful

maiden lodge
lime estuary
#

Put it this way, if we ever return to the 13th there's absolutely no way they would force you to do all of that

#

They'd just find another way

onyx mango
#

Couldnt tanks cross class protect? Think I remember that.

forest magnet
#

PLD could cross class raise

onyx mango
#

And there were like two stances for WAR I think

cinder badger
#

@maiden lodge soon-to-be five jobs

#

It's less painful for the older players though who already have most of their jobs levelled anyway

#

So then it's just ten levels per job

strange summit
lime estuary
#

And for those who are confused, there are 14 worlds, 13 shards, and the Source.

#

Not 12 shards and the Source.

maiden lodge
#

Raise was out of combat only, though

subtle pasture
#

I don't think the Void Quests would be mandatory to enter a Void Expac, moreso just, like, giving context and alternate dialogue when Unukahai hops out a portal in 7.55 or so haha

cinder badger
#

Imagine if Paladin gets raise this time

subtle pasture
#

it'd be the equivalent of the WoD arc being optional in HW, which, like, yeah why, but also, ChenShrug

maiden lodge
#

kit

cinder badger
#

@maiden lodge unless it works differently

maiden lodge
subtle pasture
#

well, there is the Requiescat trait

maiden lodge
#

And Paladins sitting there casting a long spell while getting punched in the gunt doesn't work well

subtle pasture
cinder badger
#

Like spending oath gauge on it instead or allowing it to be instacast during Requiescat

subtle pasture
#

...not saying it'd ever be worth it, but, it's there

maiden lodge
#

There's that, but that... yeah

cinder badger
#

It would prevent people from abusing it

subtle pasture
#

if PLD didn't already have 2 raid CD's one coulda be given as an aoe Clemency or its compliment to Confiteor

cinder badger
#

Red Mage already abuses the shit out of their raised

maiden lodge
#

The issue with that though is that raise is also an oom risk on all jobs that have it. Paladins don't really have MP as a cost in the same way, like eating 2400 mp is nothing on them

maiden lodge
subtle pasture
#

well, bc their entire dps kit rotates around Requiescat burst windows and rebuilding your MP

maiden lodge
#

Yeah like, you couldn't put raise on BLM either

#

Not in combat

subtle pasture
#

...and FoF is there too I guess

cinder badger
#

@maiden lodge then oath gauge cost. The idea would be giving Paladin an emergency raise in case both healers are down

maiden lodge
#

Oathguage is a minimal cost.

cinder badger
#

But you still have to be choosy with how you spend your oath gauge

maiden lodge
#

I mean, yeah, but your choices now are just cover and intervention

#

And sheltron

cinder badger
#

Always keeping at least 50 in reserve for emergencies

subtle pasture
#

prob a new gauge builder spendor for 80+

cinder badger
#

And spending it before you go over cap

subtle pasture
#

shield swipe seems like easy territory for gauge building

#

or, the new burning swipe Derp throws in the trailer

#

🔍

maiden lodge
#

I don't see them giving any tank raise, tbh

#

Not in combat.

subtle pasture
#

Cover II, absorbs a killing blow, perhaps

#

--well, not a Cover lmao

#

but a Guardian Spirit-esque ability

#

...that's easy cheesing territory though

cinder badger
#

There would be worse decisions than giving Paladin its own personal res

subtle pasture
#

imagine 80+ being they give tanks a 2nd invuln haha

spiral mica
#

perfect block? 3 seconds, next attack does zero damage

maiden lodge
subtle pasture
#

or give PLD for having the worst invuln atm

cinder badger
#

Can also give it a cool down

maiden lodge
subtle pasture
#

yeah fair, I was just lookin' at CD

#

bc the others have "trade-offs"

cinder badger
#

Again the idea is to give Paladin the option in case both healers wipe and there's no Red Mage or Summoner

regal lantern
#

What’s the use of that?

subtle pasture
cinder badger
#

Yeah but why eat the wipe if you could spare your team the trouble

subtle pasture
#

because efficiency angrymiqote

maiden lodge
cinder badger
#

The game should promote more adaptability. Why does losing both your healers have to mean a death sentence

regal lantern
subtle pasture
#

--in a perfect world aka what even pugs will demand happen regardless of skill or comp differences, rez isn't needed

maiden lodge
regal lantern
#

Ah okay yeah fair

subtle pasture
#

TBN's also the best like, "filler" defensive CD

cinder badger
#

I don't know TBN seems to absorb quite a lot

subtle pasture
#

okay Nascent Flash is

cinder badger
#

Isn't it a percentage of your max health

subtle pasture
#

but TBN at least feeds back into DRK's DPS rotation

maiden lodge
#

TBN also doesn't help when it's consecutive hits that place a damage vuln stack, so you can take one but not two.

spiral mica
#

LD would probably be a lot better if it wasnt so...convoluted

subtle pasture
#

TBN, Raw Int/Nascent, Sheltron, and Heart of Stone

#

as like, the short cd defensives

maiden lodge
#

Like one specific case where LD's strength shows is Titania's tethers. DRK's the only tank that can eat all six tethers without a swap

spiral mica
#

but tbh i feel like both DRK and GNB invulns are just kinda stupid in design, for no reason than they tried to differentiate them from the existing tank invulns

maiden lodge
#

TBN the first, eat the second, LD the third and 'die', invuln four five and six, get bene'd

#

GNB's is actually good as well

spiral mica
#

GNB is just HG but you need to get healed after

maiden lodge
#

Usually tank busters apply vulnstacks if they do damage, so you're swapping right after anyways

cinder badger
#

I love Paladin

spiral mica
#

DRK is just extended HG

maiden lodge
#

GNB does actually mean you don't need a swap

#

Not taking the damage is really a legitimate aspect to GNB that lets it do things Holm doesn't. On E10S, for example, you can have a GNB or a PLD eat all the orbs and take no damage down stacks as a cheese, but War and Drk can't without eating a ton of damage down.

gaunt star
#

you get dmg down if you do that

maiden lodge
#

And if GNB isn't tanking the boss at the time, that's an uptime strat, and they don't need to be healed right after by direct heals

gaunt star
#

they don't check for dmg, they check how many ppl they hit

#

though bolide/hallow do allow other cheesing in the tier

maiden lodge
#

Still

#

it's cheesing there cause the uptime

gaunt star
#

also one thing ppl don't usually appreciate is that a major benefit of invulns is that the tank doesn't need to be topped beforehand

#

bolide reducing you to 1 hp isn't actually much of a downside

#

if you hallow something at full hp then your healers are probably doing something wrong

maiden lodge
cinder badger
#

Why does monk feel like it's slightly easier to play on a controller than keyboard

brisk quail
#

Literally FREE CD

#

Doesn't waste DPS-based resources

#

Helps against busters and raidwides and chip damage

subtle pasture
#

true, and I guess TBN is at best dps neutral

brisk quail
#

TBN is a use it and hope the enemy breaks it... otherwise it's a DPS loss

#

Shelltron is oh. My oath gauge has been at full for the last 50 seconds, guess I'll press it

ruby hull
#

one of my new action recommendations has been a way to manually pop your TBN

#

in fact I was thinking the following

#

a strike that costs HP or pops your TBN

#

that way we get OG DRK flavor AND a means to control TBN

maiden lodge
#

I mean if the enemy doesn't break TBN then your healer just pew pewed for absolutely free because you took zero damage

#

And if it does, your healer got some free pew pew

#

Sheltron is also weaker than TBN

wary perch
#

Just use tbn on tank buster for free shield

maiden lodge
#

TBN does 25% of your hp. So, if you have, for example, 200k hp, that's 50k damage prevented.

In order to prevent 50k of damage, Sheltron requires you to take a hit that does 250k damage without it.

That'd still kill you.

wary perch
#

It's a dps lost now that pld loss the shield swipe

maiden lodge
#

Actually it gets you back a dps resource, mp

gaunt star
#

drk doesn't need even fewer ways to make unforced errors

#

Smart tbn usage including gaining uptime while still popping it is a big part of being great at the job vs simply good

So how does one actually use perfect balance

wary perch
#

When mechanic force you to off position?

#

Oh wait

#

Wrong skill

#

That's true north

acoustic sail
#

Remember when everyone thought chemist was going to be a job

zinc abyss
#

I wish it had been...

wary perch
#

Atleast they keep the gun

#

And made it fly

cinder badger
#

@acoustic sail you mean it isn't? looks at Alchemist

gaunt star
#

Chemist would be the healer version of Alchemist

cinder badger
#

What Alchemists can already heal people

#

They make potions people drink potions and people are healed

onyx sundial
#

@gaunt star do you use tbn on targetted mechs? Like for example a whm gets targetted for lightning tether on e11s

#

Oh right

#

Bad example since you use tbn on yourself for the tb

gaunt star
#

yea

onyx sundial
#

You get what i mean though

#

What example ...

gaunt star
#

yeah

#

that sort of thing is a potential use case

#

I think of the prey from o7s but that was... a while ago lol

onyx sundial
#

E12s prog parties have been a pain

cinder badger
#

The Blackest Night is best used on yourself when main tankking or on the main tank when you're off tanking

onyx sundial
#

Tried it once again

#

Get tank bustered in the first tb

gaunt star
#

pphands

#

and sometimes if I really need to pop one I just put it on a squishy for a raidwide

#

I'd try to give it to our brd in prog because he's the most prone to just falling over dead but now it doesn't really matter

#

if there's raidwide+auto it usually pops on whoever's tanking but that's not always the case wearycarby

plain saffron
#

Yah currently it takes 3 autos to get a tbn off me in prog

#

But I suspect it just expires before enough autos go off on you now?

vapid cape
#

Im going to call it

#

the ascians didnt summon the monsters in the final days

#

they were summoned or sent by someone or something else

#

im going purely based on the fact the monsters share the teleport animation of ascians

#

and that theyre suddenly reappearing even though denizens of eorzea lack creation magic potential

runic atlas
#

That’s easy, the answer is

#

Aliens.

balmy mesa
#

considering the rather distinct design of the towers, it's possible that Fanny is using some Mhachi tech to forcibly create/summon monsters.
Final days had creation magic go out of control afaik - so not necessarily created by ascians ancients

half phoenix
#

I think current speculation is that architecture is just void/umbral aesthetic

floral aurora
#

Btw

#

Just cause you PLDs got an awesome trailer doesn't make you hot stuff

#

GNBs will still be the coolest xD

gaunt star
#

I hate that they put some random sigil on the back of the 6.0 cape

teal geyser
#

I don't think it's that mhachi

gaunt star
#

My pld glam will remain my glowly eureka gear

teal geyser
#

I get where you come from with like, the lights but....frankly that also kinda already existed before Mhach

floral aurora
#

Making the cape and armor look all badass, GNBs will look even more badass

gaunt star
#

Someone who zoomed into the towers said they look garlean up close

teal geyser
#

Yeah

#

They got really obvious garlean uh, "piping" at the bottom

#

and if you go "that light looks like something from Mhach" well....

gaunt star
#

Tower of babil had weird pipes all over the place and lights shooting up to the moon too...

teal geyser
#

Not the first time Garlean magitek has shot spooky red lights in the past

deft burrow
#

"Garlean"

#

;)

floral aurora
#

Calling it

#

October release

teal geyser
#

God those towers are fucked up though

#

My arachnoid instincts are telling me to expect nothing before November

floral aurora
#

Its October

#

Mega Live Letter August or September

subtle pasture
#

Is that the Lunar Transmitter

#

--WAIT

gaunt star
floral aurora
#

Did we ever obtain an excalibur sword or crystal sword in ffxiv?

severe brook
#

Excalibur is the Paladin's Zodiac Weapon, I believe

teal geyser
#

Sure we've been given swords which I'd class as crystal swords

#

like the uh, ShB bluespirit stuff

cinder badger
#

Is it Excalibur the completed Relic for Paladin in A Realm Reborn?

untold gull
#

so, hear me out for the new melee weapon: nero's old gunhammer

floral aurora
#

Damn

cinder badger
#

@untold gull people have wanted something like Nero as a job since ARR

floral aurora
#

I was hoping we didn't since we got a badass sword in the moon in ff4

gaunt star
untold gull
#

it's definitely unique. and imagine: giant ass rocket hammer as a weapon tensebutstillsmile

floral aurora
#

New weapons have to be badass looking for this expansion

severe brook
#

there are still some mystical swords they could use as a new weapon

#

is Dyrnwyn in the public domain yet?

heady shadow
#

fleshy towers

cinder badger
#

Reading more into the Templar I'd actually welcome it now

heady shadow
#

pointy

cinder badger
#

Because it's supposed to be very similar to the rune fencer

#

But I still don't know what kind of weapon it would use given that Paladin's have swords and dragoons have Lance's

#

So the dev team would have to be creative

untold gull
#

i trust them to be one

#

Sage somehow went through looking cool af

gaunt star
#

Templars use swords

floral aurora
#

Sage > the rest

woven escarp
#

templar is closer to a tank type job though

#

since it shares a lot in common with pld

floral aurora
#

Sorry old healers, you look boring now

#

XD

cinder badger
#

@woven escarp have you actually look at the Templar job in previous games

woven escarp
#

TG cid's job is definitely a maiming job but there's no way they'd add him as a playable job haha

untold gull
#

sage looks so cool that so many dps players are actually considering playing healer

#

so many dead bodies in 6.0

floral aurora
#

Dont blame them

cinder badger
#

@woven escarp Templar is a spellblade it's not a tank

untold gull
#

i'm one of those people tbh

floral aurora
#

Gunbreaker was fun at launch too

cinder badger
#

And it most certainly is not close to Paladin

untold gull
#

already warned my FC that i'll end up killing some of em kekww

cinder badger
#

You're only associating it by name and even that's wrong

#

Templar Channel magic into their blades that provide status effects

#

There are a lot more related to the Rune fencer in Final Fantasy XI then they are the Paladin

untold gull
#

it's more just the implication of the name than the actual functionality of the job itself

#

that said, who knows, we might actually get templar then somehow have a spear and a shield shrug

floral aurora
#

Long as its fun that's all I care about

#

Like they made Dancer awesome

untold gull
#

dancer is sooo chill

floral aurora
#

Gunbreaker and Dancer were damn near perfect at launch compared to the older jobs

untold gull
#

you have like just under a minute of uptime then for two minutes, you just chill there LUL

floral aurora
#

I'm expecting similar quality to the new jobs

#

Dancer made me love physical range more

untold gull
#

honestly, i haven't tried gnb on lower level content. dnc is so great for just a normal run through of something like CT raids because of that god like aoe but gnb is so much like a dps too -- you know what, i should try it later tensebutstillsmile

floral aurora
#

Just remember, you might hate the other tanks after you try it xD

untold gull
#

honestly, i'm only at 50 at drk and while i like the class, i hate how squishy i feel on it compared to war

#

and war started to get stale though i'm only at 56 on that

floral aurora
#

Sadly DRK is only cool between 70-80

#

Boring before it

untold gull
#

ngl, i miss dark arts - it was still there when i first played drk but stuff happened life

#

well, early dark arts anyway

royal spruce
#

So what's your guy's first job to 90 going to be

gaunt star
#

Pld then sge

deft burrow
#

Funny how we don't have a melee dps with a normal sword

#

Isn't that interesting?

#

We have a katana

#

But we don't have a one handed sword

#

melee dps

untold gull
#

sam/mnk. not even a choice just so i can delete armour/weapons

cinder badger
#

"In modern fantasy fiction and games, Templars have become associated with champions of religious authority who may be over ruthless in combating anyone seen as an enemy of the religion, or who are possibly dabbling in darker magics themselves. Whereas a Paladin will almost always be genuinely good, a Templar can easily become a villain."

royal spruce
#

For me it's going to be ninja dancer than mysterious DPS

cinder badger
#

Just for the people who think Paladin and Templar are one in the same

floral aurora
#

I hope they get rid of the ninjitsu bunny

#

Sorry Ninjas xD

deft burrow
#

Need more skimpy clothing in 6.0

#

Can count on skimpy lunar WoLs

maiden lodge
untold gull
#

and here i'm asking for more armour on female colbert

floral aurora
#

Lol

deft burrow
#

less armour is more armour what do you mean?

untold gull
#

we've gone through that phase already tho

deft burrow
#

hm

untold gull
#

male and female. remember the odd bdsm gear phase early on?

gaunt star
#

Sorry women in armor is breaking my immersion the only equipment set allowed for women should be the spring dress

deft burrow
#

LOL

floral aurora
#

See, this is why I'm glad im a Lala Mario xD

untold gull
#

now that i think about it, i should hunt those down for a glamour topkek

floral aurora
#

Lalas don't have this issue

dim sigil
#

I was one once

floral aurora
#

Traitor

#

XD

dim sigil
#

It wasnt worth it

#

I missed having glamour

floral aurora
untold gull
#

lol

I went back to au ra after some time

floral aurora

10000 needles

dim sigil
#

Speaking of mario

#

Does galaxy have 100 star coins

dense shard
#

its like 8 months or so till 6.0

dim sigil
#

I just baisclly started it

#

Given the way the levels are more I don't know level-based rather than exploration I don't see how that's a thing if it is

floral aurora
#

Idk I don't care for galaxy much

dim sigil
#

Sad

#

I've only ever played 64 and Odyssey

#

So first time doing these otherss

next quarry
#

Galaxy has 120 stars and at least a coin per level iirc

floral aurora
#

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

#

XD

dim sigil
#

Ill get that to later

floral aurora
#

Man Mario in Space

#

Can't wait

languid breach
#

I'm sure the moon will be basically this expack's Tempest, like the story takes a wild turn and it's randomly sprung on us that welp we have to go to the moon

dim sigil
#

Its called oddessy

floral aurora
#

You know that PLD shot in the trailer, I want my character in that shot xD

#

Man and it would be the best image in ffxiv

untold gull
#

we'll get our chance

#

we had that moment in front of emet selch

floral aurora
#

Yep!

#

As Super Mario and Fire Mario

untold gull
#

hopefully we get that moment in front of zodiark

#

actually, i'd like to see that - mario in front of zodiark

floral aurora
#

Have to look epic after that Sephiroth trailer lol

heavy lintel
#

If the moon was going to be the Tempest equivalent I can't imagine they would've told us right away that we were going there

open verge
#

I mean

gaunt star
#

It’s probably broken up into more than 1 zone

#

Overworld, subterrain, etc

open verge
#

We knew we would be going to the moon since forever

untold gull
#

moon underground

heavy lintel
#

Yeah, that's true

floral aurora
#

Yeah inside the moon is where the final fight will be

open verge
#

It was expected that we went to moon at some point with Yoshi p teasing it so much

floral aurora
#

If its like ff4

cinder badger
#

Only one thing about Templar that would disappoint me is it should have been a job in heavensward

heavy lintel
#

I guess it depends on what the full trailer shows

gaunt star
heavy lintel
#

Since there's something obscured in the shot of the dark side of the moon

untold gull
#

there's also the hole on the moon...

heavy lintel
#

IDK if that's meant to be a hole or an eye tbh

#

If you're talking about the logo

cinder badger
#

Templar would have made a lot more sense in Ishgard, a nation full of zealotry and religeous fervor.

floral aurora
#

Btw i don't count any 3d ff games before ff7

#

Prefer the 2d versions

untold gull
#

after years is a sequel

#

canon sequel

cinder badger
#

We didn't even get Final Fantasy 3 in North America until the DS version

#

We got a Final Fantasy 3 but not THE Final Fantasy 3. North America's Final Fantasy 3 was actually Final Fantasy 6

dim sigil
#

The end of ew will be a twist as will its location im sure

wary perch
#

I'm not sure that's a hole or just giant lake on the moon logo

dim sigil
#

Its def a hole

cinder badger
#

The Moon is an eye

gaunt star
dim sigil
#

Its reall noticeable when watching the animation of the logo

untold gull
#

what are the chances it's gonna be another ancient architecture. also, i'm still holding on that hope that we're going underground - not moon but the planet's

dim sigil
#

Final boss will be unexpected to i like to think

cinder badger
#

There's a Crystal Palace

#

Crystal tower on the moon confirmed

floral aurora
#

Zodiarks true form has to look all messed up

untold gull
#

i'd be the radical that says there's a chance it's a boss like orphan in 13 where the two opposites combined to be one entity

cinder badger
#

Watch it look like a giant Elemental

untold gull
#

if there's crystal palace in 14 then we definitely gonna see allagans then

cinder badger
#

I bet you Promathia looked way cooler than Zodiark

languid breach
#

okay so I'm all for the WoL being incredibly powerful and all that, but fighting the entire Zodiark? Eeeeeeeh. Fighting a single reflection of Him sounds way more believable.

cinder badger
#

@languid breach no match for Azem

gaunt star
untold gull
#

in regards to that, i think people are likely to pray for our wol

#

and y'all know what prayers do

#

just hoping they don't use that as a plot point, that's gonna be...uh, weird and interesting at the same time

cinder badger
#

The warrior of light has become a primal

cinder badger
#

I will temper them all

floral aurora
#

Final boss?

#

I'm down for Anima being a final boss

gaunt star
#

Anima is a trial, unlikely to be the final boss

cinder badger
#

The final boss will be Zorc

gaunt star
#

They don’t reveal that till the expansion drops

floral aurora
#

Will the broken chains Anima better be a 2nd phase

#

XD

#

New players: She doesn't look so tough
Anima breaks her chains
New players: What the F#@$

#

I want that reaction

dim sigil
#

Zodiark will be innocence type "final" boss i think

floral aurora
#

Anima!

untold gull
#

i'd like to think that fandaniel is the innocence type final boss

#

just let me have an epic battlefield where i can drag that little shite's face on the ground

floral aurora
#

First Trial - some Magitek weapon maybe
Second Trial - Anima
Final Trial - Zodiark

cinder badger
#

meol "Did somebody say innocence?"

floral aurora
#

To be honest I think we will get some story instance trials

next quarry
#

I dont think the first trial is just magitek

floral aurora
#

3 doesn't feel like enough

next quarry
#

do you want magitek weapons?

#

smh

#

anima weapons would be cool

floral aurora
#

I'm guessing on the first one, I just know Anima isn't first

next quarry
#

how so

gaunt star
#

First trial- Anima

floral aurora
#

Because she's too nadass ti be the first

gaunt star
#

Second Trial- Lunar Bahamut (if not boss next patch)

floral aurora
#

XD

gaunt star
#

Third Trial- Zenos stealing Zodiark's power while we fight him stealing Hydaleyns

floral aurora
#

Lmao be funny if we fight one of Midgarsormr's children on the moon as a nod to fighting Bahamut on the moon in the old ff game

next quarry
#

what if we just fight lunar bahamut on the moon

cinder badger
#

And then during the final fight with Zenos we get into an epic sword fight and clash blades.

Then he looks to us and Whispers "Seven seconds until the end."

floral aurora
#

I'm cool with fighting some kind of Bahamut or one of the children on the moon

cinder badger
#

Maybe we have to fight Melbu Frahma.

unkempt pagoda
#

My only for wish for 6.0 is for DRK to get the old 3.0/4.0 version of Blood Weapon back, and for Delirium to get completely changed (like it always does)

#

Seriously, Delirium has been different in every expansion so far

gaunt star
#

same

#

At the very least give it charges like bunshin

unkempt pagoda
#

I'd love if it increased the duration of Blood Weapon by 8s, while also reducing the costs of our MP spenders by half

#

If the dps numbers don't meet the current iteration, they could buff the potency of Edge and Flood while Delirium is active.

More than anything, I want DRK's CD to have interactivity beyond copying a WAR skill =/

oak pike
#

you mean being a worse WAR skill 😏

unkempt pagoda
#

That too

autumn heron
#

What are the odds that whatever got Alphinaud his new job is also gonna be the thing that gets us to the moon?

gaunt star
#

NGL I don't want more power in delirium cuz playing around 90s is cursed

#

Ffiv did have a “Sage” on the moon but he wasn’t exactly called that

#

DRK rn is a 1/2-minute job that also happens to have a 90

oak pike
#

watch power shift is gonna be in TBN to make it curse

gaunt star
#

they absolutely won't make TBN unambiguously dps-neutral

#

er

#

positive

unkempt pagoda
#

TBN is absolutely fine as it is right now, yeah

#

But DRK is no longer the MP tank, at least in spirit

gaunt star
#

right now tbn is dps-neutral once every other minute, dps-positive once every other minute, and dps-negative at all other times

unkempt pagoda
#

Our MP bar is sorta there just to be there; MP regens so slowly compared to SB

oak pike
#

TBN is dps positive when?

#

when you bank an dark arts for raid buff?

gaunt star
#

you need to bank a DA proc to get 5 edges under buffs

oak pike
#

I see

autumn heron
#

DRK's MP bar is honestly just there so you cant spam TBN

gaunt star
#

and on odd minutes you ideally are only using 3 edges so whether you tbn or not doesn't affect your ability to do that

oak pike
#

like on paper DRK have everything I want in a tank, just I don't like playing it a lot of the times

#

eden verse DRK was fun

#

promise is eh rn

unkempt pagoda
#

Back in HW, managing MP was key to playing DRK. If you expended all your MP, you dropped Darkside

#

Plus, Dark Arts affected so much of our skills, it made DRK pretty unique

#

IMO PLD feels more like the MP tank now

oak pike
#

PLD mp management is dumping mp under magic buff

unkempt pagoda
#

PLD's MP seems more mechanically sound, even if it is rigid. Outside of pooling a single DA for raid buffs, DRK's MP is more or less non-existent, requiring very little thought to execute.

#

Like, PLD's MP phase fits its skillset so much nicer, and has a stronger core theme in PLD's kit. DRK's MP feels tacked on now that Dark Arts and Darkside are gone.

#

Plus, its next to impossible to drop Darkside in 5.0. You have to consciously not be executing your rotation to lose it.

oak pike
#

DRK probably gonna go through another gameplay change probably?

high swan
#

They should just remove MP from all jobs and give them their own resource

kindred meteor
#

lol

high swan
#

Just for....theme

oak pike
#

lol

kindred meteor
#

yeah that ain't happening

high swan
#

Why

unkempt pagoda
#

Cause FFXIV's engine is held up by sticks and miracles

#

They removed TP because it freed up server space

#

And because it just wasn't fun

oak pike
#

i thought tp was removed cause tp was dumb

unkempt pagoda
#

yeah, it only punished melee jobs more than anything

#

And Warriors xD

high swan
#

What jobs card about MP? Healers, DRK and BLM? Right?

#

Care

unkempt pagoda
#

PLD still needed MP for Flash

high swan
#

Oh yeah shit

unkempt pagoda
#

Old PLD aoe was so bad

#

PLD mains deserve a medal for enduring through those dark times

oak pike
#

didnt PLD pretty much got shit on since HW

kindred meteor
#

when PLD got Sword Oath before Shield Oath

#

:)

oak pike
#

cant block magic attacks

#

oh yeah stance dancing was a thing

unkempt pagoda
#

PLD also had no gap closer until literally 5.0

oak pike
high swan
#

How are they going to add new spells to the jobs? Alot of the rotations are right as AF

kindred meteor
#

and everyone got so hype for said gap closer

high swan
#

Tight

unkempt pagoda
#

I think they will make most of the core combos single-button presses like in PvP

high swan
#

Hah

oak pike
#

nah

odd yoke
#

Nah they said they'll never do that

#

They'll just colisadate and remove some of the lesser needed skills

unkempt pagoda
#

Really? It could free up space for new skills

#

Or at least new finishers

oak pike
#

you think war gonna get a new combo finisher

unkempt pagoda
#

FOr example, DRK could get Scourge back as a finisher

high swan
#

MCH and BLM feels so tight right now. I can't see how they would add morr

odd yoke
#

If they put pvp type stuff in PvE alot of high end people would quit as every job just becomes dpsing like a healer

#

Press one to win

kindred meteor
#

all they've said is they want to make cool skills like Passage of Arms

odd yoke
#

Probably do some more upgrades or something

#

And have actions turn into something else

oak pike
#

monk getting Booya POGGERS

kindred meteor
#

it'd be nice if MCH had an AoE button that gave Battery

#

tbh

high swan
#

True

odd yoke
#

Or an aoe turret again

high swan
#

Let it share a CD with chain shot or whatever it's called

#

Then an aoe mech, yeah

woeful dagger
#

New keyboard came in today ^^

high swan
#

Like a drone or something dropping bombs

kindred meteor
#

I feel BRD needs a lot of things

#

at this point maybe even a rework

odd yoke
#

I would feel like a few jobs getting mini reworks

#

Or at least a shift in direction

kindred meteor
#

Monk's changes in 5.4 may just be holdover for 6.0

odd yoke
#

I think they said that

#

Or the very least its opened the floor for Monk to actually get good stuff

high swan
#

RDM could do with more oGCDs. It's not busy enough

odd yoke
#

Instead of more flavours of QoL GL upkeep

heady shadow
#

monk: maybe will get good stuff in 6.0

#

reality: gets worse

kindred meteor
#

yeah and now Monk has a couple buttons that are hyper niche

#

SSS

heady shadow
#

good thing we are getting the new melee dps right?

oak pike
#

monks fists are going away calling it

kindred meteor
#

new Melee will be Maiming

odd yoke
#

Samurais and monks on watch

kindred meteor
#

they said that

#

since they said "Dragoon has been the only Maiming so we're slotting it in there"

autumn heron
#

they are just gonna do what they did before for the healers

high swan
#

Pls be a scythe user....

unkempt pagoda
#

Is it an actual new job, or a limited job?

autumn heron
#

upgrade some of the moves

odd yoke
#

Actual

autumn heron
#

real job

heady shadow
#

okay

#

gear type

#

doesnt matter

#

lol

unkempt pagoda
#

Oh snap, I've been gone so long

odd yoke
#

Inb4 its a new gear type to really fuck over melees

#

:)

autumn heron
#

yes

oak pike
#

if the new job is a scythe user i would've expected it to be a dex class

#

dark souls n shit

unkempt pagoda
#

We still don't have a hammer user yet

#

And Garleans like hammers

woeful dagger
odd yoke
#

We need hammers to bonk the Limsa people

autumn heron
#

too similar to WAR unfortunatly

oak pike
#

WAR have 1 hammer

woeful dagger
oak pike
#

i know

autumn heron
#

thats true WAR does actually have a hammer

unkempt pagoda
#

I dunno, a giant hammer can be pretty unique

high swan
#

What about a Berzerker or something. Dual wielding axes

autumn heron
#

thats not just glam its actually gear

#

WAR is very literally Berserker

heady shadow
oak pike
#

WAR does have a skill call berserk

high swan
#

I know, but I like the dual wielding berzerker aesthetic

woeful dagger
#

-24 is colder than -13

autumn heron
#

issue with jobs like Berserker is that many of the jobs in XIV are fusions of multiple jobs

woeful dagger
#

Once you hit level 60

autumn heron
#

like RDM has a lot of Rune Fencer shit

heady shadow
#

oh, well yeah

#

thats only 8F

oak pike
#

its berserk till 70

woeful dagger
unkempt pagoda
#

Hasn't Beastmaster been strongly hinted at?

autumn heron
#

DRK is normally a DPS yea

#

Nope

woeful dagger
#

They can just name something Berserker but it have nothing to do with the Job in other games.

woeful dagger
# autumn heron Nope

What do you mean nope, Yoshi-P used it as a direct reference to additional Limited Jobs

autumn heron
#

they stated themselves if they add beastmaster it will be a limited job

woeful dagger
#

And we have them in game now

autumn heron
#

yea but Im talking about real jobs

#

not meme jobs

woeful dagger
#

SE considers BLU a real Job sadly

unkempt pagoda
#

They'll likely have a hand axe as a weapon then

#

FIt with the huntsmen theme and all

kindred meteor
#

I still want Nero's hammer tbh

autumn heron
#

Since EW is the end of the story arc I think people are thinking to surface level

woeful dagger
#

why would you want Nero's hammer when Grynewaht's exists

autumn heron
#

Its probably not a scythe job

kindred meteor
#

Nero's hammer cooler

unkempt pagoda
#

Could be a mech-based class to fit with the Garlean theme

autumn heron
#

never forget

#

we got Samurai

high swan
#

If we think weapons, what hasn't been seen yet?

autumn heron
#

from Spiderman

high swan
#

Kusarigama?

#

A staff. But that's too close to a spear in some regard

oak pike
#

nah I saw the weapon gotta look heavy a bit

autumn heron
#

if its maiming they are gonna be using something heavy yea

woeful dagger
#

Well Sam Raimi and Samurai are close. People used the director meme to try and draw Templar from the shirts.

unkempt pagoda
#

Wait, did we get a weapon silhouette preview?

autumn heron
#

maiming is the tankier DPS glam

oak pike
#

nah

oak pike
#

no previwe

kindred meteor
woeful dagger
#

Maiming means it'll be a 2h weapon for sure.

oak pike
#

next job uses clubs

high swan
#

Unless they will give us some wild fantasy weapon like what the Sage got

kindred meteor
#

return to caveman

oak pike
#

oh the gundam funnels

woeful dagger
#

I don't think a Maiming job would use a magiteck weapon

#

I mean I guess a laser sword or something would count but eh

heady shadow
#

looks at the lvl 50 allagan stuff

unkempt pagoda
#

A magiteck class would fit the tankier melee theme pretty well though

high swan
#

What about a dual sword. Like then one from Star Wars

#

Uhhh

oak pike
#

watch it is Templar that uses a flail haha

heady shadow
#

double bladed?

woeful dagger
#

damn just finished Eden storyline and they drop Balamb Garden theme on me im tearing up

autumn heron
oak pike
unkempt pagoda
#

I'd actually love to see Templar. PLD doesn't smite enough heretics, they are too nice

high swan
#

Oh, it's already in the game? Didn't know

oak pike
#

judge armor is now in game

woeful dagger
#

I don't think they'll release a Job that is too similar to an existing Job.

autumn heron
#

Judge Armor is the current relic armor

woeful dagger
#

That's why the Maiming Job makes sense cause it will be completely different to DRG. But also it shouldn't have anything close to other melee Jobs, especially Tank Jobs.

#

So Scythe to me seems like not the play cause it will have theme overlaps with DRK.

#

Templar would overlap with PLD. And something like Berserker would overlap with WAR.

#

So it'll probably be either FF14 exclusive or just use a name but be nothing like that class is traditionally.

unkempt pagoda
#

My vote is still a magiteck class

oak pike
#

could pull another gunbreaker

kindred meteor
#

well we got 3 months til we know lol

oak pike
#

make a unique job based FF characters

autumn heron
#

MCH is explicitly based off Edgar from FF6

#

so its possible

oak pike
#

could be a job like tidus

high swan
#

Haha

tropic frigate
#

really liked the change to mch to edgar

oak pike
#

one hand a sword thats not a great sword or a long sword

tropic frigate
#

#

high swan
#

It's a ball

#

New job based off Wakka

unkempt pagoda
#

YES

autumn heron
#

Maybe Onion Knight will be the Blue Mage we wanted

oak pike
#

actually what type of sword tidus have if it can be one handed ?

iron scaffold
somber storm
#

tidus uses a sword and shield

autumn heron
#

He used a long sword but one handed it

#

woeful dagger
#

Tidus is just a Freelancer/Soldier

dim sigil
#

Tidus is pld

autumn heron
#

#

oak pike
#

dim sigil
#

woeful dagger
autumn heron
#

Im 100% sure Gaius will die

dim sigil
#

Why dont we have a solider uniform glam yet

oak pike
#

gaius will die

autumn heron
#

Fordola not so much

dim sigil
#

He will one day

iron scaffold
oak pike
#

actually gaius cant die

woeful dagger
#

Fordola will die to do some weird shit like "oh if I explode next to Zenos we cancel the Resonant out"

high swan
#

Gaius will die because his voice actor is to costly

oak pike
#

he gives quests that is not msq

woeful dagger
#

And Zenos loses the Resonant so he can die for real

woeful dagger
#

VAs don't matter at all in this game

autumn heron
#

dim sigil
woeful dagger
#

Ardbert made me feel existential dread in ShB

autumn heron
#

iron scaffold
oak pike
#

"we did everything right and we still fail"

woeful dagger

high swan

dim sigil
#

autumn heron
#

"We did everything right....Everything that was asked of us and still...STILL it came to this."

oak pike
#

woeful dagger
#

Cid changed yes lol

#

It's very noticeable

oak pike
#

good acting right there

obsidian pagoda
#

Ardbert has the best VA so far change my mind

heady shadow
#

Balthier Urianger wa sgood. but its fine

high swan
#

I've had enough of Cid. He shows up everywhere. They should just kill him off

autumn heron
#

woeful dagger
somber storm
#

Viera and viis voices

heady shadow

iron scaffold

#

I don't really like Runar's voice tbh, Lyna was alright tho

autumn heron
#

Im almost 100% sure the Werlyt storyline will become MSQ to start 6.0

high swan
#

Scandinavian voice acting must have been on sale

somber storm
#

Subtle Scandinavian accents be hot

oak pike
#

i liked lyna

obsidian pagoda
#

Nothing will sound as good as Fran's Bjork voice from XII

oak pike
#

yeyeyee

heady shadow
#

woeful dagger
obsidian pagoda
#

the XIV Scandinavian accents pale in comparison

somber storm
#

The viis sisters

autumn heron
#

#

thats her normal voice

woeful dagger
#

Just the main one has it. The other two have a very not-Scandinavian accent lol

oak pike
#

woeful dagger
heady shadow
#

woeful dagger
oak pike
#

tbh hate minfillia at the start of ShB then when she turned into ryne she became likable to me

autumn heron
#

in Bravely Second all the Lunarians speak french

#

and have french accents

woeful dagger
#

Edea is French in 8

high swan
#

Alright save the American accents for the new world. Stralians on the moon then

obsidian pagoda
#

Ishgardians have French names but they don't have the French accent so it's still free real estate

obsidian pagoda

I wonder if SE will do me a solid and have Gaia in 6.0 as well.
