listen you buy me that guitar I'll record myself playing it every single day for the rest of my life or until it breaks lmao

[thin token]

Reaper is kind of a compromise? You can control the void avatar or host it?

[woven escarp]

bozja content 💤 ishikawa Q&A 💤 new watch 💤 fender stratocaster REAL SHIT???

[unkempt sentinel]

I want the light waaaaaaaatch

[thin token]

dark mode or bust....

[terse cargo]

@thin tokeni dont think u will have control over it,it probbly fights on its own unless u merge with it which more then likely is a job gauge skill

[unkempt sentinel]

Chhht, the light one is better

[thin token]

Yeah its hard to say if it will have a pet hot bar or not.

[vivid notch]

I'm pretty sure the ghost is just a visual effect for some of the OGCDs

like it only appears in some of the abilities shown and those look like ogcds

[thin token]

Only thing I recall is that majority of dmg comes from the scythe.

[vivid notch]

and they said (I think in the interview?) that you build gauge and then spend it to use abilities

[terse cargo]

i mean to be fair,they probbly used the basic abilities in the video,we havent seen the full kit,but yeah still the odds of it being a semi controllable pet like egi's is probbly going to be low

[vivid notch]

so I'm guessing it'll be like the SAM Kenki abilities or the NIN scrollthingy

[severe brook]

a friend of mine had a guess that they could make the Void Avatar's appearance something that can be altered based on your weapon, like RDM's Catalyst
I think that'd be cool but also probably really hard to do, so it'd be pretty unlikely

[oak pike]

• While attacking on your own in melee distance, you accumulate some sort of gauge that will allow you to fight together with the Avatar. A design focused on building up hype during the battle
• We have a lot of members in our team that came from FF11, so obviously there are things we need to keep in mind and respect when it comes to a Scythe, but if we were to implement it half-hearted it would be disappointing so there are things were we completely went to an original direction
• I can't really comment on whether the WoL gets possessed by the Avatar, because if I say something now and we decide to change it till the release, people will complain
• Basically, keep attacking to build gauge, when that hits max you decide yourself where to bring in the Avatar
• Reaper is NOT a pet job and is different from SMN and MCH

[vivid notch]

could be something like DRK's Esteem or NIN's Bushin tho

[oak pike]

im leaning more bunshin

[severe brook]

what an on-point Fandaniel impression

[oak pike]

or could just be a gnashing fang thing

[vivid notch]

I'm guessing you have like
Ghost Attack 1 - 50 Bar
Ghost Attack 2 - 50 Bar
Henshin - 100 Bar

as your options

[wary perch]

Nice godbert cosplay

[vivid notch]

but it'd be cool if it unlocked a combo after your combo like GNB does with Continuation

[winged otter]

is there a channel coverin the live letter?

[unkempt sentinel]

Where is Bae urianger

[terse cargo]

@vivid notchby hensin would that be the merge skill then?

[gaunt star]

No it was English translated live

[thin token]

idk.. number 9 is pretty good or 6.

[terse cargo]

@winged otteralmost every event today has been english translated on stage

[gaunt star]

3 for me

[teal geyser]

Nah not at all because uh

• Reaper is NOT a pet job and is different from SMN and MCH
  I think this is clear in saying that it's not going to be like Esteem. I assume the Avatar will just be tied to specific actions and you just press the action and he does the move. No summoning him out where he'll attack by himself or anything and probably not a buff outside of the possession thing

[winged otter]

Ah okay it is because i wanted to read a resume of it

[vivid notch]

yeah that's what I think too

[vivid notch]

yeah the Ran'jit fusion

[terse cargo]

@teal geyser i mean esteem really isnt a pet either,he fights on his own with no actions from the tank

[gaunt star]

It only gets translated if it’s JP only, might be able to find it re uploaded tho somewhere

[vivid notch]

I do like that during henshin your melee combo changes apparently

[pastel coyote]

[vital timber]

I am normally quite terrible with being a melee DPS

[vivid notch]

I think Esteem and Queen from MCH are basically the same no?

[terse cargo]

nope

[teal geyser]

I mean....you could kinda call that a pet and Yoshi P does here when he says "MCH pet" which literally operates the same way. Technically I'd call it a glorified DoT though

[gaunt star]

i swear to god this guy looks like a character frmo a disney movie and i CANNOT put a finger on it and its driving me mad

[minor trellis]

:( r we really not getting any new playable races ever?

[teal geyser]

MCH and Esteem are literally the same thing

[vivid notch]

Farquaad?

[terse cargo]

automation queen actually has skills though,esteem does not

[carmine basin]

The dude with the bowl cut in shrek?

[teal geyser]

We got male Viera

[vivid notch]

we are getting femHroth down the line

[thin token]

Male Viera we got

[unkempt sentinel]

it looks like the vilain in pocahontas

[teal geyser]

sure but he still does skills, that's a pointless distinction

[gaunt star]

Ability showcase in E3?

[minor trellis]

ya but i mean after they said that was the final playable race and they will not be adding anymore*

[vital timber]

You can actually trigger some skills for the Queen. Esteem on the other hand does his own thing.

[teal geyser]

Oct ish

[gaunt star]

the outfit looked nearly exactly the same. my mind keeps going to captain hook but thats not right at all

[vivid notch]

wait but mine uses Abyssal Drain and Bloodspiller and the gap closer that I forgot the name of

[gaunt star]

That’s what they have said, but we are getting more female Viera and female Hrothgar tho (Hrothgar is unfinished and don’t know when it’s coming yet)

[teal geyser]

more female Viera
HMMMM

[minor trellis]

LOL

[plucky palm]

really?

[unkempt sentinel]

same energy lmaooo

[vital timber]

I find it quite interesting that the male Viera went first compared to Hrothgar.

[gaunt star]

not him

[terse cargo]

@vivid notchprobbly didnt explain it good enough,by skills im talking about whats shown on the machinst hotbar,esteem doesnt have that,if he uses drk skills its purely thru him

[teal geyser]

Viera are more fan popular

[vivid notch]

I mean they know their fanbase

[carmine basin]

They have to model each gear and every new one for each races, its time tasking and takes time away from other development so they decided not to add more after male viera and female hrothgar probably. These two were added after heavy demand too

[minor trellis]

female hroth and male viera were stated to be the final playable races and they won’t be adding anymore after they are completed/added in.

[vivid notch]

they know that the players want twinks more than they want buff furry ladies

[vital timber]

Unlike viera, we actually have female Hrothgar for reference in the form of the female Ronso in FFX and X-2

[gaunt star]

Am I wrong XD they look smaller and like little femboys

[vivid notch]

o fair lmao

[teal geyser]

Everything AQ does is purely through it, all you get extra is a button telling the queen to stop early

[vital timber]

Unless they wanna add something new to the fem Hroths.

[gaunt star]

They just aren’t finished 🙂

[minor trellis]

do u think we’ll get a hamster minion.... :( no hamster anywhere

[gaunt star]

I really like how the reaper clothes look.

[vivid notch]

wait

[woven escarp]

I still need to do my dumb gunblade I planned on doing a damn year ago

[somber storm]

Giant beaver

[wind bough]

Hrothgar don’t really look that much like Ronso, even if you use the Kimahri face

[flint iron]

Judging from the trailer it seem they are same size as catboi

[vivid notch]

we don't have a hamster minion?

[woven escarp]

so much for doing literally anything during quarantine

[terse cargo]

@teal geyser yeah but it shows u the skills,is kinda my point...esteem u hit a button and 20 seconds later he's gone on his own,AQ u at least know what skills it uses and yeah the destruction button,not trying to fully disagree with you here,i know its similar,but at the same time its also different 🙂

[vital timber]

I like to think that the dev team wanted to work on something more challenging before moving on to something easier. All the same, I am still gonna stick with my dragon boy

[minor trellis]

giant beaver is the closest but nope i don’t even know if hamsters exist in the worlds of final fantasy

[plucky palm]

man, we could have burmecians if it wasn't for male vieras

[vivid notch]

man now I'm sad that my guitar is fucking broken

I really should get it looked at

[vital timber]

Unlike those races, I still got options on how my hairstyles will be

[vivid notch]

or buy a new one depending on the price of repairs

[plucky palm]

or something better

[gaunt star]

Unfortunately ;-;
I’m one of the sad ones with the direction of the buns
But now it makes sense why they die so often XD

[minor trellis]

buy the 3.4k soken guitar ajshdhjd

[teal geyser]

AQ u at least know what skills it uses
Pretty sure Esteem goes through a set pattern of what skills he uses so....still the same

[vivid notch]

if I had the money for it I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[teal geyser]

and his skills are your skills so you know what they do

[vivid notch]

I'd go back in time and buy it before it was announced that's how fast I'd buy it

[wary perch]

That's a male veira lol

[vital timber]

Except you have no control over when to trigger them. Esteem is completely independent.

[gaunt star]

7 for the weeb meme lol

[thin token]

Might be a better investment for 3.5k over ethereum?

[vivid notch]

that's heretic talk

you buy that guitar you better fucking use it not keep it for reselling

[minor trellis]

cryptocurrency is unstable as fuck.

[terse cargo]

@vital timberAQ u have no control either,which is pretty much cal's point as well,u only control AQ on the self destruct...like i said i know what shes talking about,it just felt different to me

[teal geyser]

you have no control of when AQ does anything except the final bit which actually is the only other move I guess so never mind

[plucky palm]

did they scrapped burmecians just to please some rp weirdos?

[vital timber]

Hmmm... is that so?

[vivid notch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaIRKXKGyqE it's like the beginning of this scene

Nova Crystallis (@Nova_Crystallis)

Soken introduces a Fender Stratocaster guitar. It has a meteor mark, a neck made of a dark wood called rosewood. The body is has crystals embedded in it. Yoshida says Fender designed it with a theme of light and darkness and they came up with the crystals idea.

honestly if i had the money, i’d buy it and hang it up. i could never bear to see this thing being resold or used even

[plucky palm]

@minor trellis source for the no more races thing you said?

[vital timber]

A guitar is meant to be played

[terse cargo]

wait,so the guitar being talked about is actually an IRL item? wow...i was going off on maybe something bards could use in game as an actual kind of item

[gaunt star]

They’ve said it like three times XD

its both

[plucky palm]

fuck male vieras

[thin token]

It will be interesting to see the long term value. The fan base is more limited compared to other models I imagine given its FFXIV.

[plucky palm]

burmecians were a better option

[maiden lodge]

all of the above, Bard getting electric guitar in perform, but yeah, a 4k stratocaster is a thing now.

[minor trellis]

they are going to try to produce as many gortars as they can but it is safe to pre-order ASAP if u really want it

[vivid notch]

YES, thank you

[woven escarp]

I'm still going to buy it even though I have the musical talent of britney spears

[somber storm]

A guitar is meant to spread it's glorious tunes

[minor trellis]

https://bleedingcool.com/games/final-fantasy-xivs-hrothgar-and-viera-will-be-the-last-new-playable-races/ @plucky palm

[woven escarp]

deal w/ it 😎

[thin token]

I think anyone that legit wants one will have a great shot at it.

[somber storm]

I may get the guitar but I ain't a muso

[terse cargo]

@maiden lodge honestly,i dont see many being sold for that price unless your A,loaded or B...have the money to blow,4 thousand bucks for a guitar that you might never use and really just want it for the in game item is slightly overkill,even by instrament standards lol

[minor trellis]

yeah ofc lol if they have 3.5k of disposable dough just lying around

[vital timber]

What good is an instrument if you are just gonna hang it up like some trophy? You do that if it's already used up and can't function anymore as a sort of memento.

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, but, on the other hand, it's a Strat. Those sell for 1k USED.

[minor trellis]

i mean people hang up skateboards and shit all the time. it preserves the value and handmade-ship of the guitar/object. @vital timber

[thin token]

Collectors will buy stuff due to the nature of item and not necessarily their ability to use it.

[minor trellis]

people buy art just to hang it up so i mean there isn’t that big of a difference

[gaunt star]

They even said at last fanfest they weren’t gonna make more races, but, because of “earnest fans” they’re making male buns and female Hrothgar will be later

[minor trellis]

i doubt anyone would buy a professional musician’s instrument and still continue to use it.

[terse cargo]

@gaunt star i mean is it really considered a new race if its just adding genders though?

[maiden lodge]

Honestly, this is a very very very niche product, isn't pretending it isn't, so I don't see the problem

[gaunt star]

It’s not

[woven escarp]

a niche product I absolutely want lmao

[vital timber]

I suppose... not my place to judge, but still, it would be a complete waste. Like buying a fancy car and just having it stay in a garage. Maybe I am just too utilitarian?

[maiden lodge]

and yer the niche! Which is fine!

[maiden lodge]

I mean the guitar is built to be used too.

[vivid notch]

it should be a crime it's what it should be

[minor trellis]

i would never want to ruin something i spent 3.5k on... but that’s me

[thin token]

Exactly. Which is why I think any real musicians that want it will have the chance at it. Its not going to sell out in 10min to "collectors"/

[vivid notch]

you buy that you better fucking play it

[minor trellis]

if i buy it, it’s sitting safe in a glass box lmao

[maiden lodge]

It's also Fender's 75th anniversary guitar as well

[thin token]

At least play it once. Then you can shelf it.

[vital timber]

I never knew how to play a guitar myself. But I wouldn't mind starting now if someone got that for me as a gift.

[minor trellis]

thinking about it but i already preordered the Prime1Studio nier automata figure. i can’t buy another 3k+ collector’s item

idk how to play GuiTAR LOLOL

[vivid notch]

learn

[terse cargo]

@thin token scalpers....yep,i mean i would hope that bots wouldnt be a problem for this particular thing,but i for how expensive it is,it might deter them this time

[minor trellis]

no :)

[woven escarp]

this is why you'd never play this guitar

[chrome sundial]

I mean i wonder whe it comes to guitars like that, i gotta wonder if a musician would legit play it or just keep their hands off it to not run it. Like I have a replica of a Kirk Hammett guitar and I dont use it that often just because of it being a replica and such. i got others for that job

[woven escarp]

it's a SUPER rare collector's item because of the time it's being manufactured in

[vivid notch]

of course they'd play it lol

[maiden lodge]

The thing is, being numbered.... they know exactly who owns what

[chrome sundial]

Like if I found a TB-303..I sure as fuck ain’t playing that beauty. That’s staying in a box

[vital timber]

Of course they would. Why wouldn't they?

[vivid notch]

you buy fenders because they sound good

like this isn't an action figure to just sit there and look pretty, it's made to work and work well

[thin token]

That is a given but how many non FFXIV fans would pay much beyond MSRP for it? Plenty of other stratrocasters out there for them.

[vivid notch]

Fenders are expensive because they are good

[vital timber]

I always was under the impression collectors hold on to that stuff for a few years so that one day they can sell it for high prices.

[minor trellis]

i know absolutely nothing about guitars. i just think the ffxiv one looks beautiful. if i have the money to pay for it, i don’t think i’d ever play it bc i do not want to ruin it’s value.

[plucky palm]

does that means that if i keep annoying yoshi p for thief he's gonna add it?

[vivid notch]

its value is in its use

[woven escarp]

it's a 75th anniversary fender guitar, man, given that it's going to be a relatively limited production run and it's a custom electronics package it's going to be desirable just for how rare it is

[vital timber]

A guitar's true value lies in how beautiful it's tune is.

[wary perch]

Cute alisea

[terse cargo]

@plucky palmthats rogue

[minor trellis]

not that i would personally resell it bc i’m a hoarder but i don’t wanna ruin it. it’s like buying a new book, i don’t wanna bend it.

[maiden lodge]

Sure, they'll add it in 2014, and call it rogue.

[vital timber]

If left unused, it's just gonna be junk.

[vivid notch]

if you don't use the guitar as a guitar and instead keep it as a fancy poster its value is lost

[woven escarp]

its value is in having a rare item that nobody else has 😌

[vivid notch]

do you avoid reading the books you buy too?

[gaunt star]

I think NIN and MNK are far too similar to Thief XD
But you can try, be one of those Twitter weirdos

[minor trellis]

plus it’s my money lmao. i may order it just bc it’s pretty. but my money has been spent on the 3k+ nier automata prime1studio figure so i hope i will have enough dough...

[woven escarp]

if I have a rare book, like a first printing lord of the rings or some shit, yeah, nah, you don't read that book

[vital timber]

Assuming I had the cash though, I'd likely buy two of the guitars. One for personal usage and the other for display.

[woven escarp]

it goes on the shelf as a "look what I have" and you read a worthless copy of the book

[minor trellis]

honestly no lmao. the books i buy aren’t rare so idc

[thin token]

You can read it without ruining it

[maiden lodge]

also they already said Rogue IS Thief, but because of the guilds being official things, they can't really do a 'Thief's Guild' officially--so the guild is the Rogue's Guild... the Upright Thieves.

[vivid notch]

on rare books: if you buy that you are a piece of shit

[vital timber]

I have a limited edition of a book. And yet, I read it like any other book. Still got it's wear and tear. 🙂

[vivid notch]

donate that shit to a library or museum or something

[woven escarp]

what good is a first printing of a book to a library

[minor trellis]

wait but you’re contradicting yourself. if you buy a rare book, and don’t read it, then that’s fine. but if i preorder this guitar and don’t use it, it’s now therefore useless garbage?

[woven escarp]

libraries are for loaning books 🤔

[minor trellis]

lmao what’s so bad about buying something to not use. rich car collectors buy cars all the time and don’t drive them lmao

[vital timber]

Rare books are a case to case basis imo. AS someone who loves books, I would at least give it one full read before I shelve it

[vivid notch]

I don't remember if there are specific terms for a library that is also a collection of rare books and first editions like the London one

[frozen blade]

Sorry, I'm a dumbass; are they doing a job action trailer today or is that later?

[vivid notch]

please refer to the Fast and Furious scene I linked above

[maiden lodge]

There's no way jobs are ready for an action trailer 6 months out

[minor trellis]

i don’t feel like looking for that lmfao

[bold condor]

THE CUTIES

[frozen blade]

Right, okay. Thanks.

[tropic frigate]

you think it would be possible at E3?

[thin token]

Beyond what we got yesterday probably later.

[minor trellis]

my money i do what i want with the guitar :’)

[vivid notch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaIRKXKGyqE

[thin token]

Then buy one?

[plucky palm]

but rogue isn't a job and thus there's no point of using it after lvl 30

[maiden lodge]

five months out? Lawl no

[vivid notch]

no. Maybe August, would guess September or October

[minor trellis]

i gotta wait for it to be on pre-order sale first

[maiden lodge]

And?

[gaunt star]

Still in the game

[minor trellis]

lol which won’t be til later this year

[vivid notch]

even better, don't. These are limited, leave it for someone who'd actually use the fucking thing instead of letting it collect dust like a useless piece of junk

[thin token]

Use a VPN and JP address to get a "ultra rare... made in japan model... /s"

[minor trellis]

they’re pre-order / made to order anyways so

i’m japanese so i might just get my relatives to order it for me and send them the money lol

[plucky palm]

still i'm gonna make a movement in-game and on twitter so they add thief
if some weirdos can get male bunnies for crying out so loud then it has to work

[vivid notch]

it's an anniversary edition so I wouldn't doubt they stop making them at the end of next year

hopefully they will keep making them to order but I have my doubts

[thin token]

We got NIN... Seeing a THF job is a pipe dream.

[torpid yoke]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TImbY9x-Eeg

[maiden lodge]

The difference is when viera were announced, they said they might actually be able to make the missing genders a thing.

They literally said Rogue is Thief. And yes, it matches Final Fantasy history to make Thief into Ninja.

[gaunt star]

Well we already had female buns, so we are just getting the other half, and we already have thieves in game and I doubt people would go for that when more people want beastmaster and other classes over thief

[vivid notch]

I bet Alex and Husky will get one each

[sonic bone]

wish people would grow up about the viera and stop making people feel like shit for liking it

[cosmic herald]

So many red catboys

[vivid notch]

I hope they do anyway

[minor trellis]

femboy bunny is OP

[vivid notch]

isn't NIN Thief's evolution back in FFI?

[maiden lodge]

exactly

[gaunt star]

People can like whatever they like, people can dislike whatever they like, only thing that matters to you is what YOU think ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[woven escarp]

the problem is that male viera were always doomed because fujoshi thought they were getting smol shota buns instead of flat female viera, and everyone else is ambivalent about the existence of male viera

[thin token]

Even in FFXI the NIN and THF jobs had close relations. The FFXIV NIN job uses some of the stuff seen in FFXI THF.

[vivid notch]

also NIN literally has the Job Ability from Thief, Steal

[woven escarp]

so now they've all moved on to being like "why did you waste time on this instead of hats" because they don't want to get caught out saying they wanted shota buns

[maiden lodge]

also Trick Attack

[vivid notch]

tru

[sonic bone]

yeah thats what it seems like

[vivid notch]

and assassinate lmao

[minor trellis]

wait but the male buns are twinks and shorter than female buns.....

[woven escarp]

they thought the dimorphism would be the inverse of au ra

[minor trellis]

whats the problem w fujoshis ajshdhdhsjs

[tropic frigate]

its a good thing they are different to be honest in that way

[gaunt star]

Unfortunately ;-;

[woven escarp]

where males are much smaller than females

[minor trellis]

ohhhh ok

[slate ridge]

would we see the job actions trailer in october? since ew is coming out in november

[tropic frigate]

instead of tall males and small females they really seem to make it look different

[maiden lodge]

you're not exactly being fair and mischaracterizing a lot of people here.

[wheat agate]

yes they announced that during the PLL

[plucky palm]

but could they branch rogue?

[left lynx]

Anything interesting from today's presentation aside from the schedule reveal? (and the Regalia)

[woven escarp]

the hat thing only blew up as soon as people saw male viera

[tropic frigate]

dont exactly know how their height fairs completely but i think its safe to assume males are smaller

[maiden lodge]

The people complaining about hats on female viera and male hrothgar are NOT the same crowd wanting mini-bunny-twinks.

[forest magnet]

5 WAS ROBBED

[vivid notch]

guitar

[maiden lodge]

That's straight wrong, given that just over a week ago, Zepla made a video in response to it.

[left lynx]

Guitar?

[vivid notch]

guitar

[tropic frigate]

also i wanted both races to be expanded but hoping they fixed hats first

[somber storm]

gonna be a lot of wonderwalls in Limsa

[vital timber]

I got 2 weeks to work on on my DRK relic

[left lynx]

so new BRD weapon instrument?

[tropic frigate]

i seen wonderwall played already lul

[left lynx]

oh a literal guitar

[vital timber]

I am just curious what the GNB relic will finally look like

[gaunt star]

A deep part of me wishes they never made Viera and Hrothgar and just expanded character customization instead. We need more faces/facial features for our existing races

[vivid notch]

also a new BRD instrument for performance yes but also a physical legit Fender Stratocoaster

[left lynx]

ah

[woven escarp]

yeah, I don't know why they even made viera/ronso

[tropic frigate]

bro i hope they expand current customizations

[maiden lodge]

Hell people on this server have been complaining about the lack of hats for over a month, so no, this didn't just 'blow up' recently.

There was a discussion in this exact channel yesterday morning. Seriously.

[vivid notch]

and a housing item

[gaunt star]

I wanted Viera and Hroth to be fixed first, then consider the additional genders and I’m also sad because no buff bunbois to perv at XD

[woven escarp]

just opened more problems

[vital timber]

I like the viera and hrothgar, but I am not fond of the fact that they have limited hairstyles to them.

[mighty light]

I mean
They've done as much with Viera and Hrothgar as they've done with any new race

[vivid notch]

sorry, Stratocaster not coaster lmao

[torpid yoke]

well they wanted to make Hrothgar but people wanted viera so thats why

[dusky jasper]

so is reaper basically just dervish from gw1?

[vital timber]

I was thinking about that, yeah.

[torpid yoke]

In a different timeline we got both male and female rothgar in shb

[dusky jasper]

like the whole concept, avatars, scythe, building up guage to turn into avatar lol

[gaunt star]

Hats and hair disagree

[maiden lodge]

More accurately, female hrothgar weren't working out.

[plucky palm]

and female only vieras

[maiden lodge]

So they gave us viera instead of botching femhroths.

[mighty light]

Hats and hair can disagree all they want; they've received full areas and major storylines.

[gaunt star]

Least they’re working on them still

[minor trellis]

wait why havent they made hats for viera? is it hard to create models for them to work with the ears?

[unreal rivet]

so wasn't there supposed to be a live letter for 5.55?

[maiden lodge]

Viera work differently on a basic level.

[vital timber]

Without them clipping awkwardly?

[minor trellis]

i never played viera so im not sure of the huge ordeal over not being able to wear hat

[clever flume]

already happened

[torpid yoke]

we got it. U missed it

[vivid notch]

already happened lmao

[thin token]

Live letter was at 1:50 GMT

[mystic heath]

I can't believe my cosplay was featured lmao

[maiden lodge]

It's not 'clipping', it's that Viera work in such a different way that they can't just 'do the other thing they've done'

[unreal rivet]

I mean yeah but I can't find any news for it so I asked

Nah thats in the perfect alternate timeline

About 90% of hats don’t work on Viera or Hrothgar

[chrome sundial]

[vital timber]

Some Hrothgar can use helms at least

[dusky frigate]

I knew G'raha was acting sus in the trailer...

She’s been dead since ARR tho

[maiden lodge]

HW

She's the only one keeping those idiots from homelessness lol

[gaunt star]

Was it HW?

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, when she went to the First.

[maiden lodge]

[rain onyx]

I thought she died and then became the voice of the mother

[maiden lodge]

She goes to the First in 3.4.

[late trail]

stupid sexy Innocence

[gaunt star]

All I remember is boobs and no more Waking sands XD

[maiden lodge]

She was alive, she's volunteering to be used by Hydaelyn in that role.

[oblique sedge]

Wait. The song name is hadeez?

[plucky palm]

can we get #thiefjobxiv on trending?

[tropic frigate]

no i just said that because hades

[dusky frigate]

Why, we have Rogue

[oblique sedge]

Oh. Checking

[rain onyx]

Nah

[chrome sundial]

Pray return to the waking sands

[forest magnet]

hadeez nuts

[dusky frigate]

[untold tide]

We are not getting thief job. We already have ROG/NIN.

[maiden lodge]

During the Sharlayan Graha parts you can hear 'one brings shadow one brings the light' and that leitmotif throughout

[oblique sedge]

I need to know this songggg

[vital timber]

Rogues are another word for "Thief" in many RPGs

[oblique sedge]

But during the thancreds part

[minor trellis]

pugilist in ffxiv? boring. playing as tifa in ff7r? amazing. best combat tbh. least boring.

[maiden lodge]

You mean the ARR leitmotif?

[tropic frigate]

thancreds is torn from the heavens

[dusky frigate]

During Thancred's part it's Maker's Ruin leitmotif

[minor trellis]

are we getting more soken performance later?

[tropic frigate]

whatever its called

[dusky frigate]

LA HEE

[thin token]

They mentioned he would play the new guitar later on.

[plucky palm]

that won't stop me because rogue is not a job and if weirdos can get what they want then so i can

[minor trellis]

[wary perch]

@plucky palm

[untold tide]

Darko salty much?

[sonic bone]

ok chill out

[untold tide]

[teal geyser]

Okay you do remind me though I will die on the hill that ninja run animation should be togglable because the rogue one is infinitely better

[dusky frigate]

The only weirdo is you thinking a trending tag on Twitter would actually make a difference, lol

[maiden lodge]

Honestly, you just sound salty that someone got what something that was legitimately missing from the game that people have talked about as a pain point for two years. Calling them weirdos doesn't help you.

[tropic frigate]

ninja run really should have a toggle

why out of all jobs did it get that treatment

[minor trellis]

everyday i dream of modding ffxiv just so i can become a hamster girl

[woven escarp]

nin sprint is the most menacing animation in the game

[oblique sedge]

Ooohh okay

[torpid yoke]

I always forget that makers ruin is part of torn from the heavens

[bold condor]

ngl I think both rogue and nin generally have terrible run anims EXCEPT for the Lalafell NIN run

[maiden lodge]

More so than Omega charging Larboard Wavecannon?

[woven escarp]

like, just look at it

[oblique sedge]

Oh yeah it's the song from the super long msq no one likes

[teal geyser]

The rogue one is okay
Ninja one is just straight trash

[dusky frigate]

They all look like they came out of Naruto tho

[torpid yoke]

Rouges run animation is just the gld run iirc

[bold condor]

I like the ninja one more.

[woven escarp]

knives out, dead eyes, prepared for murder

[oblique sedge]

I prefer rogue run.

[restive shuttle]

Should I hold onto my original ARR Fantasia until EW?

[maiden lodge]

For the record, the ninja run or the 'naruto' is a really old anime meme Naruto just repeated.

[oblique sedge]

Yes

[bold condor]

The rogue one is generic af but it should be toggleable.

[tropic frigate]

surprised you havent used it

[maiden lodge]

Naruto just gets credit for it cause it got popular.

[bold condor]

no kawaiian, all ninja tropes are from naruto

[flint iron]

What the point of thief anyway when you can't steal anything

[dusky frigate]

No one cares about the history tho, they just like their ninjas lel

[bold condor]

it invented ninja like dbz invented saiyans stupid

[maiden lodge]

I stand corrected, I forgot Naruto invented ninja.

[oblique sedge]

I wanted to be an assassin. :(

[bold condor]

believe it

[plucky palm]

What's the point of ninja if you can't throw weapons?

[dusky frigate]

What

[teal geyser]

Like all I really want for job changes is just togglable nin run and make job poses and stuff available for all genders :(

[bold condor]

several jobs would make excellent assassins

[oblique sedge]

There is a skull that throws shurikens

[iron scaffold]

So we have guitars

[flint iron]

They literally throw shuriken 🤣

FF3:

[bold condor]

Yeah it's not the first time they've used another race's facial features on a different model. Garleans, obviously, but also Ardashir from the HW Relic quests uses an Au Ra female face.

[maiden lodge]

Also that's not a model

[bold condor]

And Aymeric's face is a modified Au Ra male's.

[torpid yoke]

Never knew that

[stuck yarrow]

Yeah they’ve done it before

[teal geyser]

Gaia has...Viera stuff no?

[stuck yarrow]

The hair looks p similar too

[turbid aspen]

she uses some viera animations yeah

[torpid yoke]

You know now that i think about it i actually see the au ra in aymerics face

[stuck yarrow]

Not to mention that garleans are Hyur heads on elezen bodies

[vivid notch]

isn't the first NIN to do it Shadow in 6?

[plucky palm]

he said that thief is pointless because it couldn't steal stuff but forgot that most jobs are completely differentbto their previous appearances

[flint iron]

Thick mouth ?

[vivid notch]

or does someone before that hve Throw Weapon?

[maiden lodge]

Throw? No, it's Edge.

[dusky frigate]

Oh, they do seem freakishly tall for Hyur

[turbid aspen]

not every garlean is fuckoff huge

[maiden lodge]

Throw is a common thing for Ninjas to do but it's not really their signature, their signature is dual wielding.

[heady shadow]

Reminder Yugiri's old model was miqote

[stuck yarrow]

And on a smaller scale a lot of npcs will wear hairs exclusive to other races because fuck you

[maiden lodge]

Often Throw is the way some ninja use their Ninjutsu, like Shadow, and FF5, but in FF14 they went the opposite, making Ninjutsu its own thing and then having Throw Fuma Shuriken as one of its abilities

[wary perch]

Ninja has 3 throwing skill

[vivid notch]

gods I completely forgot about Edge lmao

[maiden lodge]

So did Rubicante

[wary perch]

Range kunai throw, Aoe knife throw and suriken

you throw shurikens through ninjutsus

I'll be honest, other than Lydia, Cecil and Kain I don't remember anyone from the party in IV

[maiden lodge]

That's what I said yes.

[vivid notch]

wait there was the old man right? or was that FFV? I remember that V has an old man

[dusky frigate]

Galuf?

[plucky palm]

i thought you said shurikens were sepparated from ninjutsus

[stuck yarrow]

It was interesting that the male Viera seemed to have unique animations as far as I saw
Don’t Fem Viera reuse a lot of Hyur animations?

[gaunt star]

IV has two old men!

[maiden lodge]

Tellah, yes.

[gaunt star]

And FuSoYa

[dusky frigate]

Tellah is IV no?

Not a playable tho!

Fair.

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, was just playing it last night. 'You Spoony Bard'

[vivid notch]

lmao nice

I'm gonna redownload it to play before Endwalkers, but not sure what version to go with

I'll probably go with the DS one undubbed since it has more content

[plucky palm]

the psp one has the most content

it has everything fron the gba port + new dungeons unlike the ds version

[maiden lodge]

No it doesn't. The most content is on the GBA or PSP versions.

[gentle temple]

What about old women?
Or even any over like 30

[plucky palm]

the only thing that thebds version has over the psp one is 2 suoer bosses

[maiden lodge]

The DS one only adds the augment system which is bad.

The extra endgame dungeon is GBA or PSP

[plucky palm]

a fusion between the four fiend and the giant of babil

[maiden lodge]

meh

[gaunt star]

GEE THANKS I FEEL SO OLD NOW cries in 30yo woman

According to executive producer Takashi Tokita (scenario writer of the original release), 3/4 of the original script had been cut from the Super Famicom release, but some of this lost material was reworked into the remake, while some new events were added. The player has the ability to use the Nintendo DS stylus to move around similarly to the Final Fantasy III remake, while the new minigames require use of the stylus.

FF wiki that said it not me

[plucky palm]

the ds version is harder too

[maiden lodge]

According to people who played all versions, the GBA has the extra dungeon, and the ability to swap characters for the final dungeon. The DS version has a thing that when a character leaves you get augments that let you equip their abilities on others (not a very good system tbh)

[plucky palm]

which tbf can be positive or negative depending on your taste

the ds version is considered one of the hardest ff games

[maiden lodge]

The PSP version also has After Years so if that's a thing you care about... have at'er

[vivid notch]

Some changes and additions to the Nintendo DS release include the introduction of a new ability system called Augments, increased difficulty level with new enemy attack scripts and increased enemy stats, changes to the equipment system, the summon Whyt, which makes use of the DS touch screen, and the aforementioned New Game Plus. With the DS version the team wanted to appeal to the old users; if the game was too easy there wouldn't be much play value to older fans, so the difficulty level was ramped up to appeal to both new and old players.[3]

yeah I'm probs going with the DS one

[maiden lodge]

Whyt is kinda ass.

I mean you do you, of course.

[pine epoch]

PC version doesn't have whyt

[plucky palm]

never play any ff port please

[somber storm]

some ports do be better though

[pine epoch]

I've never had trouble with any of squares ports

[plucky palm]

the ps1-ps3 era ones sucks

[pine epoch]

FFV and FFVI however the art styles are butchered in pc

[plucky palm]

the only decent one is xii

[maiden lodge]

The remasters were pretty decent

[warm bone]

i played FF5/6/7 on an emulator

frequent crashes, do not recommend

[maiden lodge]

FF8 had a decent remaster as did 10

[plucky palm]

they messed up character models

[maiden lodge]

Zodiac Age though is like, hands down one of the best ways to play that game

[pine epoch]

Besides the stupid art style change. FFV and FFVI port arent bad

And have all the GBA updated

[maiden lodge]

The Advance series of ports were all good though, if you don't mind the tinny music chip

[plucky palm]

the 2013 rerelease of viii is better than the remaster

[pine epoch]

If you dont wanna buy pc versions just emulate

That's your 2 options. Or buy some copy on ebay

[pulsar current]

I’ll never play the nes ones

[plucky palm]

the psp remasters are good

[maiden lodge]

ps1 port of FF1 is good, and the Dawn of Souls/PSP versions were good too.

[pulsar current]

Ye. Ff3 is decent on the DS

[plucky palm]

if i talk about bad ff ports i talk about recent ports

[pulsar current]

Ah

[plucky palm]

ffvii on new platforms is blurry and the models look ugly

[maiden lodge]

War of the Lions is a good port unfortunately marred by issues of lag and sound.

[eternal stag]

5.5 is the last patch before 6.0 right? if so, does that mean from may till November theres no new updates?

[maiden lodge]

Other than minor qol stuff, and Data Center Travel, pmuch.

[gaunt star]

We have 5.55-56-57-58 left

[plucky palm]

ffviii has the same problems as viii

[subtle pasture]

5.55 is the last content patch, including Zadnor, 5.5 part 2, and a handful of other epilogues/fillers-- 5.57 is due for July-ish and 5.58 for August-ish but both are QoL and some infrastructure- largely uncapping current weekly things and implementing backbones for DC travel, probs

[maiden lodge]

Those will mostly be updates to drop rates/diamond mount buy/savage locks opening.

[maiden lodge]

I dunno, I thought it was fine?

[gaunt star]

Aye ^.^ and we have some in game seasonal events too

[maiden lodge]

It looked fine. It wasn't anywhere near Secret of Mana Remake levels of bad

[eternal stag]

Yea, that's rough, really sucks that it got pushed back due to circumstances, Summer was the perfect time as a Uni student

Now it releases right before final exams ._.

[subtle pasture]

also the schedule gave monthly events/updates from here to launch, with October purposefully kept dark bc that's gonna be a media tour, they said

[plucky palm]

ix models look nice, but the menus and prerendered backgrounds look so ugly

[subtle pasture]

so pog for new content in Oct \o/

[maiden lodge]

Which is good, cause that means you're free once exams are over

[eternal stag]

Oh, im one of those people who rush to get crafters up and grab market

[gaunt star]

Please gib All Saints Wake ;-;

[eternal stag]

So im not sure if it'll be that good fighting with time to study vs grinding ._.

[plucky palm]

i deleted ix from my pc because of how awful the menus are compared to the ps1 version

[subtle pasture]

actually even, anyone get the schedule slide form the LL

[vivid notch]

I remember that FF6 the best version is from the GBA right?

[plucky palm]

yes

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, all the advance versions are quality

FFIV Advance base is apparently pretty shit

Unless the sound desynching and the slowdown bothers you.

Oh though, Ill get a new pc before November, so atleast I can get ffxiv in 1440 with better fps woop woop!

[vivid notch]

the EU version is fixed apparently and Japan has a second version that fixes some of the problems

[maiden lodge]

It's not, at all--it's actually one of the best versions of FF4 out there.

[gaunt star]

Someone posted it earlier I forgot to grab it ;-;

[plucky palm]

wotl is good indeed, only problem is the delay when you cast a spell

[maiden lodge]

sound plays........ effect starts

[woven escarp]

I already have fender's site open waiting for the preorders to start

[subtle pasture]

found it,

[maiden lodge]

WoTL on the other hand... it's localized by our boy Michael Christopher Koji Fox

[subtle pasture]

...this should be pinned somewhere, I imagine

[vivid notch]

again, not me saying it: Some minor bugs were introduced, notably in the battle system, possibly as a result of merely porting the game from an existing platform instead of fully optimizing the game for the Game Boy Advance hardware. Examples include party members' turns being skipped and randomly being given two (or, less frequently, more) turns in a row for a single character. There is also some jerkiness while flying airships (more so when going left and right than up and down) and during menu navigation (in and out of battle). The latter makes it less effective to select spells or weapons during fast-paced Active Mode battles. Furthermore, some minor "artistic license" was taken with the soundtrack (the Tower of Babil and Sylph Cave/Summoned Monster Cave themes each have one altered note). Minor lag during boss battles is present. The North American and Australian version of the game has a debug room.

[subtle pasture]

can't think which channel tho

Still, remaster soundtrack with ability to select original

[bold condor]

I honestly prefer FF4's 3D version. I get that there's more content in the PSP one though.

Might be worth consideration, though.

[maiden lodge]

I bet you'd like the PSP version more if it had a struggle vs Zenos's badonkadonk!

Who am I kidding, that's actually my own wish fulfillment there.

oh I meant as far as "why is X technical aspect like this" memes

[tropic frigate]

i do not think so its castrum litore

[quick blade]

It'll be base difficulty, but they confirmed new armor sets.

[subtle pasture]

Dalriada likely won't, yeah. But Zadnor will have duel CE's

During the last fan festival, Ishikawa asked players to complete the Crystal Tower series before Shadowbringers. No specific requirement this time, but there's a lot of things you'll pick up on if you play all the raid storylines, job quests, Save the Queen etc.

However, if she had to narrow it down, she suggests the Binding Coil of Bahamut to get a better idea of the family dynamics between Alphinaud and Alisaie - especially since Endwalker will have us travel to Old Sharlayan.

The second recommendation is the Omega raid series with possible connections to Midgardsormr's First Brood -- of which Vrtra is the youngest. We're travelling to the Moon , specifically Mare Lamentorum so there are connections there.

[untold tide]

I am deaf. One of downside that i cant understand what english are saying on live without subtitle.

[soft maple]

Ty!

[untold tide]

Thank Rin. that what i am looking ofr.

[woven escarp]

I mean, yeah, but it's also easier to slap down dumb questions like "can we play as children" (no) and "what about playing as hybrid races" (also no)

it fills the time and makes it seem like the players are being heard

[hollow plank]

Same here, I am trying to translate some for my friend, but they don't always show the face when spoken in English.

[subtle pasture]

maybe squeeze in a fem hroth concept art

-I can dream,

[gaunt star]

I predict female Hrothgar before 6.3

[polar crater]

Weren't these supposed to be asked by people live? Like that was the stipulation that kept me from submitting a question!

[dawn wave]

they are live on zoom

[thick coral]

Be careful regarding certain types of questions. "Play as children" is a bad question, not "dumb," because of certain bad subjects. "Play as hybrid race" isn't a bad question, but an impractical result. It should be easier to handle the latter question, unlike the first, whose only correct answer is, appropriately, "No."

[maiden lodge]

Question: How do you come up with expansion names and what rejected names do you have?
Basically, Yoshi P is explaining that he comes up with the expansion name early, and then the content revolves around it as a theme. Starting with the japanese titles.

[hasty totem]

Hmmm

This is actually insightful

[neat salmon]

did they ever post the zoom link xd

[maiden lodge]

This is a great answer

[polar crater]

Is it? Is this person asking multiple questions?

[dawn wave]

ofc not lol

[subtle pasture]

the preselection lets 'em give more robust answers too, nice.

[woven escarp]

I thought the names were chosen based on copyright requirements

[maiden lodge]

No, this person asked a simple question with a REALLY deep dive answer

[wary perch]

I'm gonna crash onto my bed and skip to primal concert

[thick coral]

That, too

[neat salmon]

sadge i thought iwas gonna be actual live qna

[woven escarp]

koji went over this at fanfest for stormblood, if I recall

[maiden lodge]

He's saying that for English now yeah

[polar crater]

Oh I thought they were the person reading out questions.

[gaunt star]

Give me the zoom link I’ll ask the real questions

[maiden lodge]

'people can't mess up Stormblood'

[polar crater]

I've only gotten my question answered once but it led to the creation fo the Hunt system, so I can die whenever.

[gaunt star]

Feel bad for summoners rumored to be losing their pets come 6.0. .

[soft maple]

"Stormbud?"

[polar crater]

HAHAHAHAHA. Not happening. Like ever. It wouldn't be a summoenr then. What a dumb rumor.

[vital timber]

We would have different ways on how pets can be used.

[dawn wave]

awkward zoom issues

[gaunt star]

Gee almost as if maybe zoom wasn’t the best idea

[vital timber]

That said, I don't seem to find much use in Titan-egi anymore.

[hollow plank]

What was the question asked for this guy?

[polar crater]

theoretically solo content.

[neat salmon]

tbh its better than just reading comments lol

[dawn wave]

he wants to know if there’ll be more ff villains used as bosses in xiv

[neat salmon]

@vital timber downtime during ulti mechanics ig

[vital timber]

Only when he taunts the enemies for me.

[fast rampart]

lmfao

[polar crater]

I feel bad for Red Mage rumored to be losing their swords come 6.0.

[soft maple]

He tells a speech

[maiden lodge]

This is actually not bad so far.

[gaunt star]

I think the rumor has to do with some people saying the reason they arent doing Egi glamour is because it wont work with planned changes for the SMN class. Not sure what the source of the rumors is on that front though.

[maiden lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[vital timber]

Hang on, people use Titan-Egi in Ultimate?

[hasty totem]

Yes

[soft maple]

For every question

[hasty totem]

Titan-Egi is useful

[vital timber]

Hmmm..... interesting.

[soft maple]

How do you use it in Ultimate?

[vital timber]

Never done Ultimate before so I am curious.

[polar crater]

Egi glam has been abandod for 6 years. And we know the reason, it's unfair to other classes to dedicate resources like that unless some dev goes out of their way and dedicates their own time to it like with majong and male viera.

[fast rampart]

yo i heard that dancer are losing their dances in 6.0?

[subtle pasture]

yeah, this is actually a good answer too

knowing they don't usually go out to make references, but find where they could naturally go in the narrative

[neat salmon]

@soft maple in scenarios where you have more than 30 seconds of downtime you use the shield to soak dmg

[hasty totem]

Earthern Armor is especially good

[flint iron]

Titan is use in first phase of uwu

[subtle pasture]

...sideeyes Magus Sisters

[dawn wave]

guys i heard paladins were losing their shields in 6.0

[soft maple]

Gotcha

[gaunt star]

I feel bad for all the BLM’s having their weapons swapped for the WHM ones, because they feel sorry for giving WHM’s the bad ones

[neat salmon]

wormhole stack can kill casters back in 5.1 if they miss some heals/shield

[flint iron]

They already is with emperor shield

[bold condor]

better ask yoshi-p to confirm

[gaunt star]

You say as we have Preform which is BRD content technically

[soft maple]

What was the question?

[dawn wave]

what was this guy’s question lol i was crunching on a chip and didn’t hear

[hasty totem]

Ah

[odd verge]

rip yoshi p

[deft burrow]

why was the bird in ramuh savage

[hasty totem]

That person will have to refer to the interview I translated

[devout musk]

i will now proceed to post two images.

thank you.

[subtle pasture]

Oh, Raiden?

[hasty totem]

YoshiP no longer directly involved himself in the battle design anymore

[austere badge]

Does anyone know if the newly released fanfest merch such as the job stone magnets will be limited time or forever?

[hasty totem]

That's why he'll have a hard time.

[polar crater]

Shrug, it's just what yoshi said a long time ago.

[fast rampart]

amaurot if they adopted modern urban design techniques

[odd verge]

lmao I can feel YoshiP just saying whatever at this question

[polar crater]

New egi, what?

[dapper abyss]

more like amaurot's ruins on the source

[subtle pasture]

Yeah, like an egi with a shock tether, I get the vibe it was trying to throw down

[bold condor]

Too many head injuries smh

[maiden lodge]

He's basically saying the idea of Ramuh in Eden was that of lightning itself--that the elements in there are lightning things

[dawn wave]

wol needs therapy

[fast rampart]

amaurot's gotta be buried under or near limsa right? corresponds with kholusia and we go there in endwalker apparently

[graceful canopy]

Silly question and he made up some weird link haha

[subtle pasture]

...That was Raiden, right, the sprite-thing that targets highest stacks and kills if it gets in melee?

[oak pike]

The hint was pretty strong, it's the fairie home on the source.

[dapper abyss]

or in the clouds above it, if it was lifted up and out

hmmmm there is a floating city of nym there after all

In the sea a bit to the SW.

You’re all welcome for your want of chicken nuggets now :3

[polar crater]

Please. Look. Forward. To. It.

[dawn wave]

i hope these easy questions are only at the beginning and they get more interesting later

[graceful canopy]

tl;dr i like blowing shit up in excess xD.

[dawn wave]

the fans got called by number, but they weren’t in numerical order

[odd verge]

ok it is really wholesome when he just starts geeking about old PC games

[maiden lodge]

He understands the caster main.

[gaunt star]

Hard agree, shows his passion for video games ^.^

[raven shadow]

Lowkey I'm really hoping someone asks a more technical question about the game itself like menu, animation changes, being able to save housing designs or something. ;I

[odd verge]

wait fuck we have spanish press but no localization

[iron scaffold]

To some it's wholesome but to a RPer it like remembering Vietnam war

[paper dagger]

Haven't been paying attention, any decent questions so far? My time at SOELive scarred me as to the stupid crap I hear often.

[maiden lodge]

Probably be better to ask when they have the UI guys on or... well you know

[soft maple]

"Will you ever nuke the game again?"

[maiden lodge]

And now he's answering his high and low points from his tenure on the game which, is also interesting.

[odd verge]

YoshiP went like stupidly in depth about the expansion name question lmao

[polar crater]

If it's been 10 years and you can't come up with a better solution, there wasn't one!

[paper dagger]

Ohhh Jesus Chris...

[subtle pasture]

these have been very insightful-- but yeah they're not getting all 30 in the hour

[dawn wave]

what was yoship’s answer to the first part of the question? worst memory....?

[neat salmon]

housing release

[clever flume]

eanae is transcribing in #translations-and-liveletters

[paper dagger]

I'll watch the vod where I can skip questions like that

[neat salmon]

legacy servers had higher prices to reduce gil inflation

[clever flume]

so if you missed something can give a looksee in there (though its not complete)

[polar crater]

My worst memory too. I only got a small beach side plot.

[maiden lodge]

Low point: Legacy servers in ARR and regretting the decision to restrict them at first, and the higher prices
High Point: The first Fanfest

[polar crater]

I know why they decided to do Zoom, they wanted to create something fanfest like by having a bunch of faces on screen.

[dawn wave]

oh i thought he was asking about fflogs

[gaunt star]

YoshiP reads Balance BiS lists

[maiden lodge]

'people overseas'

[thick coral]

they prescreen the questions, they would not allow a FFLogs question

[wind bough]

Yoshida is a balance user

[subtle pasture]

you know he knew when he asked "external sites"

[thick coral]

Because they know, doesn't mean they acknowledge. This case, don't ask, don't tell is positive policy.

[pulsar current]

Is there a balance discord for all languages?

[iron scaffold]

I thought this was common Knowledge

[subtle pasture]

yoshi advocating a sps build

[thick coral]

Yoshi can read English somewhat

[pulsar current]

Ah

[subtle pasture]

no yeah, I meant the guy asking wording it that way

I want someone to ask a crazy question entertain us

[polar crater]

Back in HW, I maxed SKS to it's absolute limit before 4.0's release. Holy cow, it was an experienc. Sub second GCD.

[gaunt star]

sks drg was unironically bis in alphascape but it was purely theoretical because nobody was capable of actually playing it

[thick coral]

Who needs TP? Not this guy.

I goad the tank in this case.

[polar crater]

Ya know, what' I'ma do it again, this time on MNK!!!

[maiden lodge]

When yoshi p looks down and gets a look of regret, that's him noticing twitchchat

You know what?! DO IT. MAX SS MNK. YEAH BROTHER TOGETHER WE BURN

[soft maple]

"When I don't feel motivated to make games, I either cancel them or, as you all know me to famously do, nuke it."

burn it!

I played full sks mnk in uwu, do not recommend

[soft maple]

BURN IT DOWN!

[dense flower]

Basic rotation
Get purple parse above
Noice yoshi

[polar crater]

Who is faster rn? MNK or NIN?

[thick coral]

I like my crit WAY too much to throw them out for SS melds.

[soft maple]

I want full SKS to be viable for mnk

[maiden lodge]

These have generally been very decent questions and answers--better than expected

[unreal wadi]

MNK in terms of Sks

[gaunt star]

MNK is much faster

NIN runs at IIRC 2.12? somewhere around there

[dawn wave]

lol they can definitely see all the comments in the youtube stream complaining abt the questions

[clever flume]

mnk is so fast you can't double weave with it right?

[pulsar current]

Speeeeeeeeed BOOOOOOST

[gaunt star]

Yeah can't double weave on mnk

[warm bone]

at the highest level of GL iirc

[soft maple]

Yeah

[neat salmon]

mnk 1.96, nin 2.1?, sam 2.14, drg 2.5

[gaunt star]

also not advised to double weave on nin or sam

[polar crater]

How fast is max SKS MNK then? 0.5?

[gaunt star]

but you can if you live next to the servers

[neat salmon]

people don't build mnk sks xd

[gaunt star]

Or make the servers think you live next to them :^)

[neat salmon]

sam is really hard to double weave unless you have good ping

[polar crater]

Does ps5 have a way to test ping to the servers?

[next oriole]

mnk's faster

[neat salmon]

WHM on prescence of mind is faster than mnk btw :)

[gaunt star]

hardcap is 1.5s, idk exactly what sks mnk would get to but it would be sub-1.7 p sure

[maiden lodge]

This question

[warm bone]

keep in mind, as fast as MNK goes, you still gotta positionals.

[polar crater]

This question!

[gaunt star]

I believe you hit 1.5s or close in bozja with full haste gear as well

[polar crater]

The worst part.

[soft maple]

And I would have it NO OTHER WAY

[left rivet]

Someone better ask a question about the friendslists, and when theyre updating them

[gaunt star]

You get fast enough to do 6 bloodspiller delirium, just barely

[polar crater]

Why?

[wind bough]

Not on the ps5 itself, but just check your network’s ping to the servers using a computer

[dense flower]

So far the question has been neat

[left rivet]

Because the current friendlist system/social system is HORRIBLE. to the point I prefer to use discord instead of messaging in game

[dim sigil]

As a PS player wtf is ping

[polar crater]

Don't I need the pc version for that?

[hollow plank]

Is there anyone tweeting the questions, or is that Nova doing it still?

[left rivet]

because the friendslist can take 2-3 minutes to populate. \

[wind bough]

No just ping the server ip

[dawn wave]

[lusty shadow]

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?

1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
3. Press enter
   PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/

[torpid yoke]

iirc thats a data transfer problem pineapple

[left rivet]

its shitty sphaget code

[torpid yoke]

everything comes back to sphaget code in the end

[left rivet]

also the fact you have to keep clickingthe circle for off world friends, is annoying. wish we had something like blizards/gw2 friendlist

5/25 for 5.55, can i now trade in emex mount?

[gaunt star]

Well that’s the end of the questions, boring as fuck

[maiden lodge]

Likely, wait till patch notes. 5.55 would correspond to when Suzaku became tradeable

[subtle pasture]

-I just noticed the guy with his background as Koji from yesterday

[neat salmon]

it'll probably be 5.56

[soft maple]

I wonder if they'll answer the questions later on

[dawn wave]

email?!?!?!?

[hasty totem]

Oh, so they can ask through email

Some compromise

[polar crater]

My ping is 20, that good enough for SKS MNK or SAM?

[soft maple]

WOW I am a PROPHET

[neat salmon]

20 ping is good for slow sam

[dense flower]

20...

[fast rampart]

how can you see your ping

[dawn wave]

they started late and ended early lol..

[neat salmon]

you can't weave on faster sams no matter what btw

[wind bough]

20 ping is incredibly good

[dense flower]

I need those pings so bad

[oak pike]

20 is pog

[polar crater]

What's your ping?

[soft maple]

So what's next up?

[dim sigil]

I am ping son of wa zu

[rain onyx]

tbh anything in double digits is pretty good for a majority of job stuff

[gaunt star]

you can single weave at any sks with 20 ping but yeah you'll clip no matter what below about ~2.1s even with 0 ping

[polar crater]

I plan to get starlink, I'll be giving up my good ping for the $$$ savings.

[mystic sinew]

No problem.

(or a lot of problem)

[soft maple]

Thank you so much for your good work

[neat salmon]

if you have 0 ping you can also double weave potion at 2.5

[rain onyx]

I play around 80 Ping and generally only have occasional weaving issues with MCH's Hypercharge burst windows

[gaunt star]

You may also be able to double weave with pot on a slow job at 20 ping

[fallen hazel]

i play at 120-ish most of the time

[dawn wave]

is the next chat with the jp voice actors gonna be translated here?

[warm bone]

i play at 300~400 ping and sometimes attempt to double weave

[wind bough]

Hype for oce servers intensifies

[warm bone]

HYPE

[polar crater]

I legit don't know why they don't split north american servers across the two coasts and send one down south.

[dense flower]

Same

[graceful canopy]

I just remembered that back in the day there wasnt even an EU datacenter ><

[warm bone]

yea, EU DCs were in JP iirc?

[graceful canopy]

Ninja was a bad release for EU

[clever flume]

na, eu was with na xd

[graceful canopy]

Nah bundled with NA on east coast

[gaunt star]

I play at "0" ping and double weave dwd+assassinate to flex on people

[warm bone]

what a legend

[dawn wave]

oh the voice cast stream will be translated by r/ffxiv team yayyy

[polar crater]

Shocked they didn't anounce unlimited BST job to go with BLU.

[neat salmon]

real chads double weave drg jumps

[polar crater]

Eat AoE dirt twice as fast with this one simple trick! Healers hate him.

[gaunt star]

I think you can double weave drg jumps at 0 ping

[oak pike]

like jump jump or jump then other ability?

[vivid notch]

anything good in the QandA?

[gaunt star]

Actually no limited job is a blessing, we didn’t need more of that

[gaunt star]

Nope nada absolutely zippo

[polar crater]

True, we need way more of that.

[gaunt star]

double weave jump would be jump+ability, jump+jump is 100% guaranteed clip

[high flame]

The Q&A felt kinda bleh. The questions were meaningful to some but they weren't the questions 80% of the community wanted answered

[warm bone]

is stardiver still 100% guranteed clip?

[gaunt star]

imma go test anim locks

[polar crater]

The questions most people wanted to ask weren't questions anyone else in that most wanted to ask is the issue.

[high flame]

True. Very true. I hope they release all the Q&A questions and answers they picked out. But I doubt that will happen

[flint iron]

One day drg xan dive and not trigger mine surely

[carmine basin]

Smug can you stream sometime, I'm curious what this looks like

[fallen hazel]

sametimes you get an interesting question, but most of the time you only get this kind

[polar crater]

I reread what I wrote, and I'm shocked you understood that giberrish.

[warm bone]

its hilarious. lemme tell you a story about NIN

i cast raiton

my fuma goes out and hits the mob

then the raiton appears from the sky

a massive flare of fire hits the mobs then the doton appears below my feet
