[leaden wind]

[static niche]

also... anyone wanna bet shoebill is some kinda of a clue to future content?

[granite nimbus]

I was under the impression that the shoebill is just a meme.

[static niche]

||given that it stalked us in SHB and on, and somehow found us in Elpis despite being told by meteion that she've never seen shoebill before and we know abstractly how old she is.||

[jade relic]

level 90 unspoiled botany node in zone 6 so I get to go cry for a bit cool cool cool

[glossy hemlock]

Definitely just a meme

[main umbra]

im in pain. teleport one place another to mine/cut stuff for botanist

[glossy hemlock]

Diadem

[main umbra]

i mean for EW loll

like i have to go golden cocoon, then rarefield cotton, double-edge, then rarefield annite in sucession because of time

[glossy hemlock]

You’re supposed to have to travel places to gather materials lol it keeps things balanced

[main umbra]

it puts me in pain when i hear the final area business

i came here to gather not to be sad ;/

[ashen valley]

say i wanted to run duties for exp, what's the best duty for exp at level 80?

[main umbra]

[ashen valley]

[ashen valley]

yea

[main umbra]

MT.Gulg if u want dungeons im pretty sure

[ashen valley]

ok so i have been doing the right one

Thanks!

@gaunt star ||FFXIV is not an anime. Emet-Selch the tsundere... Allow me to introduce myself.||

[unreal delta]

||Emet is such a tsun i love him||

[errant perch]

||we all know best boi is graha||

[granite nimbus]

||I honestly wish we got to see Azem, if only so we'd have two loopy, recklessly adventurous screwballs annoying the heck out of Emet-Selch.||

[main umbra]

@granite nimbus ||I kinda wanna summon him in 6.0-6.5, so we can just annoy him||

[granite nimbus]

Meanwhile, ||Emet is just thinking, "Why am I the only sane one here?"||

[mental tangle]

Fkn healers you doom us all

[main umbra]

I should make a reddit post with the meme picture, but...|| Emet is an all rounder in the trust...so.... "He attacks", "He protects", but most important he tsundere as heck.||

[static niche]

unfortunately ||turns out he's not really all rounder, the green slot is a scam||

[main umbra]

Stop. I refuse to acknowledge it

[river hound]

||Zenos left alone in the void...dead? Last fight cutscene is like copied from Naruto vs Sasuke.
Also...where the fuck the teleporter controller drop from? Massive plot armor||

[jade relic]

|| Last fight cutscene is Metal Gear Solid 4 ||

[vital brook]

hunts be like

[static niche]

||from what other said he was already dead. and the teleporter device was said by others to be miracle.||

POST EW SPOILER: It looks like a tiddy

[errant perch]

||I just want my graha adventure||

[unreal delta]

||So...I just..uh...finished the 89 trial||

||We Will find our own way, Venat...||

||god for once i just want our wol to break down and cry...||

[late aurora]

It’s a zit, thank you very much

[lean ore]

|| no time to cri ||

[gaunt star]

||oh my god he seriously is wtf i love him||

[broken kettle]

||So Anima isn't a trial and is just a dungeon's final boss... I am so incredibly disappointed...|| lvl83 MSQ dungeon spoiler

[open verge]

Can you get the thavnir guard gear?

[open verge]

LOL this was such a good thing for what comes after

[wooden dove]

Yessss I want that set so badly.

[glossy hemlock]

|| Meteion ||

[ornate oar]

haha yeah they advertised it like a trial i remember too

always when they show challenges or something they always ended up as trials

[river hound]

||She flew away before our fight. and Alisaie mentioned that Meteion reached the ship long before we did. did Met reaslly fly back? Hmmmmmmmm||

[ornate oar]

no no guys

||it was by the power of DETERMINATION||

[glossy hemlock]

|| I just assume that she flew away to guide us and our fight just took that fuckin long that she had time to wait and they realized the WOL wasn’t behind her so she flew back with the teleporter they gave her and clicked it for us ||

[glossy hemlock]

More like || “we don’t want to upset our player base and we aren’t creative enough to make new characters for you to hang out with/we don’t have the balls to kill anyone because it might make someone sad ||

[granite nimbus]

||Or... perhaps dynamis warped reality combined with Zenos' and the Scions' wish for the WoL to return home safely dropped the teleporter next to the WoL and set it off? You know, like Meteion established it could in Ultima Thule?||

[ornate oar]

||cmon they fucking BAITED US SO HARD WITH ALPHI HE HAD TO DIE||

[granite nimbus]

||It's not really plot armor if they explain it to you well in advance.||

[ornate oar]

||like im not pissed that he aint dead but wtf was that launch trailer||

legit biggest bait and switch that shit was

[river hound]

[glossy hemlock]

|| the whole thing felt so cheap once I realized they we’re definitely all gonna come back. I thought for a MOMENT that at least Thancred was gonna be dead permanently and it would have been an amazing send off... But nah, once Estinien also yeeted himself I was like “ah... okay whatever, so everyone is gonna do this then?” ||

[open verge]

Same

[granite nimbus]

||Or... consider that the author isn't in the habit of killing characters for shock value and that Alphinaud is interesting enough that there's less value in killing him off than keeping him alive?||

[errant perch]

||I was super worried right up until I saw all of them summoned because I thought something might go wrong||

[ornate oar]

||we arent even talking about writing rn its just how they marketed it on the launch trailer||

[glossy hemlock]

|| All my homies hate Alphinaud. ||

But also || this was the beginning of an entirely new chapter, we could have had new main characters instead of just the scions but “not the scions” to accompany us in the next expansions ||

[ornate oar]

||when the trailer dropped fucking lots of us thought alphi was gonna get the axe||

[glossy hemlock]

If only

[ornate oar]

||i dont hate any of the scions it was just really weird playing the game and thinking so when the fuck does he die?||

[granite nimbus]

I mean, the trailer was really good at hiding the actual plot points.

[ornate oar]

yes

[granite nimbus]

It sets up expectations only to twist them in clever ways.

||Like the whole, "Zenos is the main bad guy" before the story examines just how shallow and tunnel visioned he is by sidelining him due to his overly narrow worldview.||

[hollow ice]

I like ||that they used most of the voice lines from the trailer some how you expected and others differently||

[ornate oar]

||but tbh i think all of us still expected everyone will survive in the final zone even from thancreds death, cause it would have been pretty wack if other scions goodbyes to him and thanks are only in text form||

[ornate oar]

that whole sentence my dude is a stroke

[hollow ice]

its missing exactly 1 comma

[ornate oar]

https://tenor.com/view/nikocado-nikocado-avocado-typing-gabbie-hanna-gif-23708939

[minor wren]

It reminds me of the Shadowbringers one.

[ornate oar]

oh nah shadowbringers one dropped a bombshell of a reveal

with zodiark and hydaelyn being primals

[frigid oasis]

Anyone know what Materai DRK use now?

[minor wren]

Fair

[scenic vigil]

hi, I was looking through my footage and saw a buff applied to my entire party during EX 2 called "Crest of Time Returned" - i'm pretty sure this is from a player's ability. There was a reaper in the party, was this theirs?

[tropic frigate]

Reaper yes i think its just a regen

[scenic vigil]

oh okay i think i found it, is it this Arcane Crest

ah yeah it must be. the tooltip reads like its only on self but i see in the traits Enhanced Arcane Crest if that shield breaks it gives the one I quoted to the nearby party members a regen

i heard they had something like this but i didnt know it's name so i didnt recognize the buff

[lean ore]

yeah its an 100 potency cure

which i always forget to use

[split forum]

3800 queue

[tropic frigate]

Gosh i wish i could avoid queues

[trail yarrow]

hmmm.... ||i kinda wanna kill them in exchange for the removal of those collars|| 😄

[gaunt star]

Man that speech ||uriange gave to the little bunny people hit me in the feels||

[errant perch]

||at first I was annoyed that they were gonna give me a collar. But then I was annoyed that they werent||

[trail yarrow]

nah. that act earned them their deaths. sadly, i won't be able to do it

[granite nimbus]

Well, ||as they said, it'd only be an itch to the WoL after all they've survived. Holding someone they care about hostage is far more effective at restraining them than a teensy shock collar when we've taken lightning from Ramuh and Shinryu.||

[trail yarrow]

i wonder if ||WoL can bring this place to ruins by himself...||

[tulip geyser]

||Props to them for actually realizing WoL wouldnt give two shits about a collar on themselves||

[trail yarrow]

i mean... if he survived all those primals 😄

[granite nimbus]

||One good Flare spell...||

[trail yarrow]

what can they do to him

[hoary cobalt]

||For the zodiark trial, this is the first time I've done an extreme anything. Is it normally this hard?||

[trail yarrow]

uhh, extreme is supposed to be hard. usually recommended to do an actual party, at least from my experience

[ruby loom]

||are you doing it blind, as in no guid etc.? or are you doing it having watched a guide prior? the EW extremes are actually a bit harder than at least the Shadowbringers extremes. at least they feel that way to me||

[hoary cobalt]

Blind prog group, was a lot of fun, and watched the guide after we got to the ||fire wall|| part

[ruby loom]

||first group? yeah, extremes are pretty hard, all things considered. The good part is that you can learn core mechanics from the regular story version of the trial and as long as you remember those you can fairly easily piece them together for extremes. the fights are only really difficult while learning them and once you got your first kill while understanding them fully it becomes very easy to farm. provided the group doesn't consist of numskulls||

[hoary cobalt]

||I feel like it is a geometry test||

[pearl iron]

ShB question related to EW: ||wasn't hermes the ascian during eden's quests? and there's another one which i've forgotten the name||

trying not to google/wiki to avoid spoilers

[hollow ice]

no

[pearl iron]

i've just reached ||elpis||

[hollow ice]

||hermes is fancy daniel||

[ruby loom]

||Hermes = future (unsundered) Fandaniel. Eden was Mitron and Gaia is Lohgrif||

[pearl iron]

thank you

[hoary cobalt]

||He is also in the Crystal Tower Alliance||

[quick owl]

Yep... I could tell where Y'shtola's plan was going the second she mentioned that they couldn't just wander around in the open.

[hollow ice]

||thats a clone of his reincarnation amon||

[quick owl]

Only I thought it'd be a poroggo worker, not a plain old frog.

[vital timber]

Question about the Loporitts, ||what is the name of the 8-bit like song they play when they go humming? ||

[late aurora]

Hummingway’s theme

https://youtu.be/AsNG-3qacoo

[grand olive]

So I noticed they separated the purple scrip crafter gear to each individual crafter.. This sounds like a grind, is it worth doing it or just sticking to hq normal stuff would suffice until they release better gear?

[vital timber]

Oh.... I forgot they are called Hummingways in FFIV

[granite nimbus]

Unless you like the glamour (and for some reason have inventory space to spare), you're better off just using HQ versions of the current best all-DoH gear for the time being. The Purple Scrip tools might be good though.

[grand olive]

Ah thank you :D! Do you know if it's going to be any time soon that they release better gear or is this the best gear for a few months?

[granite nimbus]

I think there's going to be better gear in a month or so?

[grand olive]

Mm okay thank you :D! I will just craft the level 90 generic stuff !

[late aurora]

There is namingway and his various name changes from the DS port

[granite nimbus]

Also, I just find it so hilarious that ||Zenos' fight boner got him to fly to our aid at several million or billions of times the speed of light.||

[quick owl]

Erenville claims to be an expert on "toads" when they were very clearly frogs...

[granite nimbus]

Well, the spell is "Toad".

But yeah, it's really weird how the story conflates the two.

[novel furnace]

there's gonna be better gear in like a week

[granite nimbus]

Oh good then.

[trail yarrow]

||Julius, honey, I don't give a shit about your home. For following your owner's decision, you will all die."|| Is what I want to say 😄

[gloomy lake]

The Lancer in this quest chain is a real MVP.

[trail yarrow]

pfft... plan failed kek

[quick raptor]

hey where do you get the ||starbird|| minion?

[granite nimbus]

||Do the Level 90 dungeon. It's a random loot drop from the last chest.||

Idk why but he annoyed me a lot lol

~~just ignore the names ez

[feral pike]

EX trial question: ||do you need everything above ilvl 560 to clear the dps check?||

[late aurora]

Just dps harder lol

[feral pike]

was doing the stone sky sea for ||zodiark ex|| and couldn't pass the dps check for the life of me. I'm fairly sure my rotation is correct

[hollow ice]

I only finished the second ex and we didnt really have an issue with the enrage timer

and most of us were at 560

[late aurora]

SSS is a bad measurement tool

!faq sss

[lusty shadow]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[feral pike]

It’s also in the achievements

i have 46 more quests left X__X

also the whole conclusion of the 84-85 quest line really annoyed the shit out of me

[late aurora]

Yep it’s those exact lyrics for the achievement names

[sinful ore]

are there any tracking sites for the cooldown timer on the new fate ||omicron recall|| for the new mount ||level checker||?

[supple saffron]

so that cutscene where someone knocks on our door, is it different depending on which scion name you select?

[granite nimbus]

Yep!

Just like the ShB role quests and Echoes of the Past.

[supple saffron]

Ah, that's awesome. Gonna have to look up the other ones, then. I went with G'raha and I loved it.

[plain sierra]

I'm getting the distinct impression something went wrong with the game loading and playing voices because... there've been too many where I'm certain they're missing. After clearing ||The Tower of Babil|| should the following scenes be voiced?

[coarse meadow]

there is a known glitch where voices/audio does indeed cut out

[plain sierra]

Nyaaaaaah! What can I do (short of logging out and back in because.. no)

[coarse meadow]

i only got it to stop when uh... well... i restarted the client

[plain sierra]

urgh. This sucks.

[coarse meadow]

now im sure there might be a fix now for it, but thats my solution but its a bad one lol

[plain sierra]

:C

[bitter forum]

lol, one of the DoL delivery quests takes you to kugane and the sightseeing options are the bridge or the top of the tower

[timber lichen]

o my fuckign god i replayed the cutscene with ||meteion right before the zenos fight in the inn just to check something and its telling me i cant skip it now||

get me out of here

[lilac crest]

Since they downscaled values does that mean E12s is still not noob friendly

Or did they also downscale e12s boss

[gusty quiver]

Everything is downscaled

[lilac crest]

Cause I remember for o12s during shb they just skipped hello world by doing goodbye world and jumping and just rezzing dead

[humble heron]

Personally i hope we visit square enix headquarters

I usually dont like ||time travel but shb and ew has been great so far, altho my pea brain needs time to process connections||

Anyways i have to ask ||did our going back in time actually ended up giving venat an idea on what to do ehem creating hydaelyn, so its like a complete time loop ?||

[cold jungle]

pretty much

[sudden spruce]

Oh boy i dont know how to feel about everything, i think i need a few days to process everything about ew

[dense jackal]

got to the final trial, just waiting on my friends now. yeah I also need some time, wow what a journey

[sudden spruce]

Man i still remember the ||scene with venat walking through all bloody mirroring our walk towards emet||

With that being said, is there any streamer/ytuber who's into lore. Ill probably need a refresher of everything, my brain goo now.

[coarse meadow]

Hey I just realized when we ||had to go back to the first to talk with ryne|| did our choices in that cutscene matter?

[late aurora]

We have the Rommy Docs

[cold jungle]

none of the 'meet the npcs' choices matter

[coarse meadow]

Literally was the most badass thing

[cold jungle]

in fact, none of the dialogue choices in this game matter

[jade relic]

Some old wow lore guys have been moving over, I’d imagine we will have lore deep dive videos coming before too long

[coarse meadow]

Welllll shit, I was hoping it mattered somewhat.

[late aurora]

Except when they do

[cold jungle]

not gameplay-wise

they might change a line or two but that's it

[sudden spruce]

The scene where you get different cutscene is when ||scion knock at the door and you call out a name, that has several different cutscenes depending who you pick||

[late aurora]

Firmament, doman enclave, Chai-nuzz

That whodunnit Make It Rain quest

[errant mortar]

anyone know where you get the wind-up ||grebuloff|| from

[glossy hemlock]

I kinda wanna know now

[late aurora]

Ff14 collect has nothing on it

yeah thats why i asked

description makes me think retainer ventures

Oh yeahh that as well

||we are the reason post arr quests exists||

[late aurora]

Nah still the allagans fault

[jolly sierra]

Always the allagans fault

[sudden spruce]

Ok i too shall now blame the allags

[vale lake]

anyone think 90 pally has a shot at new savage/extreme content that was pre-endwalker unsoloable w/ highest ilvl stuff available now?

[gentle oasis]

How good is SMN this patch and is it worth playing it instead of BLM?

[late aurora]

Do you enjoy playing BLM?

[gentle oasis]

yeah i do

[late aurora]

Then give SMN a test run, won’t hurt

[gentle oasis]

but i feel like BLM is kinda eh this patch compared to others esp in ex trials

[hollow ice]

stuffs still balanced but smn got a lot easier, almost feels more like a phys range but with a few cast time abilities

[north silo]

It’s only eh cause most of the ex trials, specifically ||Zodiark|| require you to move a lot

[brisk quail]

I mean then again they got more triple casts

[marsh stag]

How come ||the moon has gravity like Earth?||

[brisk quail]

Because videogame

[late aurora]

Because it’s not || a moon||

[brisk quail]

That too

[marsh stag]

Oh yeah that makes sense both points

6.0

[gentle oasis]

yeah..

are the rotationg uide for summoners out yet?

[late aurora]

Sorry wrong Mega

Just a 2 letter difference that’s crazy

[hollow ice]

smn is so easy I dont think you really needa guide to figure it out rn

[gentle oasis]

ah okay ^^

[tribal quiver]

Ah finished Endwalker

[north silo]

So Endwalker is just about ||Fighting Meteions depression|| ok

[hollow ice]

||and fandaniel at least 3 different times in different forms||

[north silo]

||Venat should’ve found them a therapist 😩||

[jade relic]

she was a little busy

[late aurora]

And ||Asahi is there too, he does not like the fanny|| 89

[lean ore]

he was more calm than i expected /sweat

[half phoenix]

So, for MNK... what is the purpose of that movement speed weaponskill with a longer recast (spacing on the name)

[stiff charm]

greed'

[cold jungle]

before high movement i'm guessing

like you know the boss is transitioning or using a big attack you have to run from

[north silo]

Not Yoshi P copying the || Menos Grande in bleach with THAT monster||

[marsh osprey]

[weary rampart]

ok enough tearing up, time to learn EX fight

[steady valve]

ayo

[north silo]

IS THIS A MOUNT

[steady valve]

1st trial ex mount

[north silo]

Oh it’s probably that Lynx I thought it was a dragon for some reason

[late aurora]

We had dragons last expansion

[cold jungle]

masked rose agrees: this is the height of fashion

[bronze brook]

quick question without spoilers : are the EW raids already available ( the non savage one )

[north silo]

No

[bronze brook]

so they will be released together with the savage ones ?

[late aurora]

No, Savage is 2 weeks afterwards

[north silo]

Pretty sure 4 normal raids are released some point between 6.0-6.1 or on 6.1 and savage for those 4 follows in 6.2

[gaunt star]

finishing the msq has left me with an indescribable sense of existential dread, awe, and emptiness what the fuck

[lean ore]

copium

[bronze brook]

If there is one thing i am sad about in 6.0 ||it is that while in the past we never got to meet us as Azem . ||( obviously this can still change )

[boreal drum]

turn 4 phase 4 is still my bane

[indigo shale]

||we probably never will, and it should stay that way, the point of us not meeting azem is to not take away the fact the WoL is their own person, if we meet azem then they undo the whole message of ShB||

[north silo]

How do I get to Labrnythos from the rostra

[bronze brook]

left hallway

go down elevator

[vernal dust]

Does anyone have the before and after enfwalker meme?

Also, does anyone have the expectations vs reality for endwalker meme?

[north silo]

Ah ty

[jolly sierra]

i know exactly what you mean || tbh it's really renewed how i look at irl stuff, and it's given me the motivation i need to actually work on myself, when im not crying over it anw ||

[gaunt star]

Right?? like seldom do I find an experience so,,,, impactful to me irl I just can't over how good this expan was

[cold jungle]

use BLU. i was able to oneshot it with the final sting combo from the first phase after damaging her a bit

[boreal drum]

yeah, but that requires me having to level up my BLU some more lol

[bronze brook]

@indigo shale i would disagree ,

||We are our own person regardless of who Azem was before getting sundered . we would be essentially 2 different people if we met him . ( though we would both share our love for adventure and jumping into volcanoes and other craziness .) meeting him would not undo us being our own person ||

[cold jungle]

it was possible in shadowbringers for bursty classes to save burst for last phase and just nuke her to hell

[boreal drum]

I could give a shot tomorrow on my SMN. It's more bursty than it was in ShB. If that fails, then I'll see if I can grab some random SAM to help out

[half phoenix]

Because character gender determines Azem’s gender, which would mean 2 VAs per language for line reads for 1 character.

[indigo shale]

||if that was the case they wouldnt have azem match the player gender, or have amon, graha and emet confirm about the soul disposition,||

[half phoenix]

So odds are we’ll never see them, much less in scenes where there’s dialogue

[mortal barn]

is it possible to have rain in a year-round snowy place like Garlemald? 😮

[half phoenix]

Yes? During the warmer months

Garlemald does get an actual summer, like northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Russia

[bronze brook]

And Freezing rain is a thing .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain

[mortal barn]

the more you know

[indigo shale]

FF has ruined me, i read that that as "ambient aether" not "ambient air mass"

[glossy hemlock]

LOL

[pulsar current]

i used yalms instead of yards the other day

[dark glade]

Is the Tower of Babil one of those dungeon people keep saying should be done with trusts ?

[indigo shale]

well its up to you, no dungeon has to be done with trusts

[bronze brook]

wait until you are in the store calculating how many tomestones a box of cereal costs :p

[dark glade]

I think they meant RP wise or something, like you would fill more immersed doing so idk

[bronze brook]

my personal opinion is that i do every dungeon the first time with trusts as it makes the most logical sense .

[indigo shale]

i think their is only one dungeon in EW where ||RP wise it can only be done trust wise as no way other adventurers not us can get there and no we cant use azem stone to summon people there was unless the azem stone is blessed/powered up we can not use it on a whim. otherwise story wise its the same as we either go in with the trust and the rest follow behind or we bring a band of adventurers and every one still follows behind, so all in all its just personal preference||

[mortal barn]

https://i.imgur.com/5ClVFcJ.png imagine being wet and cold at the same time

[tulip geyser]

Freezing rain sucks hard to be in

However, the trees look pretty after

...if they dont break and stuff

[gleaming bough]

bruh

i wonder if the humming dialogue choice is exclusive to viera

[sudden spruce]

God i really wanted to ||meet azem and i thought what if SE used our current wol's appearance and did a code to randomized certain parts like eye/hair color and maybe face marking but nah that would be awkward|| maybe next expac we'll meet them but prob hooded or smthng

[gleaming bough]

must be weird reading this when your WoL is a viera

[sudden spruce]

Same

[light sail]

Ice storms are a thing too, it sucks

[light sail]

honestly, there's a ton of innuendo on the Moon

for some reason

[sudden spruce]

Gotta offset seeing ||a kid that turned getting insta squashed||

[tulip geyser]

Fifth area stuff: ||I love how everyone in Elpis loves Azems quirky "familiar" and just dismiss the weirdness as "Just Azem things."||

[tulip geyser]

||The moment of silent, shared horror is way too good ||

[glossy hemlock]

Level 87 dungeon.

[glossy hemlock]

I just loved how polite || Urianger was trying to be. ||

[bleak ravine]

Interesting.

[gleaming bough]

that moment when everyone just stay silent...

[bronze brook]

If anyone is still looking for this shot as a background ( MAJOR EW END SPOILERS )

[sudden spruce]

Everyday, more and more people are becoming ways

[tulip geyser]

Yeah its probably my favorite art

[glossy hemlock]

It’s pretty cute

[sudden spruce]

Damn i just hovered over the weather in the minimap and ||it says apocalypse, like yeah no shit||

[glossy hemlock]

[sudden spruce]

Seeing ||hythlo waving emet goodbye and seeing emet just suffer after is the true apocalypse|| the pain

[indigo shale]

||hmm i wonder, since those souls sacrificed by zodiark wonder a bit around mare lamentorum, i wonder if emet told hyth about all the bad shit he did and how hes the worst person to ever exist, but i guess not since hyth doenst mention it and seems suprised we talk about the recreation of amourot||

[sudden spruce]

Yeah, hes too far in tempered to remember visiting his best bro probably

[nocturne wharf]

5/6 FATE zones done

Damn, that's a mouthful.

!faq ewbalance

[lusty shadow]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The current sample size of recorded runs is too small to eliminate RNG. Even in the data we do have, there is too much variance in player skill, rotations, party composition, and killtime to be able to make any conclusions.

2. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

3. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

4. While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter and party makeup. Fight design, job synergies, and yet-to-be-discovered niche optimizations are all things that can influence job balance.

5. Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more harm than good.

Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.

Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.

[cinder spindle]

i see i see

[rain onyx]

too early to say if Det being buffed will have an impact

[novel forum]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa effort

[rain onyx]

since the current BiS isn't really a BiS

As there's no options and you can only take highest ilvl

[cinder spindle]

||does this mean BW and LD gonna be fixed *copium||

[rain onyx]

Living Dead? What's broken about it?

[gleaming bough]

man puddingway, sound so cute

[mortal barn]

https://i.imgur.com/sm9N8hv.png someone being meme-savvy

I don't think Garlemald has wind sprite though? ALl I see are icy Celureum ones

[tulip geyser]

I didnt even know there could be those

[sudden spruce]

Need help whats the ||name of the song that plays when we playfight venat, like that specific version where the lyrics are clear||

[thorny flax]

I can't remember the name but the soundtrack is on YouTube. Just search for the fight and you will find it. But I highly recommend to not open YouTube until you are done with the MSQ. Spoilers everywhere

[jolly sierra]

[sudden spruce]

Thank you!

[jolly sierra]

[mortal barn]

night song in Garlemald sounds like broken radio

[sudden spruce]

God so many bangers in ew, oh i am done with ew btw no worries.

Theres not a single song i didnt like, but || venats song ||is just another level fresh and chill

[jolly sierra]

pls spoiler that

[sudden spruce]

Oh god sorry

[mortal barn]

if you spoil, plz kindly put them word between ||

i wish ||ultima thule could go back to the broken music after spending 6 hours farming fates i have come to despise the final version of the music|| zone 6 spoiler

[tulip geyser]

||It would be nice to pick||

[sudden spruce]

Even the broken radio sound is good, ||lofi beats to garlemald at||

[thorny flax]

Endwalker ending spoiler: ||I can't believe that Zenos is now one of my favorite characters in this game. Not Emet-Selch level but I like him as much as the scions. All the scenes at the end were freaking perfection ||

[indigo shale]

||garlemalds music i found to be the most hopeless sounding (not saying its bad), like all other zones seem to have some hope and pip to the music, but garlemald doesnt have that||

[sudden spruce]

||Ew=existential wondering||

[jolly sierra]

||eternal weeping||

[sudden spruce]

That too

[thorny flax]

||the entire zone was fantastic. From a cultural aspect it was very well written as well and points out a lot of problems countries had after WW2||

[sudden spruce]

I thought ||shb was good, but ew was better at making me pure sad||

[jolly sierra]

Yeah for sure, || Ew hit so many emotional chords, hit me where it hurt most and really made me reflect on myself ||

[sudden spruce]

Ew be like ||how many tesleens can we fit in one thavnair scene||

[thorny flax]

||shb was insanely well written in terms of characters. EW was insanely well written in terms of philosophies. And both together created the ultimate FFXIV experience||

[river hound]

i've been playing FF since this afternoon for at least 6 hours, progged ||Hydaelyn EX|| like 20 times. joined my FC Prog group to the other EX trial...instantly game crash DirectX error. what the fuck

[jolly sierra]

But at the same time I can see why || Ew is much more hit or miss with people ||

[indigo shale]

||im glad they made the garleans behave how you would expect, they could have easily went the route of garleans accepting our help with no questions asked, being all nice and all as though they havent went through a century of mass propaganda from an ascian ||

[ornate wharf]

there really is something poetic about a ||"fistfight at the edge of the universe"||, I didn't think they could redeem Zenos in a meaningful way, but damn if they didn't...

[north silo]

yOu WoNt EvEr HaVe To Do RoUlEtTeS dUrInG MSQ I’m litersllly doing roulettes to get to 89

[thorny flax]

||Zenos broke the 4th wall and I absolutely loved it. Especially if you are a tryhard in mmorpg's||

[ornate wharf]

||I'd say Venat broke the 4th wall more than anything, that scene in Elpis when the camera focuses on her as she asks you "Has your journey been good?" feels as if the developer asks the player directly that and it's glorious, it hit me hard ||

[jolly sierra]

Love this channel, it reminds me of all the little things that hit me really hard but I don't remember because I was very tired when I did msq

[gleaming bough]

oh shit

[pulsar current]

wimdy

[ornate wharf]

can totally relate to that...I threw my sleep pattern out the window with this expansion, by the last zone I was dozing off but just could not go to sleep because I was so enthralled

[tulip geyser]

||Oh would you look at the time!
Its end of the world o'clock||

[jolly sierra]

I didnt even remember that || footfalls played during zenos duty || final quest spoilers

But also yeah I finished it on day 3 of EA after playing for 19 hours straight

[ornate wharf]

haha I didn't go THAT hard, but yeah...by the end it was hard to let go of my mouse and keyboard 😂

[hearty ravine]

Endwalker ending spoiler:

Cool stuff that I noticed while playing:

||The "answer" song from ARR refers to what happened in Elpis

During the big cutscene with Venat, Emet and Hythlodaeus are both chads and Emet acts like nothing is wrong even though it's right before him sacrificing his own life to merge with Zodiark together with the other unsundered

The answer in Hydaelyns fight is about the answer if your journey was great

during the final trial the scions are doing the 1.0 praying scene

probably 10k metaphoric and philosophic stuff in almost every scene with meteion

Meteion = reference to the og FFXIV WoL name "Meteor"||

[north silo]

Everyone seems surprised that an expansion ending the story that started with 1.0 makes several references to 1.0

[thorny flax]

||garlemald story is also heavily inspired by the soviet union which is interesting as well||

[indigo shale]

even 2.0 made many references to 1.0, HW referenced 1.0, im sure SB and ShB did too

[indigo shale]

||its inspired by the roman empire more so, but with parallels to a lot of other later empires too||

[ornate wharf]

||I noticed a lot of biblical and philosophical themes all throughout the expansion, like the words Venat uses at the end of the Amaurot scene, being a direct link to how God threw Adam and Eve out of paradise in the Bible by "taking their wings away" and saying that "from now on man shall walk", I am not religious but that was an incredible moment, especially how Elpis felt from A to Z as if it was meant as a "garden of Eden" in itself||

[north silo]

Kinda sad it seems that SE ditched the whole “main scenario” raid thing after 2.0

[indigo shale]

||well, omega can be classed as msq raid now||

[weary temple]

My new favorite song in the game. ❤️ ||https://youtu.be/RX94kGugTzw ||

[indigo shale]

||and so can alex, due to ShB, its just none of them had to wrap up something as big as dalamud before||

this game needs an mp3 player like FF15, where you can just walk around in game to any orchestration roll

[jolly sierra]

Yeah good thing YouTube exists

[gleaming bough]

same for crystal tower

[indigo shale]

anything allagan is always important For msq, their would be no MSQ if it werent for allag

[jolly sierra]

Tbh I do wish they made all the normal raids required for msq

Except bahamut I guess I'd understand if they kept that optional

[gleaming bough]

nah they just need to decrease bahamut difficulty

or at least turn 9 difficultty

[indigo shale]

if we go to meracyidya there is bound to be an allagan dungeon, as we know they did some fucked up stuff there

[gleaming bough]

man , what new shit they are going for the next expac

[sudden spruce]

Beat the allags up

[jolly sierra]

Tbh I want them to explore something completely new

[indigo shale]

we'd have to leave the star for that, we cant escape allagans on our current star

[thorny flax]

I hope they move away from the cosmic stuff for the next 2 expansions

[jolly sierra]

I kinda want another x.0 story where we dont deal with the allagans at all

[indigo shale]

would have to be a new game or star completely, but then again we went to the first and 13th and there was still allagan stuff

[jolly sierra]

I love them but after || the part they "played" in the msq I'm a little burnt out on them ||

OH YEAH THE 13TH

[indigo shale]

remember xande made a pact with the cloud of darkness

[jolly sierra]

Right ok if it's the 13th ignore everything I said

[thorny flax]

I'd actually love another isekai. I usually hate isekai's because they are overused nowadays but shadowbringers did a really great job in terms of world building

[gaunt star]

Why don't we go to literally every place emet mentioned when he was summoned?

[indigo shale]

well its more that we'd still be dealing with allagan repercussions some people may not like that

[gaunt star]

We've been to FFXIV Japan. FFXIV India. FFXIV Greece. It's time to go to FFXIV Australia. We will go to the southern continent

[ornate wharf]

||I seriously hope that the next expansion they're going to have us explore new lands as more of a wandering adventurer rather than a part of a big organization, that would fit well with the current ending||

[indigo shale]

everything we have dealt with in the game has mostly been allagan, so it may be wearing thin on people

[jolly sierra]

god yes please

[thorny flax]

good thing about the next story is that Ishikawa is gonna write almost all of it and she might have more influence now because she's working closer together with Oda compared to the past

[indigo shale]

nope, shes stepping from main writing main expansions

[jolly sierra]

actually i would love if 7.0 was ||graha|| and wol's big adventure

[ornate wharf]

yesss 😄

[gaunt star]

Yes

[thorny flax]

yes

[indigo shale]

its going to be different writers for all next expansions

[jolly sierra]

i will cry if it is

[ornate wharf]

there we go, we have a consensus

[gaunt star]

WoL's bizarre adventure

[jolly sierra]

i love ||graha|| so fucking much

[ornate wharf]

his voice actor is really good as well

[thorny flax]

Raha is objectively the best character in the entire game because he prefers wendy's over mcdonalds

[gaunt star]

G'raha eating a fucking burger

[indigo shale]

wouldnt that make him the worst character

[wild crane]

Borger

[indigo shale]

wendys would be an ascian if it was personified

[gaunt star]

I love Alisae but when she refused to eat the pickle I lost some small respect

[thorny flax]

the hangout scenes were so good btw

[jolly sierra]

honestly i love the scions all equally

except yshtola she's a little bit higher

[indigo shale]

urianger best scion

[jolly sierra]

but i love all of them so so so so so much

[tulip geyser]

||Uriangers emote game was on point
./pray when Estinien got dragged off
Being cold when he got to Garlemald ||

[gaunt star]

Do you think Urianger likes carrots?

[thorny flax]

oh another fun fact:
If you play the game in english and you are done with the msq check all your new titles

and look at the descriptions

they are lyrics

[jolly sierra]

do u have a screenshot? i cant log in rn

[thorny flax]

can't login either. But it's bascially the "hydaelyn" part of footfalls

[jolly sierra]

gotcha

[indigo shale]

ah shit got kicked out of the queue after 2 hours, and now instead of being 2k in place now im 6k

[fluid basalt]

but those lyrics... where's the full song?

success is suffering

[lean lintel]

RIP

[thorny flax]

if we are lucky we get more servers in spring

my company ordered hardware in june and we get it in march 2022

[indigo shale]

to play EW on EA i had to wake up at 3am to get a full day of playing msq, otherwise no way i was getting in

[lean lintel]

Didn't they get rid of a bunch of severs a couple years ago and merged

[jolly sierra]

which song?

[lean lintel]

I remember more servers at lunch

[indigo shale]

they got rid of the remaning 1.0 servers and merged them into the current worlds and data centers

[inner swan]

Honestly

[fluid basalt]

the one in the achievements

[thorny flax]

cryptomining is a huge problem as well

[inner swan]

Like sure we can get to ||ultima thule|| but where is streaming or YouTube for footfalls

[fluid basalt]

cryptomining affecting FFXIV queues?

[jolly sierra]

its footfalls, the trailer theme

[indigo shale]

because miners would buy out all GPU's and such

[fluid basalt]

need the full song... not this short part of footfalls

[inner swan]

Alphinaud was on trial in Ishgard for screenshotting NFTs

[thorny flax]

not directly but in terms of making server hardware available

[indigo shale]

so it lead to semi conductors being in short of supply especially due to the pandemic as well, because silicon production slowed down and hasnt recovered much

[inner swan]

The scalpers fight back to become exactly what they exploit

I’m sure Square will be able to get their hands on server equipment probably before february

[thorny flax]

Imagine being a scalper and FFXIV fan and now you have to pay for your bs by having to wait in the queue

[indigo shale]

and companies like nvidia, amd and intel never helped as they didnt put caps on how many of 1 item people could buy despite not having enough stock

[jolly sierra]

yeah but tbh the next time they need this much server space is 7.0 so

[lean lintel]

Not like they can just buy more servers from serverville

[inner swan]

I think I read something saying that was one of the main goals (server stability and new servers maybe)? I Don’t speak Japanese so I wouldn’t go picking the translation out of an interview or wherever that info came from originally, my boyfriend mentioned it

Regardless I’m excited for whatever they throw tbh Endwalker was just too good

[fluid basalt]

those companies wouldn't put a cap anyway, since more sales is better for them

[inner swan]

Moreso a resource issue but it’s just dependent company to company

[fluid basalt]

7.0 may not be as big since it's not the conclusion of a decade-long story... maybe

[thorny flax]

XIV community deserves an award btw (actually they got one ). Usually people go on metacritic and downvote the shit out of new games that have problems like new world. Meanwhile FFXIV has a 9/10 average user score on steam and metacritic because they rate the product and not the service that is tied to the product

[jolly sierra]

that really depends on 6.55

[inner swan]

It’d be the parallel of ARR I think or yeah dependent on 6.55

[jolly sierra]

well, 6.1-6.55. it'll def still be pretty big

[indigo shale]

they did in game awards, they won best community support, oh you edited nvm

[thorny flax]

yeah I realized this while writing it

[lean lintel]

Because we bitch but we understand

2002 errors piss me off but I know its just something I need to deal with

[thorny flax]

I got 2002ed right now but I got back into my queue place because I was fast enough and did the 5Head "2 clients" strat

[jolly sierra]

The what

[lean lintel]

Explanation please

[indigo shale]

open 2 clients, log in but cant slect char, if one errors you can queue on 2nd client straight away, no risk of losing queue place

[thorny flax]

open 2 clients and if you get 2002ed just swap immediately to the other one

[lean lintel]

Ohhh that's a game changer for me

[jolly sierra]

Can you log in twice on the same account wtf

[indigo shale]

ofc unless you dont realise you got errored like me and get pushed back 4k places

[fluid basalt]

probably not a good idea to attempt things that will jeopardize your queue

[lean lintel]

Well it won't because you just don't have to wait for it to crash and relaunch

You have another one ready to go once you get 2002

Make sense

You are not "logging in" with the 2nd clients until the 1st one errors and crashes to desk top

[jolly sierra]

Oh I see

I assume you mean the game itself though not the launcher

[undone zodiac]

What's the fastest way to farm the new tomestones?

[lean lintel]

Yeah two clients on the character select screen

One fails you have another one ready to go

I'm gonna try that from now on

[jolly sierra]

Roulettes once a day but after that it's just farming the expert dungeons

[north silo]

I like how ||Livia and Rhiathyn make a return in Altiascopee||

[indigo shale]

||dungeon full of simps, livia for gaius, rhit for the empire, amon for xande and asahi for zenos||

[jolly sierra]

|| and if u run it with trusts u get +3 simps for wol ||

[undone zodiac]

which expert dungeon is the fastest?

[jolly sierra]

They're all about the same for me tbh

I just queue for the whichever one I like more at the time

|| but it's normally smileton ||

[undone zodiac]

aye dope. When is the reset time for roulettes again?

[magic forge]

in about an hour and 2 mins

[vital timber]

Is it so wrong that I crave that Loporrits be playable?

[undone zodiac]

no, I want them to

[magic forge]

at best they're gonna give us some loporrit suits

[jolly sierra]

For reference it's midnight in japan

[vital timber]

To me, they look less like rabbits and more like hamsters or chinchillas.

So yeah an hour from now

[granite nimbus]

||It makes sense for people to simp for the WoL though. They're a multitalented godslayer who canonically has rippling muscles, is a great confidant, is good with kids, and is an impassioned storyteller. Not to mention kind-hearted and a world-renowned hero.||

[jolly sierra]

|| I simp for my wol I know lmao ||

[brazen trout]

tertium ||doesnt play the radio song anymore?|| D:

[jolly sierra]

|| she's on both my phone wallpapers ||

Yknow what I'll stop there I've already fulfilled my gushing over endwalker quota for today

One of my fc mates says thier magic dps role quest is gone? anyone else having the bug?

[gaunt star]

[jolly sierra]

[main umbra]

huh thats actually a steal money wise if that incldues accessories.

and ur lazy to level crafters.

[bronze brook]

i have said it before the expansion launched but now , after EW i feel even stronger about where 7.0 should go :

||After 6.0 having fought against complete despair and Nihilistic hopelessness and conquer it , 7.0 should go as the complete expression of that statement of hope :

A story of laughter , of almost whimsical and dare i say , comedic nature .

It does not need to go all happy go lucky but After EW , The world deserves a time of peace . ||

[granite nimbus]

So what you're saying is, ||we need an entire expansion devoted to Hildibrand, got it.||

[bronze brook]

Yes

[mint notch]

Does Bard feel better to play since Shadowbringers?

[indigo shale]

||fucking the dancing omicron side mission in ultima thule, such a comedic side mission for a sad area|| end zone spoiler

[bronze brook]

But seriously the game already has given us a good setup for it :

||The scions have disbanded and gone their separate ways leaving it now up to the companies and now that we no longer have Summoning problems ( for the most part)

for the first time , we , the WOL have no goal or objective to pursue , leaving us free to go do whatever we want . ||

[slender siren]

Bruh

These threads man

I am getting old Gamefaqs vibes from that image

Back then it was Sephiroth vs L block .

speaking of the L block, wtf

L block is urianger confirmed

||I just had my first group disband ever lol. In the hydaelyn fight lol||

Ending spoiler: || It is "Flow" that plays after you defeat Meteion and she wants to be your friend, right? Anyone got a link to that version of it, rather than the "band" version which has a more rock sound to it || ?

[simple axle]

any idea if they're gonna make A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES extreme
like memoria

[next quarry]

nah

[marsh osprey]

endwalker gave us a test of patience and dread

[indigo shale]

could potentially, ||it seems a very cool fight that would be a shame to be only able to do once with all its mechanics, and if they do, better hope we can get his scythe from it||

[marsh osprey]

next expansion will have test of passion and lust

[next quarry]

dating simulator expansion

[thorny flax]

Social Links in FFXIV pls

[north silo]

I would gladly bottom for Zenos

[thorny flax]

I love how people simp for Zenos now lmao

[next quarry]

They have been

[indigo shale]

like memoria mis ex was just the WoL pining a hard fight, so they could do similar for other things

[gusty quiver]

Zenos STILL boring villain

[thorny flax]

he's not a villain he's my friend 🙂

[north silo]

He’s my friend that does bad stuff and acts emo

[thorny flax]

I love how I called that ||Zenos will turn into Vegeta 2.0||

it fits his character perfectly

[indigo shale]

cant believe the ||funny man made zenos have to contemplate stuff and reflect because he stole what he was going to do||

it was completely out of order of what i was expecting

[thorny flax]

||He's not dead btw. He will come back for sure. because of all these theories regarding his avatar||

[indigo shale]

||the one where the voidsent will eat his soul, because thats what they do when the pact is broken, and also what voidsent do anyway||

[thorny flax]

they purposely left out some explanations. Ishikawa isn't the writer that forgets things, when the entire expansion has almost no plot holes

[north silo]

Hot

[indigo shale]

ishikawa isnt writing more expansions after this, she said before in an interview that shes giving the reigns to other writers so who knows what we will get

[thorny flax]

which is good. More writers at SE deserve to shine

[indigo shale]

yeah, more chances for new villains and areas, different takes on everything

[thorny flax]

I hope Ishikawa takes over Kingdom Hearts because I'm a diehard KH fan COPIUM

[indigo shale]

||as good as EW was its layout was too similar to ShB, so i think it stood out less in that regard||

[thorny flax]

or at least the ff mainline series

[north silo]

Ff16 when

[indigo shale]

i think shes co writing 16 with Kazutoyo Maehiro, from at least what i heard, but that might just be a rumour

[thorny flax]

||yeah I think they should no longer rely on the outlines of shadowbringers. Some people were already madge that Endwalker wasn't about characters and their personal issues and that it was more about a philosophy and abstract concepts like the meaning of life|| ||If SE continues to stick to the same concepts it will harm XIV overall because then people are used to only getting a certain thing and will be mad everytime SE tries something new||

turning things into "traditions" is really bad.

[indigo shale]

||like it went 2 areas, split off, main area with huge conflict propelling the story, even some story beats felt like carbon copies, very like the start off ShB||

[thorny flax]

yep

[north silo]

I mean it’s pretty obvious from ShB that the next expansion was gonna be something existential

[indigo shale]

yeah but that has nothing to do with the layout

[thorny flax]

I think the funniest thing for me was the final dungeon

||"Hey if this is like shb the 3rd map of the dungeon will be something big and impressive"||

[viscid monolith]

That zone layout has been the same for every expansion though

[indigo shale]

but none of them felt as glaring as in issue, something about how it was done in ShB and EW just felt weird to me at least

[viscid monolith]

Did they? Stormblood and HW did it twice each.

Or maybe HW did it once and SB did it twice

[indigo shale]

idk, maybe its just recency bias of ShB, but it didnt feel like HW and SB was complete carbon copies of each other in execution of the start

[scenic vigil]

not to say that you guys aren't onto something in general here, but this specific point? ||should it not be big and impressive? basically the final map you're gonna roam around in and look around? (since usually after this is trial and a bunch of cutscenes) What else should it be if not big and impressive? should it be wimpy and underwhelming? should it be... i wanted to ask multiple "Should it be"s here but i cant even think of any. I think avoiding tradition for it's own sake so as to not pidgeonhole your own writing under consumers' expectations is valid and something they should consider, but I don't think it's applicable to everything so just trying to force something else in certain points just for the sake of changing leads to suggestions like this where the alternative isn't even clear ||

[viscid monolith]

Oh they weren't copies. They both just do the "Go to a zone and explore half and come back later after the plot" thing.

[marsh osprey]

god finally the grind is over

[drowsy cosmos]

This storys some Habbo Hotel type gameplay fr

[short edge]

Pneuma is so fucking cool lmao

[thorny flax]

I really like SGE in higher levels. the only thing that annoys me is the timer with the resource because I always FOMO

[short edge]

SGE feels so easy lol, don’t know how to explain it.

[blazing edge]

just got to 20% in first EW EX trial :D

[short edge]

Noice man!

[thorny flax]

the trials are so much harder this expansion

[north silo]

Nah trial 2 is easy

The first one tho….. hard af

[indigo shale]

i think tthe trials felt harder because no one knows how to play the new jobs

[viscid monolith]

What are people struggling with?

[thorny flax]

from what I have seen it looked harder than innocence but funny how the 2nd trial is the easier one again like in shb

[indigo shale]

like trial one was hard because the sage players wouldnt heal after the raid wide

[viscid monolith]

I'm afraid to even go back in trial roulette. I don't feel like wiping 5 times on a normal mode.

[static niche]

wait 89 ex is easier than 83?

[viscid monolith]

I can't even pinpoint exactly what kills people. I just look up at the party list and both healers are dead.

[indigo shale]

took 12-13 attempts for first trial normal across 3 different parties because of Sage, it took till we got a scholar and WHM to be able to do it

[viscid monolith]

Just spam heals what are they even doing

[static niche]

the first trial took me 2 wipes to clear on same party

it was a bit complicated but easy is all i know

[viscid monolith]

If nothing else, spamming heals will get you through every Ahk Morn. Of course if you use your CDs it'll be even easier.

[static niche]

89 trial wiped me once on trust cuz i got both healers Killed LMAO

[indigo shale]

like maybe i got really unlucky with parties, but barely any revives or heals would go out, nothing has ever been more tense than staying at 1 health for 10-15 seconds after the raidwide

[viscid monolith]

Ya Eliot healers not healing isn't normal or good. Those were awful healers.

[static niche]

i hope ||venat come back, i need more of her ||

[indigo shale]

||nah she never coming back, we have no way of calling people from the aetherial sea on a whim, since we used up the remaining power of the azem crystal which i still hate btw, the azem crystal is the worst thing theyve done in this game, as soon it was introduced they removed any possibility of danger coming to the scions||

[urban phoenix]

queue position 6k

yeah im not playing today it seems

[static niche]

you came too late :p sshoulda came 2 hours ago

[orchid dagger]

I finished MSQ. collapses This has been the worst most emotional warrrior-of-light week of my life.

[urban phoenix]

i slept till 2pm and visit my parents then like every sunday. i was prepared for this

[static niche]

xd

[urban phoenix]

we are here lets huddle and comfort 😄

of often did you weep?

[orchid dagger]

damn good expansion though. I think I still prefer Shadowbringers, on a personal level, but this was not the disappointment I'd been braced for it to be.

more earlier on in the 6th zone. once i hit the last dungeon, it was just a mix of exhiliration, sadness, dread, and joy.

[static niche]

the only time i actually cried was ||89 trial||

[orchid dagger]

i was moved to tears several times, but not reducing to a sobbing weeping wreck like 5.3 did.

[urban phoenix]

i was bawling right when i reached sharlayan

[orchid dagger]

i cried bunches before that, though.

[indigo shale]

suprisingly garlemald bought me to emotion, i guess im more partial to more real life settings, also ||i guess elidibus in the ocular, made me a bit sad||

[urban phoenix]

||there is this sidequest you get from a child helping her find a carbuncle puppet. she named it "moony" (moenbryda) who motivated her to explore the world when she grows bigger. she is still waiting for her to come back||

this just brought me to tears right away

[orchid dagger]

i should explain better, nothing about the last two hours made me a weeping wreck, but everything from the 5th dungeon was an emotional rollercoaster of biblical proporitions. Less a sprint of emotional outbursts, and more a long distance marathon that was a constant drain

[orchid dagger]

I got that one. that one HURT. and made me smile, too.

[static niche]

i was actually worried in 85 dungeon ||cuz of the implication from vrtra and the last boss, glad to see i was wrong.||

[urban phoenix]

yeah that one hurt really really bad. it took that sidequest out of a whime when i reached sharlayan. had to take a break like 15 minutes into the expansion....

[orchid dagger]

i didn't think anything could top the moment when ||Estinien comes out of nowhere to save Matsuya and the child||. I was wrong.

[static niche]

like what?

[orchid dagger]

||My simp showing up to give me a "what, why haven't you killed this boss yet?" pep talk. ||

[static niche]

lol

[urban phoenix]

i had to admit that was funny. ||zenos showing up and be like "what ur not done yet...cmooooon"||

[compact wedge]

||no one believes in you more than zenos||

[orchid dagger]

Found this on reddit. Too true.

[orchid dagger]

||Back on the Ragnarok, Raha can feel his place as Head Simp and First Husbando being threatened.||

[urban phoenix]

zenos remins a bit of "never gonna give youu up" XD

in a weird morbid way

[orchid dagger]

Zenos is way better villain than people give him credit for. ||While part of me feels like that was a perfect end to his story, the fact that he's basically an Ascian now means that even if he did die there, that's a minor inconvenience, at best. ||

[next quarry]

||Mom said its my turn with the WoL||

[static niche]

agreed, which is why ||i think he'll come back somehow due to how dense the d...whatever it is called is there||

[indigo shale]

||his voidsent will most likely eat his soul, he be dead dead||

[gray orchid]

With the question ||Zenos poses to you at the end it made me realise that he's basically an analogy for the player, just wanting to fight bigger and stronger things, to meet his match. Aka savage and ultimates||

[desert mulch]

Zenos be like ||Mom said it's my turn on the WoL||

[desert mulch]

||he represents story skippers who rush to raiding and dont care about the story||

[orchid dagger]

||I agree. I feel like in 2 or 3 expansiosn time, he's going to show up in a Big Damn Heroes moment, high on the power of emotion, help us kill the big bad, and have a Round 3, this time as someone who's found their reason, at long last. Yes, Zenos is an analogy for the typical MMO endgame player. Chasing item levels, ever higher.||

[indigo shale]

||like now he died, the pact will be broken, so the voidsent will do voidsent things||

[static niche]

you know how lahabrea talks all this and that about hydaelyn in ARR? well after the revelation of EW make me feel a burning hatred for that meme

[desert mulch]

||yeah, but presumably that voidsent is stuck at the edge of the universe||

[indigo shale]

well tbf at that point lahabrea was fucking insane, even elidibus is like wtf to lahabrea

[desert mulch]

"Like a parasite, she must be burned out if the planet is to recover|

[indigo shale]

||tbf he werent completely wrong though||

||we did have to kill hydaelyn to be able to deafeat that what is plaguing the star||

[gray orchid]

Kinda funny because I was just like "aw bugger off zenos" every time he turned up ||until that end fight which I actually enjoyed more than the trial before it, somehow that made it worth it, him being so annoying. Especially the face your lalafell makes when you pick option one to his question and his reaction to it||

[desert mulch]

||eh. if she died and zodiark came back, its entirely possible etheirys would eventually decide to die like other planets||

[orchid dagger]

||I wish i could find this post. Someone did a... kinda creepypasta, talking about how they had this friend who joined the game, their guild power leveled them, got them all the gear. and they mastered the game. the pvp. the ultimates. every fight, every piece of loot they wanted. They got. They were World First. Unbeatable. The game had no more challenge. No more joy. It was just a meaningless grind, full of people who at best, only held them back, if they had any effect on them at all. And then closed with "That's Zenos." Wish I could find itagain. ||

[gray orchid]

I just want a single player spin off game now where you play as Azem in a time of peace or minor conflict during the ancient's era.

Adventuring with Hythlodaeus and Emet

[indigo shale]

i want a spin off game based in the allagan era, because the era just sounds insane with all that happened

[desert mulch]

i like how they summed up as the allagans are apparently responsible for everything wrong in the world

[indigo shale]

yeah well with emet selch having a hand in it, it was still a bit ascian lead

but yeah as long as we are on the current star, everything can be tracked back to allagans pretty much

[orchid dagger]

Emet didn't control it the way he did Garlemald. He just kinda spurred its creation.

||that scene, during the end credits, where the Scions walk past the Ancient Scoobie Gang. That got a tear. ||

[indigo shale]

he still had quite a hand, probably more an advisor role than direct lead since ||amon or xande didnt seem to give a shit he was standing around talking about raising amon to the seat of fandan||

[static niche]

fuck you now i can't stop imagine ||hythlodeus saying zoinks.||

||and venat going "Jinkies!" ||

^it really do be like that tho

[orchid dagger]

XIV is the best FF game I've played in ages. Though VII-Remake did come close. They have to finish it though, before I 'll give it a final ranking.

[weary rampart]

ok

[orchid dagger]

So... just had a thought. ||Both Elidibus (back at the tower) and Venat said their souls would cease to be after their last act(s). Yet we clearly see Elidibus in the final post-game cutscene. So apparently, he was wrong. And if he was wrong, she could have been too. ||

[indigo shale]

||thats in the past where we see elidibus notice no red mask, and generic ancient mask||

[orchid dagger]

||Is it? I thought so at first, but he makes a comment like he's in an afterlife.||

[indigo shale]

||remember when elidibus said we met him elpis before we time travelled us there but we have yet to actually meet him||

[orchid dagger]

||I don't remember him saying that at all. ||

[static niche]

me either but it is what it is

[humble heron]

||he did indeed say he met us ||

[orchid dagger]

||i want to race/name change to a Loporitt named "NoFuckingWay". ||

[orchid dagger]

||how the hell did you find that so fast?! Clearly i need to hit up NG+ sooner rather than later. ||

[gaunt star]

i feel like the 89 trial is 10x harder than the 90 trial. i die so many times when i get it in queue

[viscid monolith]

Elliot took screenshots

[indigo shale]

no, i got it from someones stream

i had already watched the persons streams, so i rememebered where it was

[orchid dagger]

I'm planning on doing a complete recording of a 100% New Game Plus run of the entire game, then editing it into a kind of chronicle so i can have a record of XIV even should the servers die one day.

[raven canopy]

can anyone here tell me what this means by ||emet||

[orchid dagger]

Maybe.

[raven canopy]

err how do you upload image in spoiler

[orchid dagger]

there shoudl be a "Modify" option. use it, and then you can check it as a spoiler

i just learned that about an hour ago myself

[raven canopy]

||so when u summon back emet and hythlodeaus, emet talk about things we could explote then talk about azem's duty then he says this||

||is he azem before venat???||

[tawny gazelle]

He was there with them while they were doing it

Different people

[orchid dagger]

||Ah. THAT. he's implying he's gone and done many of the things he's teasing us with. As it to say "I did all these things. You aren't going to let me show up the great wanderer, Azem, are you?" At least that's how I took it. ||

[indigo shale]

||i dont think he was azem, emet is the sort of guy to return to the star after his time on the convocation, he wouldnt retire and then join back||

[orchid dagger]

either of their interpretations also works.

It's kept vague for a reason.

[raven canopy]

i see i see

[tawny gazelle]

Or he did it later after everything happened to pay respects to his friend

[orchid dagger]

That was how I took.

[raven canopy]

||ah yes, it was pretty heavily implied that azem, emet and hythlodeaus are friends right||

[tawny gazelle]

I remember seeing something about how they also adventured together

[orchid dagger]

||He specifically mentions the civiliations on other shards, and there were no shards when Azem was around. ||

[tawny gazelle]

True

[raven canopy]

||yeah make sense, he probably just taunting us||

[tawny gazelle]

Egging on moreso

[raven canopy]

yeah something like a friendly taunt tho egging is more appropriate

[orchid dagger]

||Yeah, i'd call it more teasing. It's also a 4th wall breaking way of the devs to tell us all the ideas they've got on the whiteboard for future expansions. To reassure us that just becuse this epic is over, doesn't mean the story (ie game) is. ||

[raven canopy]

ah, man playing this expansion pack makes me want to replay the whole game again, it has been a very satisfying journey ever since i pick the game up in ARR

[indigo shale]

||yeah i feel that line was put in specifically, because of the end of 5.3 and grahas words||

[orchid dagger]

||The only part I objected to was the "breaking up" of the Scions. I mean, you're all going... to keep doing what you were doing. Just... back in the shadows. Until you're needed. In which case you'll quickly be outed as not being disbanded. So... there's no point to this gesture other than adding another thematic layer to the "end of an era" thing||

[indigo shale]

||well the scions role was to stop the ascians and primal summoning they are no longer needed||

[raven canopy]

||i think they do it so the nation in eorzea don't rely on them||

[orchid dagger]

Same. I just need to clean out my bags, settle on a final fantasia appearance, and figure out how to record footage (i dont' stream or do YT)

[indigo shale]

||the scions mission has been fulfilled completely they have no MO anymore||

[humble heron]

@orchid dagger you can download OBS, its pretty easy to use it as a recording software

[raven canopy]

i also plan to stream it just so i have the archive easily accessible for myself

[orchid dagger]

does it work better than one of the built in options from Windows or Nvidia?

[raven canopy]

so no need to take space in my PC and i can easily delete the file after

[orchid dagger]

but stream VODs get wiped after 2 months don' they?

[indigo shale]

man 4 hour in queue and still only got to position 700

[orchid dagger]

Yeah i don't think i'm goign to be playing much until next weekend....

[raven canopy]

oh even the one on youtube?

[orchid dagger]

oh i don't know about YT.

[humble heron]

I would say its a little more user friendly and designed for recording long play sessions

[orchid dagger]

Hmm, okay.

i hope so

[static niche]

[ornate shale]

The Balance discord (for RPR) has is DET=DH>Crit, but also says you can do Crit>DH=DET, but you have to make a choice on one or the other. They also pointed out that Crit is generally weaker at the start of an expac, but testing still being done?
