You have to get hit by the aoe zone that makes you small, then go stand in the purple goo
IIRC
I think it's the monky one
i have not seen this place once in my entire life 
I vaguely remember it
I remember there was a mistbeard quest, yes, but this hard version? never seen it
It's a sidequest in which Limsa asks you to gauge their current military form in HWs, and say they lined up a bunch of stuff to do that on the isle
oooh
I'll bail, this has been fun
aye, tis time
"Can I ride in the sidecar?"
"no"
i love how they added a bike mount in 6.2 and then made a second one with Additional Alpha you can get in the cash shop, lmao
(tbf it is a fan creation)
i really wish it was your currently assigned minion instead of Alpha (don't get me wrong I love Alpha PLEASE DONUT EXECUTE ME) but it'd be hilarious driving around with a a mini Solus or Hauchefaunt giving people PTSD
This is adorable
That is the perfect angle to take a picture from

haha, im in danger
ill have to block the ff14 tags on tumblr so a stray post from some mutual doesnt pop up n spoil me
sorted my level 90 jobs by ilvl 
wait, AST is higher than RPR... Not for long but you know

my main goal rn is being able to basically any Roulette as RPR (So ILVL 605)
Anything more is a bonus until 6.5
now why i would do this when i already have a DPS at that and my AST is being neglected...
REAPER'S SO FUN AT 90
||https://vxtwitter.com/saku_FF11/status/1684371066351943681||
Definitely the peak sb moment 
jfc i got the Augmented Lunar Envoy scythe and my ILVL jumped from 578 to 590
wait oops
damn windows ui
that's rad
@hasty kayak THERE I made my RED mage RED
friendship with hc restored, best au ra
thanks
she was part of a previous event but I liked her so much I ended up getting her from the store
if nanamo wasnt a quest reward id do the same, i understand
i have to stress and you make me wait for it? no wonder noone wants to play tank
also quick question how high is ur rdm
is this a new job u started that i missed or is this an older thing ur comin back to
well that was a fun ShB raid of mechanics I forgot
both tanks die
i get rezzed first even though i'm off tank
fucking panic
well i panicked a bit but i steeled thyself and Provoked
IMPASTA!?!??! 

Just got a drop from P9 that I replaced a level 80 piece of gear with to make my RPR a flat 6 hungo
5 more and I can do Expert as RPR 
nice work
e d g e
pretty cool

got a second Helmet and decided to use it on RPR
also i changed the weapon dye to red, i ran out of pots of Dalmund Red and had to restock
ysale cosplay?

The teaser's wild yo
||Dawntrail. Scion of Seventh Dawn. Yeahhhhh...Got it||
Seems like they are hinting to ||Corsair|| as one of the next classes
||Not sure if I like Dawntrail or Golden Legacy more||
Summer 2024?
Bringi might finally finish Endwalker by then
Actually possible, basically a full year away
Hell I might finish 6.4 by then
Endwalker? I thought bringi would finish ShB by then
because a certain FRIEND of mine hasn't played MSQ in forever and I'm hardwalled on the 6.4 trial without them >_>
I should catch up with my jp dc character eventually
||Given the theme of exploring a "New World" and being ON A GODDAMN BOTE it would fit thematically! Another melee DPS would be cringe but ehhhh I dunno Corsair outside of it being a pirate thing||
I expected another character that uses rogue set and this makes a whole lot of sense
Since it's the only one that is used by a single class
So a Dex melee DPS was very likely
Do you realise how many fucking BUTTONS that class has
@elfin wave @zinc harness
Was just announced.
ngl Golden Legacy sounds like a name from JoJo
Yooo
that is some wacky poster art
Bringy might be able to make it on time actually
its cute how much faith everyone has in my ability to not get distracted
misguided, but cute
It's a literal year

I said this so
Heres the thing
Bringy went through stormblood quite fast soo
We will see with shadowbringers
Spoiler alert btw, in Dawntrail, Lyse dies again
4.0 took four months...
thats considered fast?
I feel like ShB should take longer than SB
Ohhh is that the name of the next expansion?
Yep, there is also a teaser
Excellent
That said the current versions out are mixed a bit bad, waiting for an official upload
honestly the best part i watched was Yoshi P entering the stage to ||With Hearts Aligned||
because why fucking not, lmao
Haven't been playing much xiv, it doesn't hold my attention as much as it used to, probably because Endwalker was completed so beautifully that I'm just waiting for the next saga
Perhaps I played it too much lol
The break has been nice
I just wish I could actually play with you all
Hiya Denzy!
Hiya
It’s been a while since I’ve been on it.
This is the one that's out for the moment, in case you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szkHO84SYLY
My drive towards the game has shifted over time with EW completed
Nah, I'ma wait
This is too important for PK and me not to see together when it's officially released
hopefully cross data center will come sooner rather than later
Fucking mood
So that means we could play without having to switch servers all the time?
Are you the Duck HC
I really hope with a title like Dawntrail, we see more influence from One Piece since Yoshida has been reading it and said that everyone should read it
Fashion sense is the best part of the game
honestly i just wanted an excuse to post my rpr glam again
Glamours are still my favorite thing to explore
fuckin' bloodborne lookin' ass
What level are you now?
I love my rpr glam but I suck at melee so I don't get to use it often since it utilizes pieces that only that job can wear because it's the only melee I like
Oh my god new job info already?


Wasn't expecting this for a while actually
Cant wait to check out all the info this weekend with PK
They hinted but so far just confirmed which roles they are filling
Heeealer?
It'll be ||Melee DPS and Magic DPS||
too lazy to boot up the game
Ooooh nice HC
I am still holding onto hope for the eventual implementation of Chemist as a healer
look punching things is fun but i had other priorities
Last time we got a ||magical DPS|| was ||Stormblood|| so I'd say it was damn time
SMN lvl 90
SCH lvl -
It's my number one job I want to see

yes i'm aware i haven't even unlocked Scholar
it scares me
because i'll be instant level 90 with NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK to do
friendship ended with hc again this is not something a red mage bein red can salvage
Anyway, I need to focus on work, or this will consume all my attention if I'm not careful
I heard JP people joking about monk getting revive at new levels
Oh gosh, my favorite thing about FFXIV expansion news is the new location reveals, especially the concept art
"Monks should be able to punch your heart and bring you back to life"
we should it's true
I love XIV's world so fucking much
It's the only thing I've seen whose worldbuilding is good enough to rival One Piece's
Bet you can’t wait for the music.
The music is something I always eagerly look forward to
The funny part of this is that when 7.0 drops, it will basically be FFXIV-2, we're likely going to replay through the entire game with the completed graphical overhaul, so we'll probably be late to the Dawntrail party
I am unsure if it'll be worth it, most gear will probably be slowly updated overtime so in most of the older places it wont even be noticeable on launch day
Except maybe for the shadows
I'm not replaying for the gear lol
It's to reexperience the story with improved visuals and stuff
I've been wanting to go through it again anyway, I've been just been waiting for the update
My god this game needed better shadows so bad
I wonder how much XP will be needed to get to level 100.
of the whole graphical update, the shadows are easly the one thing it'll have the bigger impact IMO
Will the draw distance be better as well?
Yoshi P keeps showing off greenery and the stream is just a constant "SUCH VEGETATION" for the past like, 30 minutes
As expected
I’m not even on endwalker yet 
I am trying to guess what jobs "TMNT Mutant Mayhem" T-shirt means
So far the two theories I've seen, is either ||the melee class will be a dual weilder, or the caster class will be Green Mage||
I heard that you can level the blue mage up further now?
What class do you use the most?
I’m using warrior just now.
Mostly SMN or WAR depending if I'm doing stuff at lvl 90 or lower
But I swap around a lot
no longer will we have to suffer "this piece would look so good if only was THIS part a different color"
(to be clear im only lookin at whats posted here im scared to watch stream)
It's relatively light in spoilers (still don't watch the trailer) because the previous story finished and the new one is beginning in this expansion.
So there is very little to tie back to previous expansions
Yeah, also means that people can access SAM and RDM as they touch LVL 50, so it's something that impact trial players much earlier than they get to Stormblood
Oh no it's coming to Xbox
Whyyy
When XI went to Xbox there was a sharp drop in player quality
It's not that it matters like, at all
Game's easy and the parts that aren't you need a static anyway
Besides it's not like MMOs on console are a new thing now
So many bad memories you have no idea
I shouldn't have to explain to a BLM in their 40s what a magic burst is

But you're right, XIV is pretty easy, especially compared to XI
Yeah and as I said, it's not like people on console never touched a MMO nowdays.
ESO, BDO, Destiny, Phantasy Star....etc
It's an established genre at this point
It was specifically it being on 360 that caused issues
Since it was already established even on the PS2
heyyy i recgonize that raid
Official link for the teaser trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onGE1-I2T6Y
suppose using that particular attack is a good example
could have made something up but nop, i appreciate that
also
2 GLAMOUR DYES TWO GLAMOUR DYES TWO GLAMOUR DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYES

I was hoping for a bit sooner than Summer but I'm hyped, can't wait for the full trailer in a few months
i trust the writers to write a compelling story even with no hooks from previous expansions at this point
Real???
looks like it
Something new is falling into Eorzea! ✨
A #FFXIV 🤝 #FallGuys collaboration confirmed!
Both FFXIV and @FallGuysGame will have rewards for fans to collect! 👑 https://t.co/nNcVCNKEvr

Plot twist for new expansion: || There’s no conflict or dire threat. It’s just a 120 hour beach episode. There’s a 20 hour arc where Y’Shtola gets her first kiss with a new bookworm character.||

Something of note in the trailer... ||where's Alphi?||
We hear his voice so I assume he's also traveling with us
One thing to note, yoshi-P said this by voice so it's not necessarily apparent in the trailer, but apparently ||The scions will end up on two opposing sides of a conflict in the New World, so it'll be interesting to see who end up where||
And why
And exactly what that conflict consists of
I expect this story to be relatively light compared to EW, the trailer has this ||"We are on vacation, let's have some fun and get involved in this thing" vibe, combined with the seafaring aesthetic it kinda reminds me of One Piece||
If the melee class is indeed ||corsair|| I will almost certainly switch to it for the MSQ at least
I hope that by the end of it we get introduced to what ||will be the next big problem we'll tackle in the next few expansions, but I don't expect this one to be about that problem||
Well I also haven't finished EW so I ain't clicking that 
There is basically no spoilers for EW I think, if you watched the trailer that's all the context you need to click on those spoilers
||Estinien|| and being surrounded by children or small people. Name a better duo. Oh, wait, I already have. ||G'raha|| and marveling at food.
It really feels like ||one big vacation, Thancred pick up chicks, Uri with a drink served in a pineapple, Yshtola checking out ancient ruins, and the WOL challenging god kings to duels we really need to find a real hobby||
||what are all the crafting skills if not hobbies? Also fishing.||
People are theorizing that the new jobs are Corsair and Pictomancer
||Many people are drawing Graha eating a big taco, from trailer, and I like the trend. He's my favorite character anyway.||
Im just hoping Lyse finally dies in next expansion
Also speaking of finishing EW, has all the story content/patches been released or is there still one coming? I know the story tends to carry over to the next xpac but I'm more asking can I go through all the patches of EW yet or not, finish it in one go so to speak
There is still one more patch for EW, but also, unlike other expqacts, the story concludes in 6.0
The patch content is another thing entirely
I think the post-Endwalker story concluded in 6.4, and 6.5 will introduce the next expansion. Something that in the past happened in .4 and .5 patches.
Nah post EW story didn't conclude yet
They are doing stuff differently this time around
They concluded the whole story arc in 6.0
In 6.1 to 6.5 they are telling a different story altogether
And I don't think there will be significant lead in the expansion
cannon
Someone (I think Denzi) said that Yoshi P has been reading a lot of One Piece, lol
||We used to have horsebirds and orchestration rolls until Tataru froze our expenses account|| 
i don't care if that was framed as a lie, to me that shit is canon
||i think this is just Squenix acknowledging how much people loved G'raha eating a burger in EW||
oh wow okay lemmie just burn all my seals, lol
I've been capped at 50k for a hilariously long time 
...
...
...
you know i wouldn't put me past me to give her bunnygirl gear but this is the game's fault i swear-
okay, so when do you think I should resub? I generally don't care about the high end stuff like extreme and am mainly there for the story
If you want to be super efficent about it, put a month as 6.5 or 6.55 comes out
That way you have all the 8 men raids (which already ended) the alliance raid story (which is exceptional) and all the stuff that's story related before the next expansion
Cause I did do the first part of EW, to my knowledge, with (bringi don't click) || the scions disbanding and them wandering off to do other stuff)||
Right
If you want to do more stuff, like if you are up to date with hildybrand the relics this expansions are easy, whenever is a good moment to start
I'm prety sure i've never done a single Hildebrand quest 
Then you essentially finished Endwalker release content, the other story already started but should finish in 6.5
(At least, for the current steps
It'll prolly be 6k total once the final step comes out)
me: "am i missing something in ffxiv"
also me: "FUCK, THE JUMBO CACTPOT"
pizza time starts playing as i prepare to get funky


amazing!!! @CrystalThirst #ffxiv
💖 4
drop kicks the cosplayer
shit like this is why the grand company relies on me too much
So we watched yesterday's 7.0 keynote opening from fan fest and my fucking god, this game just doesn't stop getting better and better
I was actually crying from sheer hype and how much I love this game and how thankful I am that this is the one area that still captures the glory that Square Enix was foolish enough to throw away
I really need to see the full trailer, I love the vibes
But my question is still "What the hell are ||we doing in the new world?||"
HAHA
I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO WORK OUT
never touchjing this goddamn motherrfucking squadron shit again
Once I get back into FF14 I'm leveling machinist
I have learned the joys of guns and fantasy machines
eugh, not this scifi nonsense in my medieval fantasy game
"magitek has existed since day one and you already know ||moon's haunted||"
shut up and lemme live in denial
machinists n gunbreakers dont exist. we just dont acknowledge them here at bringi n co. im sorry 
To deny truth once seen... such foolishness
I kinda like how they melded tech in FFXIV
The way they did it, it's not just objectively superior to not using tech but it's more of a separate branch of development next to normal magic
Some things tech can't do and magic can do, some things tech is superior, and in a lot of applications they need to be combined
The lyrics for the song: ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DckIhCYoqA||
WoL's fight with a big baddie being cut just as he was "about to transform to a new job" got me blueballed lmao. Also made me think that WoL has killed gods upon gods...how strong are these Tural natives to get the WoL on his knees? Little details we can ignore hehe.
Anyway, as usual these lyrics are not official and are just my interpretations...
It's pretty great
It goes so hard, I love how they references all past expansions too
And yet it's about ||chilling and relaxing somehow||
||beach episode||
I can't get over how ||everyone is relaxing, eating local food, or exploring the new world and we are literally just fighting what I assume to be the ruler of the city, which sets us on fire in the process...the WOL doesn't fucking know how to relax, I love it||
Im so excited for this expansion
YoshiP said that the FFXIV team has been experimenting with getting the FF1-6 pixel remasters running inside FFXIV so you can play them from the Gold Saucer or from in your estate, but they’re having technical difficulties with it since it would involve several layers of middleware
And has sorta put out a call for some engineers to help them 
It’s like the Animal Crossing concept on the GameCube where you can play classic NES games by putting down the relevant NES item in your house
Nintendo should do that more, that was really neat.
nope that costs them MONEY that they could be making RESELLING THEM DIGITALLY 
ahem
i wonder if they've done it already in other games
i know Metroid: Zero Mission did that with the original NES game
i mean that's how the Machinist storyline goes
You're actively trying to convince Ishgard that the art of Machinist is actively worth it, lmao
||WoL needs money for Horsebirds and Orchestration Rolls. Return to Oblivion got scalped pretty hard||
that second one still sends me because ||I fucking love Return to Oblivion and if I was so inclined I'd probably drop a half million gil just to have it play on my estate||
okay i need 🧅s
Discount Thancred or Mini Oni Enforcer?
I can feel my sanity decline as glamour takes over my life more and more
7.0 will mark my true descent when i can double up on dye
It'll be so good with metal armor
As I expect one channel will be the metal hue, and the other the cloth around it
It'll be so much easier to make different pieces fit together
I'm leaning towards Discount Thancred but that's because my new obsession is trying as many dyes as possible on gear I already have
Oriel: You're the bodyguards, right? We need your help! It's my husband─after he walked out, I thought I'd seen the last of him, but now... You've got to keep him away from us!
Radovan: Ah...I'm not sure we're qualified to settle domestic disputes.
Sophie: Radovan! This sounds serious. Hear her out, would you!?
I meaaaaaaan I don't mind enacting violence on abusive husbands!

Sometimes I forget that I am canonically smol
AYO WHAT THE FU- 
"Oh it's just a domestic situation, probably not worth our time."
five minutes later
"Nevermind it's human trafficking!~"
I mean you'd think I'd be exaggerating...
Man what a fun story this is
The dad's a former gambling addict who ruined his wife and son's life
The mother became a drug addict and nearly sold her own son into slavery in order to keep on her addiction
Gunbreaker more like Funbreaker!~
Sophie he's a cat person, that's extremely insensitive
snaps fingers now i remember what ur outfit reminds me of
those white corp grunts from pokemon sun n moon games

its the hat
Appointed Hat my beloved~
I don't have many good hats to suit a "Mercenary" look, y'know?
bruh this mfer playing Blink 182
One thing I do kinda miss about Limsa is random people just hangin' around and doing Bard Shit™️
ehhhh
don't mind the white bottom, I'm manually cropping thes and then combining in ShareX to avoid image spam
I picked the 4th one (Lawless Enforcer Hat)
Alternatively for a more "Rootin' Tootin' Yeehaw Chucklefucks" look
Which I think is trying a little too hard to make it work and comes of a lil' goofy
plus i prefer the beeg coat
gives it more of a Dante look
god i forgot how packed Limsa is
me randomly adventuring and seeing a new(?) player:
"I'mma go RPR and scaret he shit out of them, lmao"
I mean just because I know there's no PVP outside of designated instances doesn't mean that they know!
ahh shit like this is going to get me banned
i saw the pouches n thought "thats a crafter leave them aloooooone" n then zoomed in "oh a book" n then i noticed the fuckin carbuncle at last
why tf would a crafter be wandering outside of a city
gatherer, sure
but why a crafter 
i definitely didnt die before when i was doin weaver questline
never
for sure
ahaha

Sadly, the culinarian doesn't have the stun weaponskill anymore
bullshit
there's a Tonberry knife you can get and everything
...
... ... ...
i
...
is there an opposite of ban option where i make ff14 mods look at someone's profile n go "this is exactly how your game should be played i just felt u should know that"
hydaelyn forgive me for i am about to commit a crime
inhales spendin money on silly mmo emotes
ITS A MONK DANCE, IM SORRY
THIS IS PERSONALLY TARGETED AT ME AND I CAN NO LONGER RESIST
inside you are two wolves cats one is sayin "this is dumb" n the other is "you are a workin adult and this is a price of like two coffees and you deserve nice things as a treat"
Bringy nooo
how do i gud video
i used a combination of OBS and /gpose / /grouppose
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BE A TANK
i dont know how to make quality not suck but whatever i go brrrrrr
worth it a thousand percent these screenshots are so darn PRETTY
looks fancy
Can only be bought while you have an active sub -_-

How long is a realm reborn in ffxiv?
Uhhhhh
Depends on how much sidetracking you do
Pretty long, if you actively follow the story it's basically the lenght of a JRPG
maybe a bit shorter
It's at least several days worth of questing
Cuz i wanna try and get into ffxiv but so far a realm reborn isn't totally catching my interest from what ive played
ARR is widely considerd the weakest part of the game
It's a bit of a slog, well worth it though
It's a lot of setup and not much payoff, it gets a lot better already in the post release patches
I might try and re download it on my ps5 then
And a lot of the things set up during ARR get picked up in later expansions
play on EU so we can harass you
They also shorten it a lot since release, trimmed out a lot of fat and timewasters
I already have a character in NA
It's cross platform yeah, for the longest time two of my friends were playing on PS
AHHHH CROSS DATA CENTRE WHEN SQUENIX
I WANNA ANNOY AMERICANS
Up to you, consider if you want to deal with the extra latency tho if you play on EU
my internet sucks anyway
my fucking ISP can choke on a chocobo turd
100 ping is normal for me
at least it hasn't gone off Today™️
They hopefully will enable datacenter travel cross region eventually, it's really annoying they didn't yet
Doing a random Endwalker quest and this brilliant exchange comes up.
||Gaius: To hear you speak so, she (Tataru) is clearly not one to be trifled with. I shall heed your words should I ever meet her at the negotiating table.||
nice work
I can do the new Variant dungeon as RPR now 
oh i could do that already, lol (605 required)
i prefer my level 90 glam
also i looked up where the scythe comes from
||of course it has to be EX Crystal bitch||

did p9-12 as RPR
DPS is fun when you're not screaming
if i had to rank them from best to least goodest:
P11, P9, P10, P12 
He's ranking by his skill (or lack thereof)
And personal warning, to anyone who ever plays with his as a healer in higher end content, be ready to rez at any moment, he likes teleporting off of cliffs
Indeed, skill issue, your skill issue
Oi, you're the one who stood me up almost a week ago
god why are The Primals so good holy shit ||https://youtu.be/oI671BAORUM|| spoilering since it's technically shadowbringers spoilers even if the music video has no obvious indicators of spoilers

Between this and ||A Fleeting Moment|| I've been listening to this over and over and over and over and over and I do not get sick of it
(I think I like P11 too much)
I beat my first dungeon


They said they were on PS5 so screenshots might be a tricky thing to get out of them
Heres my character
Its actually pretty easy to take screenshots on ps5 since theres a built in feature that lets you take them
CAT 🐱
Nice character
I stopped playing for a bit cuz if freezing cold in my basement
Thanks
Heretic
yes thank you gold saucer very good
also, rate my MCH
i could probably take a better picture
here's a better one
I like how there is a separate role from 'ffxiv' which is literally just "bringi will ping you when party is needed"
one of the biggest mod flex possible 

Mod abooooooose
yeehaw
(sophisticatedly) yeehaw
i did not mean to ping thaaaaat darn
so i found out my Junkmonger in my house sells
G L O O M P U R P L E
also took the time to modify my hud a bit
one annoying thing is that job bars are all seperate 
6.4 finished
Against my will
finally got high enough rank with the birdies for savuna
not as cool as the snek griffin but i like the birdies a lot
i just love that the questline utilizes U L T I M A T E D A N C E O F F S its so silly
now, where were we in shadowbringers..... oh thats right the very first quest 
nothin ventured nothin gained i suppose



i do not remember we had biggs n wedge VAs at all so this voice actin is a surprise 
augh not this asshole again
tataru nooooooo i miss you already
||MINFILLIA HIII||
sidenote if someone kept givin me migraines on purpose i would actually murder them i dont care if its ||the only way to do intergalactic phone call|| that is so rood
lol
my memory isnt good enough to remember ||if this peddler resembles the one in arr carriage or not, it would callback nicely||
It is indeed a callback
anyway somethin somethin "aw shit here we go again"
I hope you remember your lore!
So far your ||"travel to the 1st"|| theory seems pretty strong, there is a lot of light happening here.
The lorebomb also known as emotional murder expansion
wonder if ||the narrator this time is supposed to be warrior of darkness or me.|| i guess they wouldnt ||give WOL a canon inside head voice so, maybe it's WOD's accounts n we will happen to mirror them a bunch. or its someone completely different but... i dont even know, estinien? his ass still hasnt shown up in ages n i cant put it past him to go "oh shit, this is the edgy expansion? count me the fuck in"||
I mean this is supposed to be the ||WoD world, if you are right on where you are, so it'd make sense||
Also the ||WoD was voiced by a pretty awesome VA, so it'd be a winning move to bring him back||
you makin me WALK here????? look i know it makes sense logically but i wouldnt DARE abandon my chicken or my lizard or my newest second chicken ||to somethin as petty as interdimensional travel||, how could you
i would abandon the bitch™ dragon in a heartbeat though you can keep that one
honestly this ||over-light|| world isnt too bad, i mean the woods are purple
no, not yet

I am always delighted to see them, so to each their own
That said, I wouldn't repeat them, they are fun once
||I still remember people getting serious trouble during EW||
UL DAH REPRESENT
i dont care that its the wrong answer bunni, its the correct one in my heart
HOME RIDING HOME is something I like but also I will never forget the moment you log in during the ShB period
(No the song's title is not HOME RIDING HOME)
Anyone who ever used shb title screen would instantly be traumatized when they hear HOME /j
Rip peddler


I hope you don't, you can see the crystal, your hand will hurt
i am a monk
||And your emotion too||(spoiler)
my hands cant hurt they are made for punchin
Let's see, at this rate I feel like a day or two would be suffice until the Welcome to the Shadowbringer
👊 🐱 👊
ah, guess thats our "proper" comfirmation of where the fuck we are ||(thought the presence of minfillia in trailer made it a 95% thing i suppose)||
Yep, they do confirm it right away
Also, now you know the real secret everyone is keeping from people still going through the story
||Shadowbringers is a fucking Isekai||
i hereby rename this guy to ||truck-kun||

I love ||truck-kun||
yeah im puttin my bet gil on ||WOD narrator||
it should be noted that i am literally deaf in VA recognition so if ur pullin your hair out with a "how is it not obvious???!" that is why 
i do not remember ppl's voices period

For those unaware, the WOD english VA is Joe Dempsie, of Game of Thrones fame.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Dempsie
Joseph Maxwell Dempsie (born 22 June 1987) is an English actor, best known for his roles as Chris Miles in the E4 teen comedy-drama Skins (2007–2008) and Gendry Baratheon in Game of Thrones (2011–2013; 2017–2019).
Dempsie's earlier acting credits include the medical dramas Peak Practice (2000), Doctors (2001–2003), and Sweet Medicine (2003), as ...
Which isn't a surprise given how clearly inspired Heavenswards was from GoT at the time of its release, they must have really liked the idea of getting one of the actors from the show to voice the WoD at the time (In 3.x)
JP VA of him is Jun-ichi Suwabe
i like how the devs are like "did you know we improved our camera for this new expansion? let us flex real quick durin this tutorial"
I think mine was Limsa because
duhh
Depends on your starting class
My home is and always will be Gridania
Mine was Gridania as I started as a lancer, even tho I switched to Marauder at 15 and proceed to tanking for the whole ARR
My JP character started from Limsa
hmmmm. if ||truck-kun's origin is a respected secret, that would suggest he isnt originally from the first. that would cut guesses from my list for the likes of alt ukulele.|| somethin to keep in a mind backpocket
Also seeing Bringi finally start ShB is hilarious because (6.4 DO NOT CLICK bringi I SWEAR TO CRYSTAL MOM I WILL TURN THIS THREAD AROUND) ||Riiight at the end they hint that 6.5 will have us returning to The First to sort out the Thirteenth and Zero(amogu)mus||
The what
if you haven't finished 6.4 none of that makes sense
because fuck you
wait 6 months for 6.5 so we can finally finish this arc so I can go on vacation
literally just finished it today because my buddy got off his arse and caught up
Part 1 at least
I am sad that we won't be getting 6.66
THE AMALJAA??????
lol
okay so when they said ||"shards are a reflection" || they really meant it
Wait you still have your sprout?
no race explanations yet
alt nanamo lmao
sprout doesnt go off until i start endwalker, nay?
Yes, the sprout goes away when you complete the last quest of the previous expansion
So shadowbringers
I think there was a time limit too
Maybe
if the amaljaa are different, why not chocobos 
first dungeon of Endwalker rolls around
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I started during ShB so I think I lost mine as soon as I got to ShB yeah
Didn't take me long
To be clear, with last quest I mean the last 5.55 quest.
Not the 5.0 quest.
Basically you have to be ready to click the first Endwalker quest
in that case who wants to bet ill have sprout in ew too because dt will actually come put before then

not that id do it on purpose i just dont trust my willpower to stay on track
That would be quite something
It means that you only took 1 year to finish both expansions, but just to finish Shadowbringers
looks up the last ShB MSQ
||This duty is long in gameplay, so it is best to set aside sufficient time (around 30-45 minutes) to complete it.||
OH NOW I REMEMBER THAT TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA
It is pretty hard to get sidetracked during ShB and EW imo, because they literally bombard you with lores and moments
bringi will definitely manage
i still have a month left before its officially a year, i started durin september im fairly sure
especially once they find the ||dwarves|| I feel
Rather I would be worried if you get sidetracked too much you may lose your track
realising i've been stealth bombing ShB spoilers to bringi every time I used my greeting

SHB does a pretty good job with partioning the expansion in distinct sections, with natural stopping points for getting sidetracked IMO, it shouldn't be a big problem

They always had them, it's just that they didn't chose to put them right next to the camera in a main cutscene in the previous expansions
Which was a bold choice
I guess you could say
it was the First Squape
What baffled me was that the grape there already had a better polygon than the squape
🥁
Like what
Ehh..barely better
I would say it's pretty comparable
This one is a bit fatter, interesting that they already had that asset and just remade it almost identical in the next expansion

I wonder how many grape variations are in the game files
maybe because that area is a lot bigger
so they had to skimp resources s o m e w h e r e
They are a bit more hidden, which is why they look better is my guess
man what is with FFXIV recently and memeing the shit out of food
There is no imperfection you can hide when they are in a super bright enviorment and next to the camera, they are there in all their glory
||I like the new trend of Graha eating some big food and be happy in trailers|| (probably spoiler)
destroyed
Listen, ||the smart ones were all kidnapped by your boss, they sent me||
we are the token jock for literally every other scion nerd
(even thancred, though he resents the accusation)
Well there's alisaie /j
daddy thancred intensifies
look i don't even like gnb but he needed that glowup in the trailer
i sense a touch of bias in this historic account
The funny thing, is that you are actually a throve of pratical knowledge, because you can effortlessly extract other people memories from job crystals.
So you can do the same things someone that studied a subject for decades without actually having to open a book.
||This reminds me that one scene in EW where Estinien panicked when he realised that he has no job|| (6.0 spoiler)
lmao
"||Shit, I've just been wandering around since 3.5, can I join your crew? I hear you have a free slot since Lyse left and Papalymo did a Papalymo||"
It was such a great scene
also damn, ||WODs rlly took their time to space travel if 100 years managed to pass since their battle thingy. not everyone can nyoooooom around like ascians i guess||
Wellllll
The more you know
kinda the whole world got blown up to shit by Light and death monsters
Something is definitely weird with the timeline, but it will be explained
It is definitely fun to see new players create a theory and then ShB instantly responds with "lol no"
And with explained I mean handwaved with "magic, don't worry about it"
But some theories work
idk that can be Lyse
spoke too soon n the next dialogue box agreed 
Thats my favourite tatru line, “safe travels, warrior of light”
Also bringy
How the hell do you reply to me in dms so fast when it’s ffxiv?
But anything else takes 5 years?
it's magic
skill issue

Here is a tip for theorizing in ShB and forward bringi
Choose the most traumatizing option

Cancel culture invading ffxiv 
because thats a tragedy
It supposed to renew on 6th but im having money issues…sooo im canceling the sub until 10th
When my credit card renews
Just buy 6 month's at a time
I can't wait to see bringi reaching ||the Tesleen scene|| (spoiler)
ooh, so they aint called amaljaa
Thats Lyse
Yea u racist
She dies
Jk
iirc that is the name for chocobo?
... oh
amaro is the name of the bird yeah, but also they aren't called amaljaa so you aren't wrong
You are just right for the wrong reasons
Ah yes one of the most dreading moment
You start ShB, reach the first hub city, and you can't attune
Instant panic
huh?
A lot of people try to attune as soon as they reach the city
what's a ||recording node|| doin here. ||more allagan space travel i suppose||
It’s Lyse
i guess that could also mean more evidence for ||crystal tower catboi||
At the time I wasn't unsure what to make of it, my guess ||was that this was a reflection of the tower in the source||
And if that one is ||allagan, this one would also have to be somewhat connected||
aw man i dont really remember ||minfilla bein called by anyone specific, just that she agreed to WODs wishes, so i guess we´re back at "WOD could be truck-kun"||
What the hell is a truck kun?
scroll up
||btw I am pretty sure that you could almost instantly ask the exarch if he is Graha Tia, but my guess is bringi simply forgot his name and didn't notice? idk|| (spoiler)
specifically its in reference to this exchange
cmon gums ur manechat ff thread lore is already outdated, gotta keep up
I don’t get it
the most common isekai trope is "protagonist is transported/reborn into a new world after being hit by a truck"
You type too fast!
Interesting
okay yeah its maybe 95% ||crystal tower catboi if they literally namedrop the structure like this||
||only if bringi didn't forget his name...||
But if he ||summoned it doesn't it imply he was there before the tower?||
Then again, it's a "they say" so it could not be accurate
I like how one of the most lore heavy dungeons in shb has one of the best tracks in the entire game
true
fair guess I'd say
maybe time fuckery is the reason ||yshtola is suddenly matoya||
idk i dont understand what's up with that part
Oh yeah that is in trailer
||The Twinning?||
mhmm, time fuckery
that is not a nod, but sure
CRAFTER SIDE QUESTING MY ADORED
You will probably like the crafter quests, I like what they did with it
oh okay this is probably gonna b about the ||race thingy|| discrepancy
at least they named hyur n elezen as easy variants

oh okay oh okay, its been ||years for other scions||
that is some very wacky time shenanigans
time dilation is a hell of a drug
points aggresively ||LALI HO||
i didn't think they'd get a mention so early on
man now i'm just thinking of the ||dwarf|| you meet in the healer questline
I miss my ||Giott||, manechat
I miss her a lot
ah yes, okay okay alright
that's what his name was
where the fuck is ur ||tail buddy||
lol

... a curious answer
You really missed the moment when you can call the exarch ||graha tia|| as soon as you meet him
.... i dont think that was there?

traumatic knitting accident
I mean if he is him, ||the fact that half of his body is crystal might mean that he lost it in the crystalisation process, or maybe he is hiding it||.
Or maybe he is someone else and never had it
The ||lack of tail|| is what made me dubious of that theory at the time
It should be, the option appears if you cleared the crystal tower, which became mandatory since 5.3
Which is very curious why it wasn't required before
its that stupid floooooooooor
I guess making it mandatory as soon as updating 5.0 was too much of a blatant spoiler
That one that was linked is the only dialogue options that mentions g'raha tia, so you might be confusing it with that one
for 7.0 they should make the ShB Alliance Raid mandatory
sigh time fuckery. this is becoming homestuck all over again
not for any particular reason
just to fuck with people
listen all the terms in this game sound too similar -
I'm refusing to elaborate on why until you unlock it
I feel like, if anything, they should make all the ShB role quests mandatory, together with the triads
That stuff is barely optional if you want to understand shit about anything going forwards
Triads?


funny Sepirot series
i want ysthola to smack him with a staff
i don't think i got Sophia EX this week on Tails
Oh I'm pretty sure it happened
I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT DETAIL, GAME
also Gen, one of the ShB role quests is mandatory
why does the game adore nakey than this is the second time
Pick your poison but you gotta pick one
with less squirrels this time
round and round the trauma goes
True but I'm talking of the bit after ||you did all of them, and the part after that ties up with HWs story||
where it gonna land
who tf knows
ahhhh.
Yeah the problem with that is you'll need people to get 4 classes to 80.
Even if two of them are Sage and Reaper, you still need a magic DPS and a Tank, IIRC
Yeah they can't really make them mandatory, but man they should
like the most efficent(???) method would be to pick Arcanist or Thaumatage and make those your mains until 60/70 where you can pick up Gunbreaker then Sage/Reaper
but that shit's boring
With arcanist you don't have to do pick up sage, so it's 3 classes you essentially need to lvl
plus that doesn't account for EWs puzzling inclusion of adding a physical ranged DPS questline where your best option there is Machinist starting at LEVEL 30
i may get side tracked a lot but its useful side trackin!
"bringina you finished three tribes already. three of them"
irrelevant
... the fact that I enjoy Machnist has nothing to do with me doing that
nor me enjoying RPR eventualyl to the point where if I'm not tanking I'm prolly running RPR
RPR IS SO FUN THO-
this has nothing to do with either the RPR questline or ||EW having two canon RPRs|| 
when you say best option, does that mean best for how the job fits story wise, or...
time efficent
oh
personally story wise for ShB War is the perfect fit IMO, fuck the trailer, it's WRONG
Yeah all his picks are job that start at 60 or 70
plus like
that's just for the case where you need to do all 4 questlines
Hmm I guess my brain was not working properly due to being 4am
one is enough, even if all 4 give you additional lore and a fancy title
(Living Memory > Blessed Relief but the latter required more effort so it stays)
ah, hurray. doom and gloom. maybe we wont all explode n die in a fiery death. hopefully. ideally.
..... oh gods is ||dawntrail the afterlife||
HMMM I WONDER WHO THIS "HE" IS
that would
explain so much
You don't even need sage if you use arcanist
for reasons i really can't explain
It gives you both heal and mdps
yeah but who runs Scholar, really

Anyway now I can confidently say that Graha Tia is my favorite character in this game
Be nice to Lyse
I find him very cute
Scholar is lowkey considered the best barrier healer between the two, or at least it did in 6.2
I didn't keep up with the balance
how cheery
"The best between the two" is a funny phrase
is that why everyone yells "trauma!" when shb is mentioned
dumb joke theory that spoils ew:
||we actually died after the final fight against Zenos, that's why 6.1 to 6.5 are a whole different arc and why despite everything the Garleans are actually seeking peace finally, because that's what our vision of the afterlife is prior to the rest of the world inevitably falling to shit in 6.5 because of Golbez, leading to the whole Source being destroyed and DT picking up with the whole world in one shared afterlife|| 
He was the one who killed you first
Hence why he watched you die first
Then Lyse betrays you again
i KNEW urianger is not to be trusted
Then Alisaie joins the Garleans
him n his darn vocabulary
ok but what about ukulele or xylophone or whatever his name was
pretty words and promises truck-kun, we'll see how your actions pan out first tho
you did ||kidnap all my friends so||
ohhh i thought that Ukulele triggered sonething i n my brain
That is indeed a bad start for a working relationship
not important right now
but uhhh
thought he was relevant to me recently for some reason
||Feo Ul|| introduction is next and I can't wait
i swear ||everything leads back to the fucking Thirteenth||
My theory at that point was that I actually read the entire plot before starting
||World of Darkness? Thirteenth.
the post EW story? Thirteenth
Stub you toe? Some voidsent from the thirteenth nudged your table so you'd stub your toe||
||Friday? Thirteenth||
and once you notice you will never
EVER
BE FREE
Now, who do you think ||bringi will go to first, 🔴Ali or 🔵Alphi?||
Don't click bringi, vote with reactions.
You do get a Tomestone emote if you link your FFXIV account with the app
it's a great emoji
"LIVE WOL REACTION"
bringi it is sometimes better to proceed before taking a screenshot and upload /j
no :3
This is better 
"No :3
The Light is a deadly lazor"
izzy cant bap me for spam n u bet we utilize that workaround here at bringi corp
I mean we will essentially have the last game role in this server
i hope the VA of this ||pixie|| had a blast recordin this
bc that sure is hell of a choice 
they are very entertaining

I'm actually furious that they didn't yet give us a fairy glamour with Feo Ul
It's like, a no brainer
was this before you could make your fairy THICC
i genuinely don't know if the thicc fairy is a EW thing or not
Now that they at least added pixie glamours it's maybe a possibility, but it should have already happened
I have no idea what this references
and I WANT A DEMI BAHAMUT GLAMOUR
like wasn't there a Scholar skill that transformed your fairy?
Oh the angel thing, yeah
||"send a message to tataru or krile"|| truly this game's cruelty knows no bounds
why do you make them fight they are both great
ah yeah, i just looked at JoCat's healer video and that came out like 5 months before EW
.... gods i am so curious what the ||market lion's reaction is to a lala player||
Yeah it's the lvl 80 skill
i was just thinking that the angel would be the perfect second panel
i should look up the scene on yt later
like you try and upgrade it again and get that
i didnt unlock the angel glam yet 
or maybe its not a glam idk
theres a skill for it. later
at some level

yeah it's not a glam, it's just a big buff to all the faerie skills that last like 20 seconds
aaaaah
STILL
they made pixie glam for Sch
and they didn't even think to give SMN a Bahamut/Phoenix glam
Yeah, now my pixie is a carbuncle
Catching up on all this and... no. You're not even close. 
look I want to traumatise EVERYONE with my magic pet
im still gonna ||die|| arent i
im just resigned to it at this point its not like it didnt happen already
no better way than to have a mini apocolypse dragon following me before I go full Bahamut Trance and start Akh Mohn-ing motherfuckers
lest we forget ||zenos-puppet standin triumphantly over my keeled ober body||

||game can say estinien ex machina all it wants i effectively died there||
||us after EW be like||

Truth
I can't even disagree given the absurdtity of the WAR job quests
WE GOT THE NAME FINALLY
Don't blame him, he is warrior just because he was at the end of 1.0
oh yes yes the flashback, i remember that part
The name is actally mentioned during HWs
But it's easly missed
Thou hath no ideath what the man ist doing
honestly id take ||ardberts ghost chasin me over midgardsormr any day of the week||
Wow rude, I would take both
ya didnt have to disappear ya know, i appreciate a person to chat with
I think his armor is like
The level 30 armor you get as a warrior
I can't quite rember
maybe it was 50 but it looked different because i'm a wamen
