oh man i hope we dont get a 70 dungeon i dont have gear for that yet penk

plucky cairn
#

You have to get hit by the aoe zone that makes you small, then go stand in the purple goo

#

IIRC

hasty kayak
#

..... ive never seen this dungeon before

#

.... WELP

plucky cairn
#

I think it's the monky one

hasty kayak
#

i have not seen this place once in my entire life ponknothoughtsheadempty

plucky cairn
#

I vaguely remember it

hasty kayak
#

I remember there was a mistbeard quest, yes, but this hard version? never seen it

plucky cairn
#

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

hasty kayak
#

oooh

plucky cairn
#

I'll bail, this has been fun

hasty kayak
#

aye, tis time

elfin wave
#

"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

That is the perfect angle to take a picture from

elfin wave
#

sorted my level 90 jobs by ilvl SmileAnimated

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

#

Oh dang is that today

#

Should hear about the next expansion this weekend midnightdance

plucky cairn
#

The teaser's wild yo

magic burrow
#

||Dawntrail. Scion of Seventh Dawn. Yeahhhhh...Got it||

plucky cairn
#

Seems like they are hinting to ||Corsair|| as one of the next classes

magic burrow
#

||Not sure if I like Dawntrail or Golden Legacy more||

elfin wave
#

Summer 2024?
Bringi might finally finish Endwalker by then

plucky cairn
#

Actually possible, basically a full year away

elfin wave
#

Hell I might finish 6.4 by then

magic burrow
#

Endwalker? I thought bringi would finish ShB by then

elfin wave
#

because a certain FRIEND of mine hasn't played MSQ in forever and I'm hardwalled on the 6.4 trial without them >_>

magic burrow
#

I should catch up with my jp dc character eventually

elfin wave
plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
#

Wasn't RPR dex enough

plucky cairn
#

It literally uses strenght

elfin wave
#

Do you realise how many fucking BUTTONS that class has

dark jacinth
#

@elfin wave @zinc harness

elfin wave
#

yes we're aware lol

#

or at least, i am

dark jacinth
#

Was just announced.

magic burrow
#

ngl Golden Legacy sounds like a name from JoJo

slim cairn
#

Yooo

hasty kayak
#

that is some wacky poster art

slim cairn
#

Bringy might be able to make it on time actually

hasty kayak
#

its cute how much faith everyone has in my ability to not get distracted

#

misguided, but cute

plucky cairn
#

It's a literal year

hasty kayak
magic burrow
slim cairn
#

Heres the thing

#

Bringy went through stormblood quite fast soo

#

We will see with shadowbringers

slim cairn
hasty kayak
#

thats considered fast?

magic burrow
#

I feel like ShB should take longer than SB

zinc harness
#

Ohhh is that the name of the next expansion?

plucky cairn
#

Yep, there is also a teaser

zinc harness
#

Excellent

plucky cairn
#

That said the current versions out are mixed a bit bad, waiting for an official upload

zinc harness
#

I'll wait

#

I'm in no rush

elfin wave
#

honestly the best part i watched was Yoshi P entering the stage to ||With Hearts Aligned||

#

because why fucking not, lmao

zinc harness
#

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

dark jacinth
#

Hiya Denzy!

zinc harness
#

Hiya

dark jacinth
#

It’s been a while since I’ve been on it.

plucky cairn
zinc harness
#

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

elfin wave
#

hopefully cross data center will come sooner rather than later

zinc harness
#

Fucking mood

dark jacinth
elfin wave
#

I WILL TERRORISE THE US DATA CENTER WITH MY FASHION SENSE

#

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

dark jacinth
#

Are you the Duck HC

zinc harness
#

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

elfin wave
#

honestly i just wanted an excuse to post my rpr glam again

zinc harness
#

Glamours are still my favorite thing to explore

elfin wave
#

fuckin' bloodborne lookin' ass

dark jacinth
zinc harness
#

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?

dark jacinth
zinc harness
#

Wasn't expecting this for a while actually

#

Cant wait to check out all the info this weekend with PK

dark jacinth
plucky cairn
#

They hinted but so far just confirmed which roles they are filling

zinc harness
#

Heeealer?

plucky cairn
#

It'll be ||Melee DPS and Magic DPS||

elfin wave
#

too lazy to boot up the game

dark jacinth
#

Ooooh nice HC

hasty kayak
#

YOU ARE A PUGILIST AND NEVER TOLD ME???????????????

#

HC LEGEND HOW DARE YOU

elfin wave
#

can you tell playing AST scarred me

zinc harness
#

I am still holding onto hope for the eventual implementation of Chemist as a healer

elfin wave
#

look punching things is fun but i had other priorities

plucky cairn
#

Last time we got a ||magical DPS|| was ||Stormblood|| so I'd say it was damn time

magic burrow
#

SMN lvl 90
SCH lvl -

zinc harness
#

It's my number one job I want to see

magic burrow
elfin wave
#

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

hasty kayak
#

friendship ended with hc again this is not something a red mage bein red can salvage

dark jacinth
zinc harness
#

Anyway, I need to focus on work, or this will consume all my attention if I'm not careful

magic burrow
#

I heard JP people joking about monk getting revive at new levels

dark jacinth
#

The new hub Denzy.

zinc harness
#

Oh gosh, my favorite thing about FFXIV expansion news is the new location reveals, especially the concept art

magic burrow
#

"Monks should be able to punch your heart and bring you back to life"

hasty kayak
#

we should it's true

zinc harness
#

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

dark jacinth
zinc harness
#

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

magic burrow
plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

Apparently this is a hint for the new jobs

#

We already have ninja

zinc harness
#

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

plucky cairn
#

My god this game needed better shadows so bad

dark jacinth
zinc harness
#

I don't worry about stuff like that

#

No point

plucky cairn
#

of the whole graphical update, the shadows are easly the one thing it'll have the bigger impact IMO

zinc harness
#

Yup

#

They're also adding more stuff to flesh out various areas

dark jacinth
#

Will the draw distance be better as well?

zinc harness
#

No clue

#

I do need to work now

#

Hope you all enjoy the news hype!

dark jacinth
plucky cairn
#

Yoshi P keeps showing off greenery and the stream is just a constant "SUCH VEGETATION" for the past like, 30 minutes

#

As expected

dark jacinth
#

I’m not even on endwalker yet ppenk

magic burrow
#

I am trying to guess what jobs "TMNT Mutant Mayhem" T-shirt means

plucky cairn
#

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||

dark jacinth
#

I heard that you can level the blue mage up further now?

plucky cairn
#

BIGGEST UPDATE TO THE GAME SINCE ARR

#

2 DYES PER GEAR

#

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

dark jacinth
plucky cairn
#

This is the best thing

dark jacinth
plucky cairn
#

Mostly SMN or WAR depending if I'm doing stuff at lvl 90 or lower

#

But I swap around a lot

dark jacinth
#

Nice.

#

I really need to get my classes up

hasty kayak
#

OH SHIT TWO DYES??????

#

lets gooooooo

#

my glam game will be legendary

plucky cairn
#

Can't fucking wait

#

2 channels to dye, I wished for that for so long

hasty kayak
#

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)

plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

jfc SB in free trial?

#

They really let people play half of the game without paying

plucky cairn
# magic burrow jfc SB in free trial?

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

rancid laurel
#

Oh no it's coming to Xbox

#

Whyyy

#

When XI went to Xbox there was a sharp drop in player quality

plucky cairn
#

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

rancid laurel
#

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

plucky cairn
#

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

rancid laurel
#

It was specifically it being on 360 that caused issues

#

Since it was already established even on the PS2

plucky cairn
#

Also, they are adding this

#

Salivating

elfin wave
#

heyyy i recgonize that raid

elfin wave
#

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

plucky cairn
#

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

minor sorrel
elfin wave
#

Real???

minor sorrel
#

looks like it

elfin wave
#

I mean there is a watermark in the middle

minor sorrel
dapper meteor
#

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.||

minor sorrel
minor sorrel
minor sorrel
#

Something of note in the trailer... ||where's Alphi?||

plucky cairn
#

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||

minor sorrel
#

Well I also haven't finished EW so I ain't clicking that ppenk

plucky cairn
#

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

stark dragon
#

||Estinien|| and being surrounded by children or small people. Name a better duo. Oh, wait, I already have. ||G'raha|| and marveling at food.

plucky cairn
#

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||

minor sorrel
magic burrow
#

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.||

slim cairn
#

Im just hoping Lyse finally dies in next expansion

minor sorrel
#

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

plucky cairn
#

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

latent vapor
#

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.

plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
elfin wave
#

i don't care if that was framed as a lie, to me that shit is canon

elfin wave
elfin wave
#

oh wow okay lemmie just burn all my seals, lol

#

I've been capped at 50k for a hilariously long time SPEEN

#

...
...
...

#

you know i wouldn't put me past me to give her bunnygirl gear but this is the game's fault i swear-

minor sorrel
plucky cairn
#

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

minor sorrel
#

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

plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
#

you will need a lot of Causality Tomestones

#

4500 if I recall?

minor sorrel
#

I'm prety sure i've never done a single Hildebrand quest ppenk

plucky cairn
elfin wave
#

(At least, for the current steps
It'll prolly be 6k total once the final step comes out)

elfin wave
#

me: "am i missing something in ffxiv"
also me: "FUCK, THE JUMBO CACTPOT"
pizza time starts playing as i prepare to get funky

elfin wave
#

shit like this is why the grand company relies on me too much

zinc harness
#

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

elfin wave
#

Dalamund Red my beloved.

plucky cairn
#

But my question is still "What the hell are ||we doing in the new world?||"

elfin wave
#

HAHA
I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO WORK OUT

#

never touchjing this goddamn motherrfucking squadron shit again

compact ibex
#

Once I get back into FF14 I'm leveling machinist

#

I have learned the joys of guns and fantasy machines

hasty kayak
#

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 atpc_ppblep

compact ibex
#

To deny truth once seen... such foolishness

plucky cairn
#

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

#

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...

▶ Play video
#

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||

dapper meteor
#

||beach episode||

plucky cairn
#

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||

slim cairn
#

Im so excited for this expansion

dapper meteor
#

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 rdsnrk

compact ibex
#

huh

#

that's weird but neat

dapper meteor
#

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.

compact ibex
#

nope that costs them MONEY that they could be making RESELLING THEM DIGITALLY lunapathetic

#

ahem

#

i wonder if they've done it already in other games

#

i know Metroid: Zero Mission did that with the original NES game

elfin wave
elfin wave
#

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||

elfin wave
#

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

plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
#

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- WTF

#

"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!~

elfin wave
#

Sophie he's a cat person, that's extremely insensitive

hasty kayak
#

snaps fingers now i remember what ur outfit reminds me of

#

those white corp grunts from pokemon sun n moon games

elfin wave
hasty kayak
#

its the hat

elfin wave
#

Appointed Hat my beloved~

#

I don't have many good hats to suit a "Mercenary" look, y'know?

hasty kayak
#

cowboy hats

#

or cosplay malcolm from firefly penk

elfin wave
#

bruh this mfer playing Blink 182

#

One thing I do kinda miss about Limsa is random people just hangin' around and doing Bard Shit™️

#

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

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

hasty kayak
#

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

elfin wave

why tf would a crafter be wandering outside of a city

gatherer, sure
but why a crafter WTF

How long is a realm reborn in ffxiv?

elfin wave
#

Uhhhhh
Depends on how much sidetracking you do

plucky cairn
#

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

abstract ibex
#

Cuz i wanna try and get into ffxiv but so far a realm reborn isn't totally catching my interest from what ive played

plucky cairn
#

ARR is widely considerd the weakest part of the game

elfin wave
#

It's a bit of a slog, well worth it though

plucky cairn
#

It's a lot of setup and not much payoff, it gets a lot better already in the post release patches

abstract ibex
#

I might try and re download it on my ps5 then

plucky cairn
#

And a lot of the things set up during ARR get picked up in later expansions

elfin wave
#

play on EU so we can harass you

plucky cairn
#

They also shorten it a lot since release, trimmed out a lot of fat and timewasters

elfin wave
abstract ibex
#

I already have a character in NA

elfin wave
#

I think FFXIV is cross platform anyway

#

DAMMIT

plucky cairn
#

It's cross platform yeah, for the longest time two of my friends were playing on PS

elfin wave
#

AHHHH CROSS DATA CENTRE WHEN SQUENIX
I WANNA ANNOY AMERICANS

abstract ibex
#

I could make a new character

#

I didnt put much time into my other one

elfin wave
#

I don't mind having 100 ping for casual content

plucky cairn
#

Up to you, consider if you want to deal with the extra latency tho if you play on EU

elfin wave
#

my internet sucks anyway

abstract ibex
#

Oh yeah i guess

#

I already have bad internet

elfin wave
#

my fucking ISP can choke on a chocobo turd

abstract ibex

100 ping is normal for me

elfin wave

at least it hasn't gone off Today™️

plucky cairn

They hopefully will enable datacenter travel cross region eventually, it's really annoying they didn't yet

abstract ibex

Yeah that'd be nice

Welp its now downloading

It should be done at around 7pm

Doing a random Endwalker quest and this brilliant exchange comes up.

That's from Nier, I think Copied Factory

elfin wave

i prefer my level 90 glam

#

also i looked up where the scythe comes from
||of course it has to be EX Crystal bitch||

elfin wave
#

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 NaoSmile

steady saffron
#

He's ranking by his skill (or lack thereof)

elfin wave
#

SHUT

steady saffron
#

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

elfin wave
#

I did that ONCE

#

because p12 is a skill issue

steady saffron

Indeed, skill issue, your skill issue

elfin wave

ur mean
I regret helping you get gear

Oi, you're the one who stood me up almost a week ago

my memory isnt good enough to remember ||if this peddler resembles the one in arr carriage or not, it would callback nicely||

plucky cairn

It is indeed a callback

hasty kayak
#

anyway somethin somethin "aw shit here we go again"

dapper meteor
#

I hope you remember your lore!

plucky cairn
#

So far your ||"travel to the 1st"|| theory seems pretty strong, there is a lot of light happening here.

magic burrow
#

The lorebomb also known as emotional murder expansion

hasty kayak
#

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"||

dapper meteor
plucky cairn
#

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||

hasty kayak
#

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

The "RP" quests often get...annoying

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)

magic burrow
#

JP VA of him is Jun-ichi Suwabe

hasty kayak
#

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"

elfin wave
plucky cairn
#

Depends on your starting class

magic burrow
#

My home is and always will be Gridania

plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

My JP character started from Limsa

hasty kayak
#

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

elfin wave
#

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||

magic burrow
#

The what

elfin wave
#

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

plucky cairn
#

Indeed

#

I think 6.5 is october

elfin wave
#

literally just finished it today because my buddy got off his arse and caught up

plucky cairn
#

Part 1 at least

magic burrow
#

I am sad that we won't be getting 6.66

hasty kayak
#

THE AMALJAA??????

plucky cairn
#

lol

elfin wave
#

6.66 on October 31st

#

||we have to kill Zenos... again.||

hasty kayak
#

okay so when they said ||"shards are a reflection" || they really meant it

plucky cairn
#

Did they already explain the different races thing?

#

Or you are just exploring?

hasty kayak
#

in that case i want to see alt nanamo

#

im doin a run around n attune

magic burrow
#

Wait you still have your sprout?

hasty kayak
#

no race explanations yet

elfin wave
#

alt nanamo lmao

hasty kayak
#

sprout doesnt go off until i start endwalker, nay?

plucky cairn
#

Yes, the sprout goes away when you complete the last quest of the previous expansion

#

So shadowbringers

magic burrow
#

I think there was a time limit too

plucky cairn
#

Maybe

elfin wave
#

I took mine off manually

#

"I am NOT A BABEE ANYMORE!"

hasty kayak
#

if the amaljaa are different, why not chocobos pinkiethink

elfin wave
#

first dungeon of Endwalker rolls around
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

magic burrow
#

I started during ShB so I think I lost mine as soon as I got to ShB yeah

#

Didn't take me long

plucky cairn
#

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

hasty kayak
#

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

plucky cairn
#

That would be quite something

#

It means that you only took 1 year to finish both expansions, but just to finish Shadowbringers

elfin wave
#

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

magic burrow
#

It is pretty hard to get sidetracked during ShB and EW imo, because they literally bombard you with lores and moments

plucky cairn
#

bringi will definitely manage

hasty kayak
#

i still have a month left before its officially a year, i started durin september im fairly sure

elfin wave
#

especially once they find the ||dwarves|| I feel

magic burrow
#

Rather I would be worried if you get sidetracked too much you may lose your track

elfin wave
#

realising i've been stealth bombing ShB spoilers to bringi every time I used my greeting

plucky cairn
#

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

hasty kayak
#

oh, look what i found

#

a squape

plucky cairn
magic burrow
#

You don't dare compare that to our holy squape

plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
#

I guess you could say
it was the First Squape

magic burrow
#

What baffled me was that the grape there already had a better polygon than the squape

elfin wave
#

🥁

magic burrow
#

Like what

plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

Uhhhhhhh

#

I would say the ShB one looks better

elfin wave
#

maybe because that area is a lot bigger

#

so they had to skimp resources s o m e w h e r e

plucky cairn
#

They are a bit more hidden, which is why they look better is my guess

elfin wave
#

man what is with FFXIV recently and memeing the shit out of food

plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

||I like the new trend of Graha eating some big food and be happy in trailers|| (probably spoiler)

elfin wave
#

Y E S

#

to both the statement and it being potential spoilers

hasty kayak
#

i may be a mnk-ey brain but this seems rood

elfin wave

plucky cairn
#

Listen, ||the smart ones were all kidnapped by your boss, they sent me||

hasty kayak
#

we are the token jock for literally every other scion nerd

#

(even thancred, though he resents the accusation)

magic burrow
#

Well there's alisaie /j

elfin wave
#

daddy thancred intensifies

#

look i don't even like gnb but he needed that glowup in the trailer

hasty kayak
#

i sense a touch of bias in this historic account

plucky cairn
#

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.

magic burrow

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||"

magic burrow
#

It was such a great scene

hasty kayak
#

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||

elfin wave
#

Wellllll

magic burrow
#

The more you know

elfin wave
#

kinda the whole world got blown up to shit by Light and death monsters

plucky cairn
#

Something is definitely weird with the timeline, but it will be explained

magic burrow
#

It is definitely fun to see new players create a theory and then ShB instantly responds with "lol no"

plucky cairn
#

And with explained I mean handwaved with "magic, don't worry about it"

magic burrow
#

But some theories work

hasty kayak
#

okay thats gotta be ||minfillia right||

#

ah yep

magic burrow
#

idk that can be Lyse

hasty kayak
#

spoke too soon n the next dialogue box agreed ponknothoughtsheadempty

slim cairn
#

Also bringy

#

How the hell do you reply to me in dms so fast when it’s ffxiv?

#

But anything else takes 5 years?

elfin wave
#

it's magic

hasty kayak
#

skill issue

magic burrow
elfin wave
#

ain't gotta explain shit

#

FFXIV when explaining away some crazy plothole or other

magic burrow
#

Here is a tip for theorizing in ShB and forward bringi

#

Choose the most traumatizing option

slim cairn
#

I canceled my ffxiv sub and told brings in dm

#

Instant replies

magic burrow
#

Cancel culture invading ffxiv sad

hasty kayak
#

because thats a tragedy

slim cairn
#

It supposed to renew on 6th but im having money issues…sooo im canceling the sub until 10th

#

When my credit card renews

elfin wave
#

Just buy 6 month's at a time

magic burrow
#

I can't wait to see bringi reaching ||the Tesleen scene|| (spoiler)

slim cairn
#

It’s been 6 months now

hasty kayak
#

ooh, so they aint called amaljaa

slim cairn
elfin wave
#

Yea u racist

slim cairn
#

She dies

elfin wave
#

Jk

magic burrow
#

iirc that is the name for chocobo?

hasty kayak
#

... oh

plucky cairn
#

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

hasty kayak
#

a peak bringi experience

#

okay good, attuning complete

magic burrow
#

Ah yes one of the most dreading moment

#

You start ShB, reach the first hub city, and you can't attune

#

Instant panic

hasty kayak
#

huh?

magic burrow
#

A lot of people try to attune as soon as they reach the city

hasty kayak
#

what's a ||recording node|| doin here. ||more allagan space travel i suppose||

plucky cairn
#

Well, the tower is allagan

#

As far as you know at least

hasty kayak
#

oh, the crystal one in eorzea u mean

#

.... ||truck-kun is an allagan?||

slim cairn
hasty kayak
#

i guess that could also mean more evidence for ||crystal tower catboi||

plucky cairn
#

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||

hasty kayak
#

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"||

slim cairn
#

What the hell is a truck kun?

hasty kayak
#

scroll up

magic burrow
#

||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)

hasty kayak
#

cmon gums ur manechat ff thread lore is already outdated, gotta keep up

slim cairn
hasty kayak
#

the most common isekai trope is "protagonist is transported/reborn into a new world after being hit by a truck"

hasty kayak
#

okay yeah its maybe 95% ||crystal tower catboi if they literally namedrop the structure like this||

magic burrow
#

||only if bringi didn't forget his name...||

plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

I like how one of the most lore heavy dungeons in shb has one of the best tracks in the entire game

hasty kayak
#

well we did just establish that timeline is fucked here

#

so idk, maybe

plucky cairn
#

true

hasty kayak
#

its the best guess on my list

#

unless it truly is urianger just to spite me again

plucky cairn
#

fair guess I'd say

hasty kayak
#

maybe time fuckery is the reason ||yshtola is suddenly matoya||

#

idk i dont understand what's up with that part

magic burrow
#

Oh yeah that is in trailer

hasty kayak
#

mhmm, time fuckery

elfin wave
#

that is not a nod, but sure

elfin wave

#

CRAFTER SIDE QUESTING MY ADORED

elfin wave
#

Well that lasted long

plucky cairn
#

You will probably like the crafter quests, I like what they did with it

hasty kayak
#

oh okay this is probably gonna b about the ||race thingy|| discrepancy

plucky cairn
#

I have my reaction to that the 1st time I played this

elfin wave
#

200?

#

I think I was well past 500 by this point

hasty kayak
#

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

elfin wave
#

time dilation is a hell of a drug

hasty kayak
#

points aggresively ||LALI HO||

elfin wave

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

hasty kayak
#

ah yes, okay okay alright

#

that's what his name was

#

where the fuck is ur ||tail buddy||

plucky cairn
#

lol

magic burrow
hasty kayak
#

... a curious answer

magic burrow

You really missed the moment when you can call the exarch ||graha tia|| as soon as you meet him

elfin wave
#

i guess you could say

#

||cat's out of the bag?||

hasty kayak
#

.... i dont think that was there?

elfin wave
plucky cairn
#

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

magic burrow
#

It should be, the option appears if you cleared the crystal tower, which became mandatory since 5.3

elfin wave
#

Which is very curious why it wasn't required before

hasty kayak
#

its that stupid floooooooooor

magic burrow
#

I guess making it mandatory as soon as updating 5.0 was too much of a blatant spoiler

plucky cairn
elfin wave
#

for 7.0 they should make the ShB Alliance Raid mandatory

hasty kayak
#

sigh time fuckery. this is becoming homestuck all over again

elfin wave
#

not for any particular reason
just to fuck with people

hasty kayak
#

but hc. alpha deserves to b played by all

#

bc he is baby

elfin wave
#

I said ShB not SB

#

and alliance raid

hasty kayak
#

listen all the terms in this game sound too similar -

elfin wave
#

I'm refusing to elaborate on why until you unlock it

plucky cairn
#

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

elfin wave
#

Triads?

plucky cairn
#

Hws trial series

#

Warring Traids

elfin wave
hasty kayak
elfin wave
#

funny Sepirot series

hasty kayak
#

i want ysthola to smack him with a staff

elfin wave
#

i don't think i got Sophia EX this week on Tails

plucky cairn
#

Oh I'm pretty sure it happened

hasty kayak
#

I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT DETAIL, GAME

elfin wave
#

also Gen, one of the ShB role quests is mandatory

hasty kayak
#

why does the game adore nakey than this is the second time

elfin wave
#

Pick your poison but you gotta pick one

hasty kayak
#

with less squirrels this time

elfin wave
#

round and round the trauma goes

plucky cairn
#

True but I'm talking of the bit after ||you did all of them, and the part after that ties up with HWs story||

elfin wave
#

where it gonna land
who tf knows

#

ahhhh.

#

Yeah the problem with that is you'll need people to get 4 classes to 80.

hasty kayak
#

urge to punch truck-kun rising.......

elfin wave
#

Even if two of them are Sage and Reaper, you still need a magic DPS and a Tank, IIRC

plucky cairn
#

Yeah they can't really make them mandatory, but man they should

elfin wave
#

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

hasty kayak
#

good thing i already have a 70 in all class categories, ey

plucky cairn
#

With arcanist you don't have to do pick up sage, so it's 3 classes you essentially need to lvl

elfin wave
#

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

hasty kayak
#

i may get side tracked a lot but its useful side trackin!

#

"bringina you finished three tribes already. three of them"

#

irrelevant

elfin wave
#

... 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|| KoishiThonk

hasty kayak
#

when you say best option, does that mean best for how the job fits story wise, or...

elfin wave
#

time efficent

hasty kayak
#

oh

elfin wave
#

personally story wise for ShB War is the perfect fit IMO, fuck the trailer, it's WRONG

plucky cairn
#

Yeah all his picks are job that start at 60 or 70

elfin wave
#

plus like
that's just for the case where you need to do all 4 questlines

magic burrow
#

Hmm I guess my brain was not working properly due to being 4am

elfin wave
#

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)

hasty kayak
#

ah, hurray. doom and gloom. maybe we wont all explode n die in a fiery death. hopefully. ideally.

#

..... oh gods is ||dawntrail the afterlife||

elfin wave
#

HMMM I WONDER WHO THIS "HE" IS

elfin wave
magic burrow
elfin wave
#

for reasons i really can't explain

magic burrow
#

It gives you both heal and mdps

elfin wave
#

yeah but who runs Scholar, really

hasty kayak
magic burrow
#

Anyway now I can confidently say that Graha Tia is my favorite character in this game

slim cairn
magic burrow
#

I find him very cute

plucky cairn
#

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

hasty kayak
#

how cheery

magic burrow
#

"The best between the two" is a funny phrase

hasty kayak
#

is that why everyone yells "trauma!" when shb is mentioned

magic burrow
elfin wave
#

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|| SPEEN

slim cairn
#

Hence why he watched you die first

#

Then Lyse betrays you again

hasty kayak
#

i KNEW urianger is not to be trusted

slim cairn
#

Then Alisaie joins the Garleans

hasty kayak
#

him n his darn vocabulary

elfin wave
#

ok but what about ukulele or xylophone or whatever his name was

hasty kayak
#

pretty words and promises truck-kun, we'll see how your actions pan out first tho

#

you did ||kidnap all my friends so||

magic burrow
#

Hey he said sorry for his mistakes

elfin wave
#

ohhh i thought that Ukulele triggered sonething i n my brain

plucky cairn
elfin wave
#

not important right now

#

but uhhh
thought he was relevant to me recently for some reason

plucky cairn
#

||Feo Ul|| introduction is next and I can't wait

elfin wave
#

i swear ||everything leads back to the fucking Thirteenth||

magic burrow
#

My theory at that point was that I actually read the entire plot before starting

elfin wave
#

||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||

elfin wave
#

and once you notice you will never
EVER

plucky cairn

elfin wave

plucky cairn

hasty kayak

plucky cairn

elfin wave
#

"No :3
The Light is a deadly lazor"

hasty kayak
#

izzy cant bap me for spam n u bet we utilize that workaround here at bringi corp

magic burrow
#

I mean we will essentially have the last game role in this server

hasty kayak
#

i hope the VA of this ||pixie|| had a blast recordin this

#

bc that sure is hell of a choice penk

plucky cairn
#

they are very entertaining

elfin wave
#

actually bringi i think you should pick up Sage and start the ShB healer role quest-

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

I'm actually furious that they didn't yet give us a fairy glamour with Feo Ul

#

It's like, a no brainer

elfin wave
#

was this before you could make your fairy THICC

#

i genuinely don't know if the thicc fairy is a EW thing or not

plucky cairn
#

Now that they at least added pixie glamours it's maybe a possibility, but it should have already happened

plucky cairn
elfin wave
#

and I WANT A DEMI BAHAMUT GLAMOUR

#

like wasn't there a Scholar skill that transformed your fairy?

plucky cairn
#

Oh the angel thing, yeah

hasty kayak
#

||"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

elfin wave
#

ah yeah, i just looked at JoCat's healer video and that came out like 5 months before EW

hasty kayak
#

.... gods i am so curious what the ||market lion's reaction is to a lala player||

plucky cairn
#

Yeah it's the lvl 80 skill

elfin wave
#

i was just thinking that the angel would be the perfect second panel

hasty kayak
#

i should look up the scene on yt later

elfin wave
#

like you try and upgrade it again and get that

hasty kayak
#

i didnt unlock the angel glam yet ponknothoughtsheadempty

#

or maybe its not a glam idk

#

theres a skill for it. later

#

at some level

magic burrow
plucky cairn
#

yeah it's not a glam, it's just a big buff to all the faerie skills that last like 20 seconds

hasty kayak
#

aaaaah

elfin wave
#

STILL
they made pixie glam for Sch

#

and they didn't even think to give SMN a Bahamut/Phoenix glam

plucky cairn
#

Yeah, now my pixie is a carbuncle

minor sorrel
elfin wave
#

look I want to traumatise EVERYONE with my magic pet

hasty kayak
#

im still gonna ||die|| arent i

#

im just resigned to it at this point its not like it didnt happen already

elfin wave
#

no better way than to have a mini apocolypse dragon following me before I go full Bahamut Trance and start Akh Mohn-ing motherfuckers

hasty kayak
#

lest we forget ||zenos-puppet standin triumphantly over my keeled ober body||

minor sorrel
hasty kayak
#

||game can say estinien ex machina all it wants i effectively died there||

hasty kayak
#

oh. hi.

#

plucky cairn
minor sorrel
#

Truth

plucky cairn
#

I can't even disagree given the absurdtity of the WAR job quests

elfin wave
#

WE GOT THE NAME FINALLY

magic burrow
#

Don't blame him, he is warrior just because he was at the end of 1.0

hasty kayak
#

plucky cairn
#

magic burrow
#

magic burrow
#

Wow rude, I would take both

hasty kayak
#

elfin wave
#

I think his armor is like
The level 30 armor you get as a warrior

#

hasty kayak
#

plucky cairn
#

Quick advice

Throw in this one before closing

SHB has very obvious stopping points and you are basically at one
