squintyjack "This thing is too darn bright. I can't see!"

elfin wave
#

and yes i could have done this for the SMN weapon instead but
ehhh i worked too hard on the dragonwing glam

plucky cairn
#

I have enough materials for 2 more weapons.
I don't think they are already adding a step this next patch right?

#

I should check

#

It's in 6,55 so not right away

elfin wave
#

... oh yeah i can just buy them and wait

#

but like
inventory

#

Plus I would have done RPR but since I have the Avatar Scythe it'd be pointless until 6.55 anyway

#

(650 vs. 640 ILVL)

plucky cairn
#

I should buy the 2nd step of the BLM weapon since it's the only one I'm one step behind with

elfin wave
#

How many tomestones do you spend

plucky cairn
#

Whenever I have 1.5k I just buy 3 materials

#

And overtime I got them all

#

I never really went out of my way to farm them

#

I did like, a month of hardcore farming to get all of the SHB relic weapons when it was current, this expansion I'm keeping up to date just by doing other stuff and making sure I'm never capping my tomestones

elfin wave
#

I know people are disappointed at the lack of "challenge" of earning the weapons because it gives a reason to log in but ehhh
Just do Ultimates instead, lmao

plucky cairn
#

It's a different kind of grind

#

Getting the weapons wasn't difficult

#

It was time consuming but you could do it alone
To do Ultimate you have to coordinate with 7 other people

#

Which isn't analoguous

elfin wave
#

iahhh, that's fair

minor sorrel
#

That's an interesting look for mnk gear...

#

(anabaseios gear)

#

And Purgatory, which gives tanks those big flamin' circles, do NOT have the circle for monks ts_cry

#

Neat but not quite the same, ya know

#

MORE PROOF OF EVIL

elfin wave
#

LMAO

elfin wave
#

so... Dragoon and Reaper, lol

#

(can we get another class for Scouting next expansion pls ty)

minor sorrel
#

THERE'S ANOTHER MONK IN THIS RAID

elfin wave
#

Monks are decently common

minor sorrel
#

I usually find myself as the only one

elfin wave
#

maybe i'm biased because I see more RPRs when I play RPR

minor sorrel
#

RPR have that shiny newness till

elfin wave
#

and the sweet benefit of starting at 70

#

(Why I started the class since I needed a Phys Melee DPS for Role Quests)

minor sorrel

#

CATMONK

elfin wave
#

dragonmonk soon™️

#

Because I did actually get my Pugalist to 30 and upgrade to Monk

elfin wave
plucky cairn
#

Is the arm thing part of the glove or the chest? Because I definitely can see that bit work in a MNk glam

#

I think chest

minor sorrel
#

uh i'dd have to go back and check, I think arm?

plucky cairn
#

Checked, part of the chest

#

Too bad it's not dyable unless you obtain the savage version

#

Still, white looks good

#

Yeah I can see this chestpiece work for a good MNK glam for sure, the open arms are monk-y enough and the crystals in the back are also kinda reminescent of the thingies sometimes high fantasy monk have floating behind their backs or around them.

#

IDk what they are called

minor sorrel
#

PANTS

#

WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS

plucky cairn
#

Can't see what's part of the chest if you also put on pants

minor sorrel
#

Ahh

plucky cairn
#

Like this one, tell me where the chest ends and the leg begins?

#

You can't, none can

minor sorrel
plucky cairn
#

This is only the chest btw, I love how well layered it works in the mix

minor sorrel
minor sorrel
#

Did you know that Nanamo has a sibling?

#

Interesting weapons! ...And glam!

hasty kayak
#

on the other end of the spectrum hc apparently decided "monk" means "modern day punk deliquent", which while not my taste is fair enough ponknothoughtsheadempty

#

i like night backlogs about glams they're fun to catch up on

plucky cairn
hasty kayak
#

squeenix, release the glam plates. cmon what's stopping you

plucky cairn
#

Also why that looks like blacksmith to you? I get the RPR one, that one I agree

hasty kayak
#

just add another row this is inhumane

plucky cairn
#

That whole outfit screams fire hazard

hasty kayak
#

the layered skirt with nakey top, maybe?

plucky cairn
#

My idea with it, is wild Samurai that abandoned civilization, so he still has his skirt thingy and the fancy hat, but the rest of the outfits is the remaining of the top that hang around or strips of cloth wrapped around the arms and all that.

plucky cairn
hasty kayak
#

surely they'll add another row then. 30 plates shouldn't be too hard to implement. hopefully

plucky cairn
#

They are kinda stretching that system already, but they need to add more for sure

hasty kayak
#

or they might do some changes to the whole system? pinkiethink since double dyes will be a thing

plucky cairn
#

Honestly they should just scrap it and redo it better if at all possbile, the system is just strictly inferior ro the WoW transmog system, but we get what we can.

hasty kayak
#

gods im so excited for double dyes i hope thatll b applicable to old gear too n not just dt-only

plucky cairn
#

They said that they plan to update all the gears with two channels dyes

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

But probably wont come right away on the whole gear, they'll do it in chunks

#

This is possible because they are updating the gear with the new models and new material

#

So since they already have to look at it and mess with the models, it probably doesn't cost as much to also add support for 2 dyes while they are at it

hasty kayak
#

that's fair

#

i just want to dye the tie on my scholar glam red to complete the phoenix look ponknothoughtsheadempty

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

Agreed, it's a large part as to why I like that piece so much

elfin wave
minor sorrel
#

So what's the easiest/fastest way to get a weapon at 90? I still seem to have some 560 weapons ppenk

latent vapor
#

Depends if you have Hildibrand quests done.

minor sorrel
#

I only just started the first ones last night ppenk

latent vapor
#

Then you can buy Diadochos weapons from the marketboard. Preferrably at high quality.

elfin wave
#

You could also use Tomestones of Causality to buy a Lunar Envoy weapon if I recall

#

Players who recently reached level 89 - 90 should collect Artifact Weapons and Artifact Armor (both item level 560) for free. The Last Accessories (item level 560) drop from three dungeons: Dungeon (spoilers), but these do not need to be "farmed" to proceed with further upgrades.

Current uncapped Tomestone gear (Allagan Tomestone of Causality Allagan Tomestone of Causality): Lunar Envoy's Weapons, Lunar Envoy's Armor, and Lunar Envoy's Accessories (item level 620)

#

You can pick up Artifact Gear in Old Sharlyan

but like if you already have that then Tomestones, baybeee (and Diadochos but like those are expensive)

latent vapor
elfin wave
#

I swore that was a different one

#

Like augmentation

#

Agh fuck they do

#

The fucking wiki doesn't fucking say that

latent vapor
#

It does, in the table below.

elfin wave
latent vapor
#

Yes. Read the table, not just the summary.

elfin wave
#

diadochos is the way to go then if you have the M O N E Y

#

or crafting skill but that's a whole different kettle of fish

latent vapor
#

There are separate tables for weapons, gear, and accessories, because their sources tend to differ from one another.

minor sorrel
#

Yeah i saw that special tomestone thing requires to do a savage raid or something? marblegrump

elfin wave
#

Not savage, no

#

I think you just need to do P8 4 times

minor sorrel
elfin wave
#

Though doing P6S does drop one without having to exchange the swords from P8

#

(But since P8 gives you a sword for finishing it automatically regardless of the other loot, you really don't need to bother with P6S)

#

Again
Either P6S or four runs of P8 ChillBar_shrug

#

also the Tomestone in P6S is loot you'd need to roll on SataniaLMAO

sterile condor
#

is the p8 not weekly atm?

elfin wave
#

(I think the intent was that doing P6S means you can just get the Lunar Envoy without having to wait for weeklies)

elfin wave
sterile condor
#

rdwut oh duh

elfin wave
#

and that'll probably be only the case until 6.5

#

SanaeDumbass I didn't grind P5-8 for days for Abyssos armor for nothing

magic burrow
#

Red Alphi

plucky cairn
# minor sorrel

You exchange 4 tokens you get by doing p8s for one at the vendor

#

It also drops in savage raids but it's not the only way to get it

elfin wave
#

Regular P8*

plucky cairn
#

Yeah sorry

#

Not p8s

hasty kayak
elfin wave
#

would be funnier if they posted Alphinaud instead

elfin wave
#

COMMITTED!

elfin wave
#

It is possible to solo Thordan EX as a RPR
not recommended

#

EX Zurvan tho is very much recommended
I completely skipped his ADD phase ThumbsUp

elfin wave
#

be me
doing raid
tank fails mechanic so i have to quickly go from Off to Main tank
tries to use mouse rather than provoke keybind

#

No prizes for guessing what happened

#

It wasn't too bad because the boss was at like 5% health anyway but since you can't cancel the tank LB... SGuraExtraSweat

hasty kayak
#

you cant what ponknothoughtsheadempty

elfin wave
#

I learned from this

minor sorrel
#

Ye gods, this is more terrifying than the t-1000

elfin wave
#

why are you watching on YouTube

#

DID YOU SKIP HILDIBRAND QUESTS

dapper meteor
#

YOU MUST DO THE HILDIBRAND QUESTS

elfin wave
#

or if what i'm seeing is correct
you're redeeming yourself for any past misdemeanours

hasty kayak
#

i remember i thought the quests a bit too silly at first but nowadays every few days i go "i need some levity in my ff14 life yet there is only trauma i miss my darling buddy pal hildy"

elfin wave
minor sorrel
#

I am doing them, and I just went to youtube to screenshot it rather than finding the book in a room

#

Also dear god Hildi's faces flutterfear

elfin wave
#

Okay, good

dapper meteor
#

Meanwhile the WoL is watching on like

elfin wave
#

puts gun down

minor sorrel

I did just get to the halberd tug of war scene

#

WoL:

elfin wave

pefect use of that emote

minor sorrel

elfin wave
#

I'm pretty sure you could solo it

minor sorrel
#

i'm queued up as my 57 sam for the smidgen of xp ppenk

#

for my 90 it's what, unsynched ?

#

ah unrestricted

#

"Duty Complete!"

elfin wave
#

i think you reached an understanding

#

the understanding that Gilgamesh will POUND YOU SILLAH

#

.. the fact that Gilgamesh is only VA'd in ARR is an absolute travesty

#

I mean that 100%

minor sorrel
#

I feal like i've heard his VA in some anime

elfin wave
#

oh right you play in JP

#

if i could be bothered I'd log in and do a run of BotBB so I could show you the English VAing

#

he's just
like it's peak cheesy VAing and I wish they brought his VA back, even if it was ARR quality acting

#

IT'S PERFECT FOR A MEME LIKE HIM

#

BTW as bringi said there's no Hildi in ShB so
You have ARR, HW, SB and then EW Hildibrand quests
and well
the payoff to there being no ShB Hildi quests is worth it imo, lmao

minor sorrel
#

https://youtu.be/EoE7t-wh2vQ?si=NA1GGxvt3-biKLtj&t=273 I'd say the JP voice is even more meme-y

Right?

#

Am i suddenly playing Yakuza...?

elfin wave
#

i mean
I think Kiryu would run into battle with Nugget by his side if things allowed

minor sorrel
#

(Note that i've yet to play any yakuza game)

plucky cairn
#

Fun Fact, the Hildy quests were originally a way for the animators to test their limits with the game engine

minor sorrel
#

Testing the limits of the faces, more like

plucky cairn
#

It's why they are all so crazy and the expressions tend to be so exaggerated, they were a way to see how far they could push the game

elfin wave
#

And then knowing what they could do leads to the better animation quality in later expansions

it's funny because I'm just imagining the final boss of the NieR raids having a particular attack that just launches you out of the arena if you get hit by it

Erik: A watered-down explanation, but adequate for one of your mental prowess, I believe. Mine own wife never had the patience for such things either, nor my passion. She cursed me and my work, took our children, and returned to Ala Mhigo...

Your wife left you?

I LAUGH AT YOUR MISFORTUNE
BECAUSE I AM A SIMPLE MONK BRAIN AND THAT IS ALL I KNOW

i did not anticipate you dislikin erik this much ponknothoughtsheadempty i figured you'd get intelligence insults all the time in war questline...

elfin wave
#

Surprisingly, no

#

more about the war raging within and stopping your mentor from Commiting Murder

hasty kayak
#

i suddenly realize monk is akin to how i assume new dragoon players feel in a sense that doin it "later" than the intended timeframe in the story creates some cognitive dissonance ponknothoughtsheadempty mnk leans heavily into ala mhigo's subjugation at some points, yet if you play this class post stormblood it just, doesnt leave as much impact

monk gameplay is fun ppinkiejoy cant wait for ya to enjoy the nadi system

the nani system

level 47 btw
1-50 is pain

#

man i got the last 5.0 trial just now and

FUCK does that go hard

#

yayyyy 88 on GNB

I'll probably have it done before weekly reset if I bothered to do all the dailies but

#

not as flashy as say, drg pullin a dragon outta their arse, but tis ours so its the best

#

a question for red mage players: how do ya.... do the thing? it feels like no matter what i do i always inevitably end at the low end of dps list (at least goin by the enmity ranking). i dont know if thats a magic dps thing but here i am tryin to play to the best of my ability n yet healers outdamage me sometimes, n generally thats a uh oh sign

#

feels like im draggin down alliance raids when i play rdm in them :c

#

n yet i think i have the basics down? jolt if i dont have dualcast or verstone/fire for shortest cast time. swap black n white skills around for balanced mana pool. go ham with melee 1-2-3 when poll is above 50 n throw corps a corps / engagement / displacement in there when possible. aoe version is 3 enhanced moulinets with 60 polls. tap contre sixte n fleche on cooldown. use acceleration as needed. i just dont know, am i missin somethin obvious?

minor sorrel
#

I'm probably very wrong but isn't RDM more support-y than raw dps?

hasty kayak
#

hmmmm, well we can revive ppl if shit hits the fan in 64+, but rdm is no bard or dancer

#

I can defo hit 90 with GNB today

#

Might take all the dailies to do so

#

on a side note thanks to me grinding EW content my GNB is going to be STACKED as soon as I hit 90

elfin wave
#

Tribal Quests got me over the hump CB_yay

#

I should really do the EW one, if I'm getting 900k EXP from the ShB ones the EW ones are going to be insane

#

Okay, ILVL 640 GNB already is nuts
The only thing keeping it from matching WAR is the weapon (Since it's the current Manderville step and while it's not BIS I am not trying to go that hard SanaeDumbass)
Also decided that Snow White is my dye of choice for GNB
something something guardian or other something something Daddy Thancred

#

this totally isn't a Gaius knockoff, lmao

#

Have I mentioned that ShB/EW jobs have fucking sick animations yet?

#

As for how to compares to Warrior now that I've got the full kit...
I like it
It's fun to just burst the fuck out of everything like I'm a DPS
But I don't think the actual "tank" side of things is enough for me
Which tbf coming from WAR which has godly sustainability is a bit unfair to compare

also like with WAR I never use the "x to not die" button, but I actually USE it on GNB!...

To commit seppuku... Which is more than "once in a blue moon", tbf

It's the upgraded version of one of the EW tomestone weapons

#

I'll probably get EW Relic eventually, but for now this works bootifully

hasty kayak
#

ill say it again playin as drk fits this dreamfighting soooooo well

elfin wave
#

I'll probably use GNB for 8-24 man content, seems to be better at off-tanking

#

and then I can do the emergency tank swap when the other tank inevitably fucks up

#

Still the level 90 skill being your own version of Gaius' ultimate attack is such a cool throwback too :3

#

sigh im havin a shoe crisis again

#

on one hand, i like the shoes! those are the monk shoes! i like them! i like the extra armor plating that is nontheless flexible for complex footwork monks do!

#

on the other hand..... maybe somethin different would work better to tie the vibe? brown instead of white, perhaps? brown with slight touches of yellow? auugh i dont know

#

to the eorzea collection again, i guess

#

they have to be just-below knee shoes, since above knees hide the best part of the pants n just up the knee look. i dunno, dumb?

#

glam is both the endgame and the final boss i swear

minor sorrel
#

@elfin wave Which would you say is the fastest of the bunch? meowthinkingsmirk

hasty kayak
#

definitely not prae

minor sorrel
#

well yeah

plucky cairn
#

Euprhrosine has the benefit that ti gives you current tomestones rather than poetics

#

And i think it's the fastest but admittedly I never run Dun or the monastery

#

So I don't actually know

minor sorrel
#

Roulette did just give that to me and yeah i do think it's pretty fast

#

Mostly going for the irregular tomestones though

hasty kayak
#

orbonne isnt bad, from my perspective at least

plucky cairn
#

Yeah, but it's an added benefit

#

Or a negative if you need poetics

So the already received thing is for what, the roulette part?

I think it's the coin, or token or whatever that is

And ah yeah the coin

plucky cairn

So I'd go with that one

hasty kayak
#

i did have a similar thought about that, glad to hear that confirmation from another

#

okay, lets give it a try

#

it is not as 'armored' as i would like, but the bonus here is that shoes fit snugly from the back too, where the monk shoes dont fit snugly to the pants

Like my last run yesterday I started it with like 20 minutes until reset and I still got out right before reset.

... I'd still go Eph and Tower though for gear/rewards unrelated to Tomestones

The ShB raids are nightmareishly rare outside of these events so you might as well take advantage and try to get what you can while people are actively trying to run them

Au'ra brains, you see

elfin wave
#

Or lack thereof

plucky cairn
#

At this point I am invested in seeing bringi explanation

hasty kayak
#

@elfin wave ok so. i really uh. got into this. oops. ANYWAY a few basic pointers, so you can feel more comfortable with the core loop before nadis and riddles complicate the job.

lets start with the most important thing. keep your "combo trios" grouped together correctly. i dont know how your keybinds are set, but i highly, highly recommend setting your buttons in such a way that you have them all in one place n can easily swap between them mid combo.

here´s my bars for an example. you can see i have the 123 and alt-123 set for the single damage rotations, the yellow and blue rectangle. first slot is for raptor skills, then coeurl, then opo-opo. and because my third bar is set to ctrl and i have a hard time pressin it with my pinkie, i instead have my aoe trio set as 456 (in the red rectangle). and again, its raptor, then coeurl, then opo-opo.

the other highly important button is your meditation button. thats the pink rectangle n u press that bitch for free damage when its charged. a good idea is to always keep that gauge full n ready, so just press it whenever outside combat. and you keep pressing it to charge if boss decides u cant punch at the moment. we dont have ranged attack so we just charge meditation until we can go back to punch.

and the other other important button is in pale blue, perfect balance. it will be crucial for nadis so its a good idea to keep it at place u can easily press semi-often for future. and, you can really use it for your advantage now too!

thats the very veeeeery basics. make sure you group yer buttons correctly so its easy to press them in order when they light up. you doin damage now, hurray!

#

now before i continue, buffs n debufs. they affect monk rotation. i noticed your ui isnt. ideal to keep track of those. i recommend degrouping target stats as seen in image one and turnin on your debuffs go first in image 2.

#

just put your buffs n debuffs icons close together so u can easily see whats goin on

#

n now, how to play a little more optimally? behold, a c h a r t

plucky cairn
#

Or if you are a filthy cheater like me you can add an addon that make your buffs more noticeable at a glance

hasty kayak
#

now you monk good at lvl 50

#

(i cant even monk that good i dont always remember to do positionals correctly)

plucky cairn
#

As a sidenote displaying only detrimental effects you inflict can be a problem at high level, since seeing other people debuffs can be important to for example, fitting your burst into the ninja vulnerability window or not doubling up on addle/feint but it's really not a huge deal at this level

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

Really good explanation

hasty kayak
#

there's always more, like not forgettin to use true north if you cant position (which i endlessly forget about)

#

but really as long as you at least tap your 1-2-3s correctly u wont b completely terrible. but the chart is helpful if u wanna optimise monk a bit. n if its ingrained in you to keep your buffs in checks, that helps in other jobs too, like say, bard debuffs

plucky cairn
#

True, renewing dots is a difficult skill to master

hasty kayak
#

definitely not angry every time i accidentally drop my bards DoTs... definitely not.....

plucky cairn
#

At least now it's not disastrous as before EW bard changes

hasty kayak
#

i dread to ask but im also curious

plucky cairn
#

Basically, each of your songs have effects that proc randomly right?

#

Before those effects proc was bad based on each tick of your dots.

#

So if you didn't have dots on, your songs didn't proc at all

hasty kayak
#

that's terrible

plucky cairn
#

The good side, is that if you had more than one enemy on the field, you were insane

#

Because you applied dots to all of them and your songs proceed 2/3/4 times as often

hasty kayak
#

pitch perfect go RATATATATTATATATA

plucky cairn
#

But dropping the dot also meant you dropped basically most of your DPS

hasty kayak
#

mustve been wacky

#

like i do in red mage!

#

i dont know why that job is so hard for me

plucky cairn
#

Also there aren't many high end encounters with more than one target

hasty kayak
#

augh the 2000 limit on poetic tomes is so annoyin. i dont even know what to spend them on anymore, until i unlock shb gear its useless to me. i keep throwin them at materia so i can sell them on the market board bc thats about the only idea i had

plucky cairn
#

There should be some orchestrion rolls at idylshire and ralghar reach if you didn't pick those up yet

latent vapor
#

You know what? I still have unused fantasia from the level 50 quest that I did two years ago. Maybe, with my current knowledge, I would have made some other choices when I first created my character, but I've grown too attached to him to change anything.

elfin wave
#

that was a lot but i get it

hasty kayak
plucky cairn
#

Basically yeah, as bringi said you have a 123 and each of the 3 buttons have 2 different skills you can use, depending on the situation

#

And a AOE version

hasty kayak
#

the chart effectively means that in single target rotation, you can usually fit two true strikes and maaaybe two snap punches in between the buff n debuff skills. so you go "do dragon kick - twin snakes (attack up) - demolish (target DoT) - dragon kick (bootshine ready) - true strike - snap punch - bootshine - true strike - snap punch (if enough time on DoT, otherwise demolish) - dragon kick (bootshine ready) - twin snakes (attack up) and so on

#

but i generally find it easier to eyeball the timers? whichever works for ya

elfin wave

#

all 80s lets gooooo

tho bard is fun gameplay ya should give it a shot

sigh I GUESS I can do birdpeople

hasty kayak
#

man ur button binds are something else ponknothoughtsheadempty ye are kiinda mixin the aoe's with the single targets, from what i can tell, im not sure if ur doint that on purpose. your aoe skills are currently on 2-F-X in that order, your raptors are on 1 and 3, your coeurls on G and E and opo opos on Z and V.

#

which is. i mean if it works for ya

elfin wave
#

I think I am mixing them sanae_Derp

#

lets see, what would i recommend in this situation... i dont have the left hand set quite like this but i guess thats cause your right is for the mouse, correct?

elfin wave
#

THESE STANCES ARE HEKK

elfin wave

okay i sorted it so like
there's three groups now
Raw deeps

I GOT USED TO IT

I feel like this setup would be hell once you start introducing nadis into the mix

Like, the old one

hasty kayak
#

yeaaaaaah

elfin wave

#

honestly, considerin u use numpad, why not just put all the fighty skills onto 1-9, n then drip the other skills around the wasd?

elfin wave
plucky cairn
#

Congrats

elfin wave
#

and now everything's on Numpad

hasty kayak
#

ok if i can b annoyin. lookin at ur options, consider:

#

this is for full 90 kit but u know if u assign everythin buttons in advance.... itll take less time to get used to it penk

elfin wave
#

lemmie just copy that message link for later

hasty kayak
#

tho whatever works for ya ppinkiecorrect

#

im just desperate for more monk players

elfin wave

I could tell

#

play more Warrior NOW

🪓 warmorning

hasty kayak
#

now that im actually not afraid of tanks anymore..... sure i can make it my next class when i get an itch for new stuff

#

im kinda tryin to refocus on msq now ponknothoughtsheadempty it kinda got away from me in favor of duty roulette fun

elfin wave
#

If you can play DRK you can play WAR

#

i feel like this new layout is going to give me hand pains

hasty kayak
#

welcome to monk

minor sorrel
#

logs on to screenshot his layout

#

Red is default 1-2-3 buttons on keyboard. 7-8-9 are using my mmo mouse side buttons so they're super easy to click. Green row is all shift so it's just shif 1 etc,

#

Top row is not bound so I just mouse click em which I know is bad but shush ppenk

#

woops used green twice

hasty kayak
#

thancred perjaps you picked a wrong tank class

#

this is soooooo melodramatic of you sid would absolutely adore you

plucky cairn
#

Which part?

#

I think that Thancred can only be Gunbreaker or Warrior.
He can't cast magic or manipulate aether, meaning that there is no way that he can be Dark Knight or PLD.

And Gunbreaker only because someone else infuses his cartridges for him.

hasty kayak
#

im aware, but at the same time the e d g e

#

what do you MEAN out of nowhere "twilight over thanalan"

#

i hate this fuckin game when it gives me chest pains

plucky cairn
#

Are you by any chance, doing the best part of the game, the Trolley part?

hasty kayak
#

i dont think im enough of a thancred fan to consider it best

#

but yes thats what we're doin

plucky cairn
#

Fuck Thancred, praise be to the trolley

hasty kayak
#

ah, good then!

#

currently we tryin to find a rock to replace a talos heart

#

n he's in a sadge monologue

(I'm extremely sarcastic, that part I feel is kinda slow, they should have probably cut a good chunk from it, but the Dadcred scenes are pretty good)

#

btw why do all hroghtar n not-hroghtar have russian accent ponknothoughtsheadempty

plucky cairn
#

The trolley obsessed dude is funny but not enough to drive hours of this

hasty kayak
#

not that im complainin. i guess its to accompany viera french

#

i think its meant to b french accent at leasz

plucky cairn
#

Lyna's accent is icelandic

#

Or so I was told

hasty kayak
#

o

plucky cairn
#

It's a really good accent

hasty kayak
#

LMAO THE PLOT CONVENIENT ROCK

#

im sorry i know what the game is gettin at but this is so incredibly funny to me

#

"wow! we sure are lucky that we happened to find this specific worm that had this specific rock, huh?"

plucky cairn
#

I agree but also the Magnus scene after is pretty good so I can't complain

#

They got a good VA for him

hasty kayak
#

i understand, sometimes you need means to a scene

#

still very funny

plucky cairn
#

It was not exactly masterful writing, yeah

hasty kayak
#

i wish i had some sidequests as a miner here

#

it could've been fun....

plucky cairn
#

I don't remember if the crystaline means gathering quest bring you here

hasty kayak
#

oh. oh thats effective alright

#

welp theres them tears

plucky cairn
#

Yeah I did forgive them the contrivances and the lenght and the trolley worship because they did stick the landing

#

Also Magnus is definitely meant to represent a side of Thancred in this

#

He can't let go of Minfilia, like he couldn't get closure for his wife.
Which is why it's important that they have that conversation.

#

And it's also why Thancred is emotionally unavailable and closes within himself, which is not quite as self destructive as the way Magnus did it, but it's a similar form of unhealthy mourining, or inability of rather.

#

Reminder that the Scions are only there because of Truck-kun's bullshit missing you and hitting them instead

plucky cairn
#

It's more that the previous line literally ends with "The scions and their champion" so I think it's meant to be pretty clear who he refers to

elfin wave
#
