AND THIS
TO GO
ONE STEP
B E Y O N D
Same issue as before 
Bringi hasn't encountered ||the bunnies yet||
awwwwwww a good boiiiiii
Oh right.
How do you spoiler again?
-> || on both sides of text
So 2 on each side?
yus
But thanks for reminding me how to do it.
oh pfft, game u dealin with an overachiever here. take your pick
lol
oh my that is a whole lotta gear
ah, so ||org XIII wannabees have an actual name now||

Ah yes, listen to music
i have never been more insulted in my entire life
buddy this is PEAK FASHION how dare you
actually do you know what the level 80 MNK gear looks like?
lmao
i mean, my GNB drip is "Discount Dadcred" after all
but f u c k the white and gold just P O P S
here
Wow that really is discount Hien
or upgraded Whatshisface from the MNK questline
Widargelt
Ignore the fact he's covered by the raid pop 
The music represents a guy who is lonely, wishing for the past
Oh you got to ||Amaurot||
also ignore the fact it's a ShB raid
i swear the name means nothing
Yeah the Ost is really nice, with the ticking, like it's a place out of time, or frozen in time.
(i spent half a fucking hour waiting for it)
sadge
eeeh i mean there are better overworld themes but i recognize ur bias its okay
We arenāt friends anymore
IDk if there are TBH, at least for how well it ties to the story
Itās about a lonely man!!!!
Fair.
I will snap bringy out of existence
There's a reason why I stan for that song that comes up later
and honestly i didn't realise they were connected for a while until I returned to that area for Sage gear, I think
ye well its no songs of salt and suffering right outta a fire emblem game
https://youtu.be/dVEWrwV01A8?t=80 i am simply too enamored with this part so 
FFXIV The Lochs
Another glorious theme for another glorious zone. Video showing footage taking a tour about the final overworld area of Stormblood, The Lochs. There are some slight spoilers in the footage, nothing you wouldn't expect to be honest but if you're looking for purity look away!
Find the rest of the FFXIV OST here!
http://www.youtube...
also here i thought ud vouch for the au ra chorus 
which is another neato theme
It's alright.
I cared more about "Ohhh, this is where the Xaela came from!" than the song itself, lol
my enby in Hydaelyn
there is no hydaelyn she hasnt talked to me since hw. i miss my crystal deity hc. i miss her a lot

Hydaelyn evil
yeah, you would say that
zodiark good
alas my prejudice holds n i still wanna punch emet n his god in the face
please don't punch Zodiark that's my home server
o hey i recognize these quotes
first is ||grandpa bird|| second is ||drk questline||
a

This bit is such a good add ||the fact that he knew you before the sundering adds so much to the whole song and dance you just went through, with him being willing to cooperate.||
||Also opens the doors to speculating what kind of relationship he had with the old you, and as you might expect, the shippers heated the ovens and baked really hard at this point||
Remember when I ranted about the expansion was really good at making a cosmic level conflict feel really personal
I spoke of shipping but ||it works exceptionally well if your headcanon is just friends or even rivals||
even if it wasnt thats the path im pickin

okay, i can fly now (that was fast...) before we get to pain and suffering i have one little thing to adress
š£
Goddammit

thats all crafgatherers done at last. cant wait to see the culmination of these once im in post-5.0
with fight jobs i guess itll depend ||what ardbert does in this final stretch before first credits. im hopin to get the answer about that elezen pally of theirs that was oh so mysteriously absent in hw.||
oh. oh
okay when i said ill do fisher before pain n suffering i didnt think that literally next quest IS it
i didnt check the name are u jokin
welp ok i guess here we are 
My favourite dungeon
The game is pretty predictible
Every expansion is 5 leveling dungeons, 1 final dungeon and 3 trials
Literally every single one of them
Yeah that one is a low blow
we came to punch you in the face!!!
where's that dialogue option game
AND HERE COMES ALPHI WITH A STEEL CHAAAAAAAIR
i mean it will have to wait until tomorrow, for u see my internet is trash for actual mmo content so and i do want to enjoy this back at my flat“s acceptable connection speed
i delayed this for an eel i think im not exploding yet
itd b an honor to kick this guy's ass with u n hc tomorrow, if you two find the time
Depends on when it happens for me, I have a thing in the morning and afternoon, but I should be around after dinner
itll not b before dinner since i dont get to my flat until 7pm my time at the earliest n ill still have to do dungeon first, so we should b in the clear

tcher u can come too if ud b able to make it!
its always funny to try n imagine in-universe justifications for WOLs pingponginess all over the realms
"ok guys i know he just walked dramatically into a wall of fire n we're literally in the final showdown, but i just remembered i need to help dwarves with their tanks so ill b back in a bit, okay?"
"... tanks? aren't you just dabbling in paladin and dark knight?"
"not that kind of tank, than."
so anyway apparently we are addin LASERS to dwarf tanks, very gud
lmao, rood
i'm heading to bed in like an hour so prob not
tomorrow i mean
ill just ping ye when we get around to it, u'll decide if u wanna join or not
Tomorrow might be doable! I am working buuuuut i am not waiting for calls (yay sundays)
My sub's expiring on the 25th so yeah good timing 
You have my axe. AND MY AXE.

And. My. AXE.
i am full srs
I havenāt played XIV in a while. Who do you main bringi?
monk
nice.
I use black mage
i have red mage in magical dps. its. frustratin havin to wait ages for casts to finish n bein unable to move
but there is a part of me that wants to try and get all jobs eventually, so perhaps ill learn why it gets the "hardest job" moniker so often
Yeah thatās the only problem with mages is you have to stay in the spot until the spell is complete. But I love doing damage at range.
slidecasting is a thing of course, but i cant always reliably guess where the threshold is 
I might try samurai next
i've found that around .5 seconds left on the cast tends to work
but like
i've levelled exactly three caster jobs and two of those were healers
and the other was Summoner 
What is the hardest job in the game?
well, kinda depends what specifically you find hard about jobs ya know
one of those "noone will ever agree on this" questions. from what ive gathered frequent candidates are blm, ast, mch, mnk, nin, drk. gen as someone who actually has everythin at 90 probably has better insight on this but i remember him mentionin blm is one of the classes he struggles with
we don't talk about blue mage
from the classes i use, my problem kids are rdm and nin, and i have easiest time with mnk and brd
for me it's like
AST and SGE are my weak points and RPR and WAR are the two I'm most comfortable with
Ah right
There is a trick for getting used to that
If you put an emoji on your bars, when it lights up its when you are able to slide cast
Emotes grey out during cast
It's generally the last .50 seconds of the cast but that helps with visual representation

See I told ye

That dungeon is a spectacle for sure
ALISAIE WITH A STEEL CHAAAAAAAAIR
they rlly knew what they were doin with dat twin writing 
Yep, nailed Thancred pretty well too in SHB.
Much better than random womaniser dude.
Dadcred best
Also I half jokingly say that you can see that a lady is now in charge of the story.
||Your center point character for the expansion is a hot dude with a lot of sad feelings you have to fix (Ardbert)||
||You main hot companion is now a dad with a lot of sad feelings you have to help him reconcile (Thancred)||
||The antagonist is a very sad hot dude you have to confront.||
||And the main helper is a very hot catboy with a lot of feelings for you||
This turned real fast in an Otome story and I don't even care, it works really well
yeah okay okay okay yeah okay thats one point to WAR mains i guess
I assume you are at the guitar riff
i'm BAD TO THE BONE

Lemme eat something RQ and I'll be around
i'll be around
god the abyssos armor looks so good
gotta hand it to writers once more, love how they ||directly tie havin other adventures with you in this one. pretty cool to have truck kun summon "champions beyond the rift" and all that||
Yeah and it's also a way to make the expansion end the same way it begun
by an isekai
The same incantation, it makes a whole lot of sense, and it rhymes narratively speaking
You cheering for wrong people
I'm here btw
Lemmie bathroom rq

hmm
if its any consolation gums, its was a nice last stand speech
Yeah I can swing it, lemme log on :X if i remember how to shift to the right server, someone remind me
and hey i might still die a painful n fiery death so maybe you'll get your vindication at the very least
Did you see what he saw in you?
Aka ||shadowily figure when you stood up||
ye the ||og wol||
What could that mean hmmm
i have eyes
Which server am i looking for again? 
you know i just realise the irony of (nsfb) ||using armor made from Ascian artifacts to kill an Ascian||
Logging in
If we are doing duty finder stuff, any server is technically fine as long as you get the DC right
Well you didnāt have eyes on the metro system when we got lost
I'm on š
well gums, i guess it could possibly be ||the fourteenth and og WOL both. the self aware shade said there used to b 13 ppl in convocation but then another came. could be the same one who then eventually orchestrated hydaelyn. same person who's body would then split into WOLs. but i guess we'll see that.||
i can confirm
The reunion is somewhat ruined by the naked elf
lmao
airguitar
only died once, not bad!
Such a good boss fight
punch
Yeah congrats on finishing release Shadowbringers story
I actually forgot to put together the side activity blurb, I'll have to do that RQ
why are you like this tch
Gotta clean up these drunk Au'ras

maybe
fite
aww truck kun lil ear wiggle
that viera is judging me
as a trio of players RP walks past me 
pfffft we love melodramatic shit swimmer alphi in this house
Hell yeah!
awwww ardbert isnt narratin anymore cuz he ded
or well uh
u know
more than before
Canāt wait for you to find out who the narrator of endwalker is
You will know from trailer
answers quote yaaay!
TO LISTEN TO SUFFER
Yep that bit hit like a truck
pain
Also the transition is so damn cool
mhmm
It hits even worse after you did all of the role quests
Endbringy next

idk if thats much better
well. hmm. most of our entourage are still ||stuck in the first, so i suppose some of the post patch will hopefully deal with that||
i miss the lalas. i miss them a lot
I miss Giott, bringi
I miss her a lot
I'll be back
flies off in a tank
the tank is so good
Shut up izzy
There's one you can pick up called "By The Time You Hear This" that I would recommend picking up
that's a dungeon
The second thing, is that now every class you complete the lvl 70
Also the quest only unlocks when you hit 80 for any pre-EW Job
my current title comes from the GNB version (Wandering Vanguard)
as credits keep rollin im realizin this leaves us in such a curious position too in status quo. ||will varis continue steering the empire in the same direction or will he add some personal flair now that he isnt badgered by emet-selch? how is lahabrea gonna step up? actually how are his views gonna affect this? i now realize he has white robes, is the significance that he could potentially be more hydaelyn-inclined somehow? and lets not forget about zenos, last time we saw him he was ready to throw hands. oh yeah, and our bodies are also still in da limbo, thats a cute little detail better remembered||
oh this leaves so many fun threads for endwalker to tackle
||how is lahabrea gonna step up?||
||You mean Elidibus, Lahabreah is very dead thank god||
Ascian names are fun
lol
I don't quite get the half body thing though 
|| "will varis continue steering the empire in the same direction or will he add some personal flair now that he isnt badgered by emet-selch? how is lahabrea gonna step up? actually how are his views gonna affect this?"|| Tune in next time on Dragonball Z Bringi Endwalker!
welp, that was three months spent on shadowbringers proper. slightly less than stormblood's four months and heavensward's three n half months. definitely not as fast as arr's month (ignorin the time spent in patches, just talkin about .0 i mean)
You will probably get to Endlwalker before Dawntrail, finishing it, maybe.
and this was 34 minutes of credits rollin lmao, nice
yes i did sit here n let it roll bc i do that in games 
My bet is that you'll be in the post EW patches when DT releases
I haven't really progressed at all in Endwalker past what I posted earlier
||Just did the ice covered dungeon in Garlemald mountains|| nsfbringi
Actually I bet that you will be stuck forver on the Island Sanctuary when DT release

is that the famed animal crossing side activity i heard of
i know nothin else just this moniker
Yeah, worse animal crossing, but still pretty nice
Also they keep adding features to it, now you can decorate it with outdoor furnishings
You can let minions roam around, it's kind of nice

ye ill spend anywhere between six months n sixty years on that
TATARUUUUUUU MENTION
ooh, right, that's probably meant for ||our cat boi since truck kun is from alt reality||
MEANWHILE, AT THE ASSHOLE CENTRAL
yeehaw thats my favorite adversary
He's back
It's not often that you ||kill someone and instead 2 of them pop up, that's like, the opposite of what is supposed to happen, but at least now all's right with the world, and our stalker is finally restored||
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO we love a good callback
chef kiss that is beautiful
tataruuuuuuuuuu

ah. of course
lest we forget. ||the moon is still haunted||

||hopefully you'll never have to see what haunts it|| 
I canāt wait till bringy meets my second favourite character
Back to his usual tricks it seems
alright, now we“re officially done with 5.0
Also you got the Eden teaser in the middle of it
IIRC
Hyped for Eden, will happily join in and it's also pretty damn good
is that the ||strange craft out in the white nothingness|| or ||ryne n than's quest||
It's the same thing
The closing quest for DRK is one of the quests I just occasionally rewatch the cutscene of
Also it's great for my emotional vampirism since a good 60% of youtubers just cry at it
lol
I hate you
Just remembering this anecdote but
I believe one time while levelling AST solo the tank in our party had to go for like, 5+ minutes in order to put their kid back to bed and I just thought about it again now and how understanding the FFXIV community could be
Could have tried to kick them or whatever but nobody made a fuss, we were patient and I thought about it again and I hope they're doing better on the kid thing, haha
Oh right
@hasty kayak
This was the reaction she got the first time it came out she wrote the MSQ at a convention: ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywhTf2c5v9Y||
I don't think I already posted this here
But I have the brain of a goldfish
So now I'm second guessing that
Everyone liked that.
DELTA ATTACK
This community is way too horny, that's great
dude please no
That would be pretty interesting but Iām not sure if it would make a whole lot of sense
Fall Guys is already reaching, but itās hilarious enough to be fine
Then again I could see a Diablo event working
Hmm
Tristram in Eorzea! 
Actually I retract that, that might be a badass idea
Oh no
I see the difficulty being bigger to add it to Diablo 4 if anything. FF14 seems flexible enough to add different things

They can reuse Ifrit as the diablo model 
But yeah, Ybarra is the Blizzard lead at the moment so he's probably into this
Heās a big Blizzard fan, FF14 pulls a lot of its game mechanics from early WoW.

Thereās also a decent chance with the timing of the merger and Xbox version.

A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!! š„š„š„
š 28




@hasty kayak how would you rate shadowbringers? Among the fandom, itās the highest rating of all expansions so far and strongest story according to mostā¦or do you like stormblood more?
There is a wrong answer btw! 
Okay okay no wrong answer
it would, probably go
stormblood
shadowbringers
a realm reborn
heavensward
Somehow I knew you'd put Stormblood on top

Did I say no wrong answer? I meant no wrong answer for anyone else BUT gummy
How dare you
this is a rankin purely about how much i enjoyed it not about me tryin to be objective
i am aware shb has strongest writing of what i experienced so far, and that hw is literally award winning. shb just doesnt win over sb's pure bias and hw cant top arr's comfiness (ive always been a sucker for season 1-esque stories)
i dunno what to tell ya, im not fit to be a story critic
well that one is easy, i like lyse and emet-selch murdered uncountable lives
you have one of those?

easily the best mini game at #FFXIVFanFest
if you know any of the cosplayers, please do tag them š„ŗš„ŗ

Down to the last tile
It will be interesting to see where you put SHB post patches, and especially EW.
Because while EW isn't quite tailored to your interests as much as SB was, it does hits some points I have seen you being very interested in.
i guess one of my main hopes is that ew addresses ||hydaelyn part of the planet divorce story. we only really got a heavily biased view. but unless i somehow reestablish a connection with hydaelyn directly, i dont know how that would work. i dont think we have any "hydaelyn birther" ancients left. i guess hydaelyn herself would be the best option. i forgot how or why exactly she went dormant on us back in post-hw. her strength was spent or some such. maybe because of her link to mainfilia, and now that she's gone we could potentially reestablish that connection? maybe she's just hibernating like the asshole dragon? id have to rewatch the cutscene again to recall the details.||
it just feels like it would be a really wasted opportunity otherwise
... well, and EW also has the bird. i havent seen it yet so it has to be an ew thing. i dont know how a bird figures into all this
i just know i should fear it bc the sticker always friccin pops in the uh oh situations
I think that you could make a better guess now as to what is happening with her than you could back then, now that you have more info about ||the reflections and the mechanics of the calamities||
And also her relationship ||to Zodiark and all that, even tho as you guessed, Emet story isn't the whole truth||
i feels like at this point i'm bullying you with that sticker, lmao
But it's relatively truthful
Just giving you d r e a d every time it comes up
yeah its just like when gen says "interesting theory"
Like, when you have the whole picture you can go "I could see how you see it that way"
/wringhands
Good, good
I will not say anything about what happens tho, ||there is Elidibus to worry about now, and more importantly, to bring the Scions home before they die of not-having-a-soul...itis||
like i mentioned yesterday, i assume thatll be the plot for 5.1-5.3
either way, bed, i should really sleep, manechat just keeps bein too interesting or too chaotic tonight and yall are not helpin the situation
ill be back tomorrow, maybe ill figure somethin out durin work

I've kinda wanted to do something like that for my fiancƩe, but for a different game
okay, lets get started on the list with shadow walk with me

Rewatching that quest to remind me what it's said exactly, so I don't accidentally spoil stuff
It's so good
the twist was a given, but it does beg the questi- wait i forgot ||that ff14 races have different lifespans||

Not that different as in other works tho
ye the truly long aged are viera i suppose
Like, elezen don't usually live over 130
Viera get up to 300 years old
And it's the most extreme end of the spectrum
hold on wait a moment actually are u ||from the 13th or are u an ascian collaborator when u say world of dark||
And lore would have you believe they are rare, an illusion you can keep as long as you never go to Limsa
ah, okay, an ||alien||
i ask a question a few slides early once again
||ukelele friend aww||
that was nice. now, i found where the m o n k q u e s t has been hiding

i kept tryin to look for it in gyr abania
It's not all BTW, but for more of that througline you need to go forward with the MSQ
That questline that continues from "Shadow walk with me" is actually crazy that is hidden behind all that work
It's actually so fucking important for the lore
(hc nO) sobbing on the floor i missed you and your rude as hell remarks so much
Also, IIRC if you go back to ||Ukulele|| he has a few new lines about your recent meeting
(hc no cliccy) OH THATS RIGHT, ||sb questline ended with widargelt actually succeedin in reestablishin the monk cult order! we aint a job on the brink of death anymore, its so cool to see monk npcs other than him and the catgirls||

(yes hc all these spoilers are for you so dont) yoooooooooo the drip
back in rhalgr's reach lets go (hc. n o. still monk stuff)
!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!
||LYSE H I LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO||
no ||lyse i only just so happened to have monk attire and use monk moves for the vast majority of the time we knew each other what do you think||

||squeenix: walk to the mic monk quest a callback to stormblood-
me:
THAT'S MY BIAS YAAAAAAAASSSS
squeenix: and also lyse will be there
me: spontaneously explodes||

||HELP THEY'RE DOING THE MONK DANCE AT EACH OTHER IM GONNA DIE||
NOOOOOO I WANNA WATCH THE FIGHT GAME PLEASE LET ME
game. game why
actually you know what this is where my final fantasy xiv journey ends overall the experience was great but the ending sucks-
auuughfgfhfdhgfg game whyyyyyy
Listen, it costs money to animate fights, and this is a super secondary quest, for one of the then 17 jobs, that shipped with a massive expansion.
why would you hype me so badly only to pull a rug from under meeeeeee
They probably had 3 people to work on it, for like, 5 hours
If you think the DRK one has more animation I'm sorry to disappoint you
All the awesomness of the DKR closing quest is in the writing
once again i fail to see how thats gonna trumph the sheer power of bias but hey thats where we headed next so
we can have a direct comparison

look look look look look tho, ||these are poses taken right outta crimson lotus. like in hindsight ye of course that makes sense if you already put the effort in animatin an emote u gonna use it for your npcs when appropriate but this is still such an absolute delight to me||
okay, time to CRAAAAAWWWLIIINGGG IIIN MYYYYYY SKIIIIIIN

lmao rielle sidebrow
bitch u wat
OOF LMAO
sid buddy hold on you might need this


(just to be clear ||i am of course following the journal entries for my other side's input. how could i not||)
still the same cryptid asshole 
Disgusting
so you choose the shadow realm

Gen was supposed to save me..
i feel like im supposed to recognize this, but i dont
oh, that was it. okay. i uh. fear that, like most of the drk questline, that was kinda. too abstract

oh well, i think i may as well end today with my other tank quest
I don't think it was from somewhere else.
It's basically just telling you don't need therapy anymore.
Well at least not as much as before
ah. well thats nice. i wonder why people cry about it though 
i guess i failed to emotionally connect with this one otherwise it'd have impact
oh hey, so main characters aint the only ones able to switch jobs
good on ye buddy
LVL 50 quest was confronting the fact that you do violence to others, and coming to terms with it, without losing yourself and doing it indiscriminately.
Lvl 70 was confronting the grief for lives you take, and acknowledging that being merciful is good but ultimately, you'll have to shoulder the burden of the lives you had not choice taking.
Lvl 80 was your other half telling you that you accepted these truths, and you don't need your shadows anymore, you have done processing your feelings about what you do and you are resolved to go on.
Basically cemented your morality going forward, is a good interpretation.
It gave closer to your very literal inner conflict
So yeah, you don't need therapy anymore, at least not about that.
The WOL probably does need therapy tho, and a vacation, or maybe two
manifestin beach episode dawntrail
Meanwhile me, having played NieR:
"Ahh I've already slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of Garleans, what's a few more?"
That aināt a beach episode, i already played it, you fight lyse in it
Oh and lyse dies again
they knew what they were doing
Im back!
its so funny how ||the game just hates namazu with passion
poor lil fishpeople||
didn't the first one you met try to sell you out to the Garleans...
tbf Ishgardians did kind of murder a bunch of Xaela because they thought they were dragonspawn so you know it's not the worst racism in FFXIV
Correct
help the flying is even funnier
Oh, I've seen people noticing an hint about the mage job in DT
the tmnt shirt was a hint for viper, wasnt it?
No he explicitly said it'd be for the mage job
ooh
Like, super minor spoiler, in one of the 6.5 cutscenes a 3 leaf clover earring is involved in some way, I wont spoil how, and that has been usually associated to green mages
According to some people
So it will probably be green mage
i havent actually kept up with the news i just know bits n pieces that slip by 
well okay and i watched the viper trailer
bc it looked cool
Yeah classes aren't really spoilers anyway
ye
And Viper looks pretty sick
very assasins creed vibes of them
It's definitely what I'm doing the story of DT as
Final Fantasy 9 was my favourite FF before Shadowbringers, and the class is based on FF9 protagonist
I have to

the true endgoal, a mnk mnk

A theory I've seen for green mage, is a support caster, basically the opposite of Black Mage.
Essentially a similar place to bard in party composition, where it doesn't do much damage but a large part of its output comes by buffing allies.
my fave of ff9 (clarification: i only played part of the game, but i did watch a fantastically narrated ten hour long speedrun with laser focus) was steiner. thats my guy!!!
my buddy my pal
Steiner is awesome, agreed
Especially the rapport he formes with Vivi through the story.
i should give another shot to a full playthrough but just waves frantically have you seen my game to do list? baldurs gate 3? mass effect triology? i only have so much lifespan available
Haha
I think I played FF9 4 or 5 times, there was a period in which every few years I'd replay it
nods me with fire emblem three houses
So yeah, when Viper is coming, that's what I'm playing for a bit
fair fair
Also when you have the chance, try the intro quest to dancer if you want.
It has some ff9 references in it.

Nothing massive mind you
i admit i kinda decided that ill eventually slowly accumulate all of the jobs. but right now im stuck on war because arr dungeons are just somethin else navigation wise

i need to make myself actually play the friccin brayflox
but ya know theres just so many other shiny activites 
Go unsynched once to figure out the route once and for all, after it shouldn't be that hard
yeah thats what i did with haukke
no i took my pally
I think I already remarked about this, but as you hit 50 with war you can clear all the old Tank gear from the armory chest
Which is nice
i think i found out i prefer playin that over drk. drk is. harder
i need to take a look at what my rotation is supposed to look like its just not all that intuitive
Since GNB starts at 60 anyway, you wont ever need leveling tank stuff

and i also probably need to rework my button assignement for the sixtieth time
I think all of my tanks are at least in the 60s by now
cant find any comfortable layout to save my life on drk there just isnt enough space or my internal logic breaks on where everythin should be n thats a no no
I'm kind of surprised, tanks are so homogeneous
The one that goes more outside the box is PLD with a whole magic rotation
even with GNB's wacky follow up attack mechanic and ripping off Gaius
Yeah but as to have spaces as to where to put the buttons, it shouldn't be too difficult
To have abilities in different places that do similar things I mean
i just need to find the motivation to sit down with it again n recheck stuff
i still can't believe the level 90 skill is just a recoloured version of Gaius's ultimate attack
it makes SENSE it's just FUNNY
The game did set up certain expectations as to how gunblade attack look and they followed those expectations
I almost want to make a macro where I scream "EORZEA IS MINE BY RIGHT" every time i use it
As a sidenote, do you know that in FFXIV the word gun comes from gunblade?
Not the other way around?
I think I already shared this fact
Ok so here is the throughline
Yes Gunblades are the personal guards of queen Gunnhildr and the gunblade is a common weapon among them
The garleans arrived, removed the blade part, and just made the gun
It's so dumb, I love it
a veritable downgrade
Original gunblades don't have a hole to shoot the bullets from, they just have the revolver thing to charge aether filled cartdriges, they aren't even guns
But galeans not being able to use aether just modified them to shoot bullets
And then removed the blade later on
and then we got that one glorious meme with emet
well, the first Dancer we did see was a Viera...
So much is ||happening at the same time in that scene, that if he did cast some weird spell you'd just be confused as to what that did in the chaos, instead he just shoot a fucking gun, that's very obvious what it does||
wasnt the first viera the ivalice one
Yep
Fran is from FFXII
So it makes sense they'd involve her in the FFXII/Tactics themed raid
i didn't read the story of that raid series
I did, I wouldn't recommend it
but the crocodile people are cool.....
all i know is that Ultima the High Seraph loves to summon fuckers
even if ramza is a dick
Green mage is also from tactis btw
i do have newfound appreciation for these raids after gettin them a lot in roulette durin tomestones. fun fights even if people love shouting about the hole
LIKE HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU NEED TO SAY
"Denizens of the abyss! From ink of blackest night, I summon you!"??!?!?!??!
The gameplay is exceptional, best alliance raid of the previous expansions gameplay wise IMO.
It's just the story that i think is really bad
i got very tired of hearing that line
yeah tcher me too 
Ultima THS puts me in Missouri
why the fuck do i have like 7 hours of FFXIV footage
AND FOR SOME REASON THIS
Lala in the top right corner wondering what the fuck
guess i really wanted to show the "exploit"
i mean it's just a funny clip you can do someone showed me one day and I try to do it every Satasha run
even as a healer
espeically as a healer
here's the thing, you assume i actually keep my old levelling stuff and dont just always buy it anew

oh shit thats right the tomes trader for lvl 80 gear might be open in crystarium now!
i have to check that tomorrow
It's in Eulmore but yeah, they are definitely open
I think it's cryptlurker gear right? For SHB endgame gear
Yush
I can't remember exactly which vendor has Cryptlurker, it's a bit confusing
it's at the long table
right forget the main hub or whatever its just in eulmore
but its okay eulmore has cool music
EW does the same thing where the endgame gear vendors are at the second hub (But the first hub has the class armor for level 89/90)
and unlike ShB, you don't need to do any job quests to finish the expansion if I recall
all it gives you is Loreā¢ļø and the ability to dye said armor
i vastly prefer the first hub in EW but the second one has so many Things you Need To Do in it and I hate it, lmao
Relic weapon? That hub
Job quests? that hub
Raid gear? That hub
Hildibrand? That hub
You want to breathe correctly? That hub
You want to exist in post-EW? that hub

They also said a new limited job is coming
My hope is beastmaster
Going around the world capturing beasts to use to fight would be 10/10
<@&1128722919405650000> how do we feel about some roulette? yay or nay?
I'm up for it, I might have to bail soon to go eat something tho
Not tonight, sorry
Gimme like, 5 minutes to get stuff in order and I can join

I'm on, I think I can manage 1 or maybe 2 rulette before I have to go eat
average ninja experience really
there is a lot less naruto running than i expected
actually when i play ninja i do always run with my weapons pulled out for naruto run
bc like why else would you play nin
cmon
GOOD



so you can solo pretty much any ShB dungeon as a WAR
on an unrelated note, i did another Mt. Gulg run and I got ZERO FUCKING FENDING GEAR AGAIN
that's the SHB fat bastard's dungeon, right
yes
I think the tank armor from there is Pretty Cool
also solo unsynch might actually be faster than with Trust 
I did do the... hmm. I forget where, ends with that boss throwing fire at you and you have to burn couches and chandeliers?
Wanted that set with the tail
less stressful too
like i can just pull mobs without mitigation
cosmos?
Sounds right. Brooms too?
Ye
I mean you got at least one piece of fending gear if you ran it as a tank
It's guaranteed
And it gets delivered directly in the inventory when you beat the boss
Unless you got the weapon I guess
ah, i got the headgear
All levelling dungeons are guaranteed a piece of gear that you don't have, of the class you are playing
Yes, I think
That is assuming you don't drop any other part of the set from the chests
podcast time
Also make sure to keep the fending jewels until you have all the other stuff you need from it
noone mentioned such a thing no
Ah I see
Well if anyone here was on the fence or couldnāt get an invitation, go for it (again) next time, it was phenomenal
I got no idea where you live, it is in three locations each time
After the Las Vegas disaster a few months ago I was quite worried about the London one, but it was organised super well
Everything went smoothly
my inventory is pain
I did get the Mt. Gulg Orchestration Roll though
i think there's also a minion but you know
i just want the BOOTS of FENDING
Thereās an option in your character settings that makes new items show up in the last open slot. Iāve once taken the time to clean up my inventory, and since enabling that option, itās looked just fine
Everything at the end of the inventory is āthe pileā I can quickly go through once per day or so
Maybe that could help you too
maybe
i got the boots... of maiming

I GOT THE BOOTS AND I FORGOT TO CHECK THE BOSS CHEST
FUCK
I heard that the EU fanfest was great this time around, maybe I'll go next year, but I really hate traveling
upon further deliberation i have decided that A works better
ye i was about to say
that grey doesnt jive as well with red but it works on white
and u wont b a discount than anymore
There's something very
Gunbreaker-ey about this set.
its a good look
plus i like the idea of it being white due to it being made up of Sin Eater parts or something
fuck i love player names
i could swear ive seen speedy boy before 
i have met like
literal thousands of players in my time
probably
like not counting shit like Limsa, just dungeons and raids
point is if i have met speedy boy i don't remember them
(like a good 15-20% of screenshots is just funny player names)
hopefully it'll be within the EU next time
traveling to London is a real pita now
why is the scholar quest this sad

stop it i wanted silly tonberry shenanigans not angst of askin your loved one to kill you if you turn into a monster
wauuugh
LETS
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

perhaps the pally quest didnt deliver on its ship tease but scholar does not disappoint

thanks game but i dont think ill actually touch these unreal thingies
im caught up on all my current class quests now, so i think after sunday i will focus on the nier crossover
Iām a scholar main but skipped all the job quest cutscenes
Maybe I should do NG+ on those sometime
NIER RAID NIER RAID
Nier raid is so good
SPOOPY
axx

it's my All Saint's Wake outfit~
you know i think i accidentally stopped the raid from wiping at the last second
I didn't even realise you had to freeze the water pillar, lmao
oh thats right gotta check in on that
and on fashion report
i could finally afford to buy the nanamo triple triad card recently

also ignore the fact that in chat i said the bunny outfit makes me worse at the game

i spent like 200k+ on the whole bunny outfit and another 100k on the axe
i have to commit to the bit
hell that dye was a microtransaction
(I got ten pots of gold dye for my dwarf armor so i used the rest when i got the bunny outfit because i thought it'd be funny)
... nvm i'm stupid
then again, i did buy four emotes. i guess im already one the same degenerate boat
2.6k a pot isn't cheap by any standard but
i got scammed hard
All my glamour after I find out Metallic Gold Dye is (relatively) cheap
watch me rock up to our next session with gold Rathalos armor 
only four? 
i realize this is tangential, but i almost got caught by one of those phone scammers once. i thankfully didnt lose any money but i did give them my adress, like an idiot.
... though frankly im still content to blame it on them because they called me when i was in the middle of really bad fever and i just don't think its fair to expect that id have any mental capacities when im both one) just woken up and two) assaulted by my immune system
i wish i made the caller at least tinily guilty but i dont think those harpies have feelings
look i really needed advent of light
pat pat pat
i understand. crimson lotus was just too monk to leave alone, i adore the cheer wave n use it in dungeons all the time, and play dead n toast are just too funny
i do have a clip of Tataru dancing to a shop dance but it's part of a longer recording and i can't be bothered to clip it
""Tataru""
best feature of all saint's wake
just transform into fucking NPCs so you can do the dumbest shit as them
though i probably wouldn't go to that instance since it will probably have EW NPCs
From what I saw it was nobody major but I'd still hold off for spoilers' sake
you can also just be the WoL from the trailers if you want 
i cant quite pick apart everyone on this list, and some seem to be missin like, no ali or alphi? sad
Is this describing different MSQ characters? If so, is the WoL really putting Zenos in this list?
i think thats nero

given cid is above him
Yeah that makes more sense
and well, its definitely not msq characters since hildy and nashu are there
and i dont. think those two show up in msq?
have any of you ever played those fĆŖte thingies in firmament?
No I never bothered figuring how it worked
me: "aw man, i know gen said ill be able to find new custom deliveries now that im done with 5.0, but who knows when ill stumble upon them? lets just do them now for this week so i dont waste the crafter exp"
also me, immediately after im done: ooh whats this side quest do



so thats a thing for tuesday i guess 
ARR characters, basically
each expansion has its own menu, I decided to highlight the least spoiler-ey one
I have, a lot. Basically I bought everything that is sold with Skybuilder Scrips, and then capped the currency on top of it, all by doing the FETE's.
casually traumatizin their audience
'tis the season
is it a sign of playin the game too much if im startin to recognize by sound alone whether im doin the regular amount of gathering or if i triggered gatherers boon 
maybe
it do be like that sometimes
You keep aggro instead of avoiding it, and if you die it is someone else's fault.
I'm available, logging in a few minutes
Ginnie a few
clown is here
I'm also ready
Daaaaaannnngggg Iām outside the country rn
Ping me when you do the other two, I may be back by then
That's spoilers
Also NGL, I didn't fully understand what was happening in those raids anyway
chaos, sexy androids, depression
also why did i commend the healer that Rescued me during that last add phase when we were meant to split the d00ds
i need to do a grocery run, so i dont think im unlockin the second part tonight
so we can probably split for tonight no clue how long the in between quests are
oke, i'll throw myself back to Zodiark so I can do some stuff there
need to check on my retainers and command dudes
Until then https://youtu.be/czZR0hmeW1E

i think i heard bits of weight of the world in the theme, that was nice i like that song
Spoilers for the Nier alliance raid ahead.
Title: Weight of the World - Prelude Version
The battle theme for the final boss is the track that was teased in the past, the rest of the music comes from the Nier: Automata so i probably wont upload. You can find it easily from older videos.
actually the best fucking song in the entire raid series
Not that the others are bad but like
This easy top 5-3 themes in the entire game
unrelated: these are some pretty cool daggers
these aren't bad either~
I absolutely love what they did for the OST of these raids
Weight of the World especially
It's originally a Nier song, completely remixed into a battle theme for the rad and merged with FF music
My favourite in the entire game is probably cheating though
Look how cute this is, at this bit they even have the Final Fantasy piano medley https://youtu.be/GidkSDUMI8E?t=97

still pissed i didn't get the orchestration roll of that song
but eh, Nines card is good too
Like, that bit is the same bit as it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyklGmrMyxc
I love things like this so much
Final Fantasy 14 character screen and character creation background music.
The video footage used is an in-game recording of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.

Song: Prelude - Discoveries

Album: A Realm Reborn: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack
like i'm not sure if it's (nsfb) ||'Neath Dark Waters and the variations of that throughout post-ShB and eventually in post-EW orrrrr Close in the Distance because it gives me The Big Emotion||
||(fuck i love p11 way too much)||
Weight of the World (Prelude) is a big upset in the rankings, though
i mean i feel like second part of ultima n insatiable have this song beat but maybe i need some repeat hearings
also hi im bacc from shop

not even Maker's Ruin?
https://youtu.be/1l69nQsEHxI i cannot believe you prefer the ultima theme to this this is a travesty
A video showing the primal section of the Ultima Weapon fight in Praetorium with all but the BGM muted. This theme is The Maker's Ruin and can be found in game and on the newest OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of the FFXIV OST playlist here;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhDldATuFQ4&list=PLL5mKr-nFprKMsrDqpwsI1L0FKj4KgouH
I do not...
also i rember when Praetorium was an 8 man that took an hour

i get why they split it up but m a n
that was one way to end ARR
That's gonna be a go-home stain, Ascian.
Thanks for visiting! Such flatulation!

Final Fantasy XIV is an excellent cure for intestinal gas. Gaius approved!
#ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #arealmreborn #suchdevastation
i cant help it! when the WA AH AH AH AH AH hits i am immediately shot to stratosphere
https://youtu.be/nBT6hOtWcfU&t=78 its just too good!
renamin the role to exceptionally violent assistants now
perfect
also i cant describe the emotional whiplash they chose to do here. you have the angsty sad androids series.... and you put dwarves in it
and these two are no giott lemme tell ya
they rlly went "hey, want our entire soundtrack in your mmo?"
not that im complainin
wheeze WOL pls your drk is showing
kek
ooh its like the game ui
it's the thing
from the thing
:c i hate enviromental storytelling

I am not sure, but it's all over so probably, what tickles me is that Weigh of the World isn't a FF song, it's a Nier song, which is why I think it's super cute that they reinterpreted it that way, and made it fit in so much with the FFXIV vibe.
lali FUCKING ho
oh a ruby
REEEEED LIIIIKE ROOOOOSEEEEES
I think that body cosmetic is the 90 class gear
Which you know
Stylin' 
Say 'allo to Aloalo Island: #FFXIV Patch 6.51 is here! āļø
Patch notes š http://sqex.to/Zn5gJ
They really just called the island hellohello
Is this temporary or permanent?
Temporary, but they did say there'll be reruns
So close.
can't wait for Blunderville (Extreme)
average ffxiv player
beep beep
so is it a runnin course kinda event?
yeye
good to know, pass then
but but
funni beans
i dont care for platformers even when theyre designed for it
have you seen jumps in ff14
unless you clear that one kugane tower ur in no position to talk 
i nearly won the victory royale
If you're terrible it looks like it takes about 15mins to get the mount.
queue times pending
The first few jumps were the hardest to me. After I figured them out, the rest of the tower took me about 15 minutes.
2 months for now. They said there will be reruns, but we don't know how often.
There are basically two kinds of jumps if you exclude speed boosts. The hard part is judging which of the two you need to reach the next platform to not under or overshoot.

uh oh
||welp the village is š ±ļølown up||
ah this is the ||betrayal part isnt it||
<@&1128722919405650000> pspspspspspspspsps
Gimme 2 mins

I like this one a lot, it's real weird
Oh right, @rough crescent
In case they are back
oo ye!
you gonna try the Fall Guys collab, Gen?
Not today, I have to finish to set up a D&D session for tomorrow and I'm a bit tight on time
Probably on the weekend

I'm on
"I hate everything about this."
Ah Iāll only be home tomorrow, but thank you for the ping
Iād love to join for the third one if you happen to do that on Thursday
Think itāll be too late tomorrow
If you miss it we'll definitely do something similar for Eden and ShB trials
Which are also pretty fun
i can "postpone" the finale til thursday, that would be no issue
waves at the laundry list of tasks plenty to do
.... wait lauNDRY thats right i forgot i have some to hang

okay ill do that after we done with this fight
because surely aaaaaaany minute now
I even queued as healer hoping it'd speed it up
As you might have noticed, this raid is very normal

||Huge sword lady made of android corpses||
I hate those raids
In the plane bits, if you angle the line stack aoe with another raid, you kill them, and sometimes people play PVP there
Since it's essentially a race at who kill his plane first, (we won)
Hell yeah we did
we were the best team
especially that part where most of the other alliances died
there were planes?
i only remember screaming and fire and chaos
the boss in which we were divided in 3 groups
the part where we had to take on the- that
ask me when i do this raid six more times maybe ill notice then
