I wonder how many people we can put together with this
Let's all go do maps or some shit 
Or extremes with Australian ping
Nice
.....
let's all go to australia, m8
dont worry i have plenty to harass u with even if it isnt lyse stuff
like your WOL bein a hyur. smh my head. you couldve at the very least gone with "boring but long eared" but no, you decided just "boring" was the way to go. get some fantasia dang
au ra supermacy
Why you so racist 
Racism is fun!
. addq-
do it
I'm so hype for DC travel!!
been thinking about that all day
It happening, even if in limited capacity, within the month was such a great surprise
yeah, we need to organize a big Manechat Cross Server Party
"guys i promise i know we're supposed to be responsible mods but this everyone ping is justified in this case-"

i love encouraging bad ideas

hey, gotta listen to A Long Fall in the best quality possible
so durin weekends i play pokemon scarlet my sister lends me, both because i finally caved to her insistence n promised her a playthrough and also because honestly its pretty fun game (n contrary to my expectations isnt even all that buggy - except that one time where my picnic table got eaten by the void and tryin to make a sandwich also made it fall into void but that was more hilarious than anything). EITHER WAY not the point. yesterday i was doin the team star poison base and i had my pawmot sent against the revavroom. got hit, oh well- n then the message popped up
||"Nanamo was poisoned!"||
cue me regrettin my nicknamin life choices

Spoiler tag for that
Also goddamn hilarious

oh, fair 
Can you poison Lyse next?
ah the eternal struggle of where to smash or pa-
i mean, roll or keep the board
I could get a diagonal if I get the upper left and if I got the line on the bottom right, that'd b e rad, but it's a lot of chance
shoulda kept it, gdi
and I'm out of reroll points too 
Royal Seneschal: 'Tis a pleasure as always, Harqujin. I see ours is not the only celebration which can boast of your selfless assistance.
literally who the fuck are you
ah shit sorry guys i gotta kill god rq (post-EW raid spoilers)
you know it's amazing what you can get me to do if you dangle a mount in front of me as a reward
like suuuure, I already have enough mounts but what's a few dozen more, riiiight?
also i love the stealth marketing for emotes here
i like that ive seen ppl join in
ayyy, my WAR is now ILVL 651
i spent like
all my comedy tomestones on that
for like
3 ilvl
AND i have to remeld
oh my god i'm a fucking idiot I HAVE THOSE DEMICLUSTERS I CAN TRADE FOR MATERIA
hc you don't even play endgame content why do you need to meld
I HAVE OVER 2K CRIT NOW
now i look extra tryhard, lmao
... Of course this is the trial i get after picking up MHW
oooo have fun
i got holminster switch in levelin just now which is always an absolutely delightful time
fuckin insatiable n whatever the dungeon mix of it is called is such a peak banger
mch is such a fun class to play, honestly all phys ranged are
not that they can trumph mnk of course but theyre def my second favorites

cancels quest
i would do it as a joke but the aetheryte teleport fees for this are a bitch
you get a q u e s t l i n e for completin all tribes in arr?!
i got no such thingy for shb!
... if i want an emote i have to do ALL of them?
oh this is (almost) perfect timin to finally get this done, considerin EW
fuck
tribe stuff is fun!
i only did all arr n all shb so far (missin ||1 tier of vath, 4 moogles, 1 kojin and 2 namazu||) but im absolutely aimin for completin all of them
i just think that coeurlfist is neater...
woe, more titles be upon ye
147
i swear its like my second favorite thing to do after custom deliveries

SHB is the only expansion that doesn't have that
i want that fucking umbrella
time too do swallows compass for the 50th time to get Both Ends from that DAMN MONKE
ghhh fine ill do it first thing after work tomorrooooow
god i hate goldor
i only have some kinda checkered one, i think its from bozja? i shouldve grinded up tomes from that 10 year anniversary event n get the fat cat brella, but like a fool i didnt want an umbrella at the time
theres a lil dance n everything! why are u like this bringi!
used to wonder what that is.
Every expansion has one, except ShB
rate my new MCH drip
you don't like my heels?
no my ankles break just lookin at them
they look like the platform version of those samurai woodblock shoes
it could be worse
ok i found some boots that have sane heels
HELL YEEEEEEEEEE
like i feel there could be a better comprimise on the boots between "fancy" and "covering my legs" but ehhhh
on me for using short pants
I really like the small pistol with the elegant clothes
Works really well as an ensemble
Finished the other game I was playing.. since i'm likely going to be moving to a different country (USA) might as well finish EW
renews sub
All the story is out so if you get caught up you are ready for DT

i dunno why there aren't more "small" guns
That's how I understood it! Otherwise, I have some CRPG or Persona 5 to play and I think I should do EW before losing 100 hours to either of those
Ah, I missed this!
This, not so much
fake, not 2000 people in line

decline
Apparently I am surrounded by a possee as soon as I log in
stalking noises

you do?
I'm pretty sure in FF14 1.0, one of the first quests you did was a rampaging goobbue in Ul'dah
Or a cutscene at the start, actually
This was my original character for the FFXIV 1.0 launch, in Ul'dah. All cutscenes are shown through the first introductory quest.
stalking intensifies
the og face reveal (arr tribe stuff)
before they made it cool in shb and ||dwarves||
man i love instant death mechanics
dude why the hecc ||are ya all nakey||
arent antagonists supposed to b intimidatin
fuck you shikiogami of the undertow i want to fucking turn you into a milkshake
oh my gaaaaawd he´s ||beta zenos||

yoo thats a cool twist tho. definitely obvious if ur payin attention ||(darlin ur main colorscheme was green n u picked sylvie as pseudonym.....)|| but also sneaky enough to go "oooooh"
bringiiiiiii what happened to msqqqqqq
Bringy can’t come to the phone right now
I been tormenting them with beige cashier work
they did a lil pose n everythin-
tribes
Bringy why you scamming people?

well the ||pseudo-zenos fled, which makes me wonder if he's a recurrin "finish all tribes" questline antagonist? it'd also make sense why shb was left out since the dude cant travel to the first||


hmm, that mask i got aint rlly my style, but i guess i could stash it for later if i decide i need somethin edgy for black mage
Where is your theatre kid hat?
that was on bard
it no longer is my bard hat
lmao
havent gotten ||byakko|| roulette in ages
now then its high time i get back to...
role quests that's right

||dangit echo||
If the outage was on the whole server, that's probably the queue of people trying to log back in
oooh
🅱️roke, that's fair
its honestly kinda surprisin to me the game doesnt crash more often 
I think after EW they super upgraded the servers
and that's why they had to close the gates during launch
(and IIRC Chaos is a new branch of the EU servers, so maybe there was a teething issue)
or at least, new-er than Light, I forget if it was there from when I started
I know I was in Twintania before server transferring to Zodiark because that's where my friend played and idk we were too lazy to do cross world parties?
there's been a lot of server issues recently though
this happens every few days at the moment
once a week at least
the existing data center was split up, it was big drama at the time
Ohhhh. 
I should buy a boat try sage... (I think i have it unlocked)
NSFB ||about to queue for Mount Ordeals....||
Want me to join to speed it up?
Sure, I just gotta revive from dying to this s rank hunt 
Logging in now
lol
I have them on my friendlist too. I have no idea who this is
I'm on
I was gonna say I don't see you on but I assume that means different world? I'm on zodiark

Tank would have been faster but I'm a bit behind with my tank gear
And this is a relatively recent trial
S'all good
fun fact about (nsfb)||Mount Ordeals the music was composed by Hyadain in part||
if you listen to his version of ||Battle Against the Four Fiends and the FFXIV version (or at least Rubicante's version) you can tell the intro's sound very similar
||
this is probably also why you ||fight the turtle and the earth guy as dungeon bosses and rubicante and naked wind woman as Trials, even if the order of each singer isn't quite there, since you go Earth > Wind > Water > Fire but the song goes Earth > Water > Wind > Fire
but you know if you think about how they're paired, it might be another intentional reference to that song||
i'm a fuckin' nerd
anyway time to listen to the (6.5)||Zeromus|| theme for the next hour
I've been playing too much helldivers, my instinct was to press alt and dive on the ground as soon as I start moving around
It's all setup
NSFb ||Not even setup for 7.0, it's fucking setup for the expansion after I feel||
like if I didn't have an absolute obsession with Seat of Sacrifice I'm pretty sure either (6.5) ||Zodiark or Zeromus|| would be my favourite trial theme
I feel like some of these are nsf me as well 
yes, that's why i'm marking 6.5
though ||if you played FFIV you probably know where it's going||
that's not even a spoiler, that's just Squenix being hard for ||FFIV||
Ok listen I'm annoyed, I'm gonna switch to tank and requeue
it's like they ran out of original lore and were like "shit, uhhhhh ||four fiends and golbez sure"||
This should be faster
Fuck 20k HP difference between the other tank, I need to get that gear score up
wait you can actually get the Krile outfit?
Apparently, this was a random player
Yeah it's a cash shop item, like most scion outfits
CRINGE.
me having bought the Edda outfit

and Gaia's Hammer... and the Songbird outfit... and the Street Clothes...
me and wise purchasing choices are oxymorons
...I should unlock scholar.
Yo have to level up arcanist to do that
Arcanist has two jobs attached to it
It's the only one in the game
The upside is if you level one, you level the other
What's the other, summoner?

nsfb ||man, the 13th looks like shit. ||
it's not just odd, it's pretty awful
resurrect is the only spell scholar keeps from arcanist
you just get an entirely new job at 30
this was... jarring as a sprout, to put it mildly
6.4 is excellent
That's what I'm on?
I believe since I just got a title, the thing we did was the last part of 6.3?

||Zero 'miring Estinien...||
The eye dropping

It's so fucking funny
Eye dropping, zoom in, pause... and the comment
And ||Varshan immediately "no no" ||
More than that, his ||disapproving glare towards Estinien....
||
Scholar can be a tough healer, Summoner used to be like Warlocks from WoW, now they’re the super easy class with 5 buttons.
what did you think of the ||surprise landsharks||
I do not miss summoners being a pet class, i like them way more now 
the pally lv.90 skills are so funny
summons sword
summons swords
summons bigger swords
summons BEEG swords

i rlly dig the extra whm dialogue choices in this tank questline 
nsfb: ||"If you give us encouragement... we can do it in two!" WOL: head turning noises as everyone stares at them.
||
People who don't know better, clearly
hey, i get dps commendations!
generally i chalk those to my impeccable portrait skills tho
what do you think?
HELL YEEEEE TREEEEEE
i like the socks and boots too
why am i gettin feelsy for a treeeeeeeee
(its the music, the pavlov reaction is complete)
It’s a tree
||A tree thats a house for asshole elementals||
nsfb: Ah, time for ||voidcast dais||
Want to invite?
Sure 
I'm already on
nsfb Oh snap, ||Estinien and Zero training arc?||
"yea can i kill Zurvan again rq Khlole wants me to kill him for her scrapbook"
"five mins, in and out, i'll even make sure to turn off the EX Machine on my way out"
"oh yeah can one of you piss off the ixali, i need to punch Garuda too. Khole is ruthless this week.
"
"wol why the fuck are you doing this"
"GLAM IS ENDGAME"
i got distracted from actually playin by glam again. wonderin if i still like the body gear on my rdm
msq when
when i finish role quests
2 out of 5?
Meanwhile, me: same glam for years and i don't bother with role quests 
I really really like the ||Ishgard|| one and it's in general satisfying to see all of these loose threads get tied.
one level of rdm n one questline for brd
why did they have to ||set the blasphemy fight in the vault....||


adventure with hien :3
ranged dps
Makes sense, healer is ||Ala Migho if I'm not mistaken||
mhmm
Ranged DPS is still pretty good
I didn't like the ||Gridania and the Limsa ones much, the others I liked a lot||
aw, i thought ||the three city states (we'll bundle ala mhigo into uldah here) were neat. didnt care much for ishgard. for me so far its ala mhigo - gridania - limsa - ishgard||
it is nice to have it, ye
Ishgard stopped being a ||theocracy and went a lot of major changes through the story, I kinda wanted a narrative tie in that addressed that||
Because that doesn't happen without some in the population feeling lost and left behind
And it was really well done
the Ranged DPS one also occupies a similar place for me, but I wont elaborate to avoid spoilers
shrug i guess as per usual for me it comes down to how much i cared previously. and hw is hw
its not bad by any means n i agree with ya that it fills nicely a narrative hole of sorts
just i didn't enjoy it quite as much as others
Good thing I don't have that problem, because they definitely managed to make me care about anything Ahla migho related only far after the fact
Like, I needed to play the post patch, sit on it, analyse it, and replay SB to actually appreciate the stuff that was done and look past the flaws.
(And the tribe quests to be fair, were pretty neat, so that helped along)
You are never getting a house tour now
My house is in ishgard just saying
i got to lv 88 quest, sleep time is nigh so i guess ill wrap up tomorrow
"Moshi moshi?"
Today is the day! 🥳
The Xbox Series X|S version of #FFXIV is now LIVE! 🙌
Once again, a very warm welcome to Eorzea, @Xbox! 💚
Details ➡️ https://sqex.to/EAjdz

AUGMENTED PIZZA CUTTER
without having to do Savages 
oh... it looks the exact same 
at least i can dye it!
glorious red pizza cutter <3
man, why do the level 70 fists look so much better, lmao
healer and other DPS decided "nah"

i do not know how to play MNK
nsfb time for ||abyssal fracture|| 
if i didn't just queue into the last EW alliance raid I'd join you
I NEED MY THALIA COIN
pls send halp
I am not at home yet, good luck
One shot it 👊 nsfb ||Also, Durante... what are you doing there?!||
NSFB Yoooo ||zero going super saiyan and.... now a paladin?||
OW THE EDGE
okay look the Avatar's Scythe was already a stand out for me so a dyable version is just 
also higher ilvl, ig
nsfb ||
||
BTW I have a theory (NSFb)
I think that the ||original Golbez was an Azem shard, and maybe Durante is part of the same soul that was Zenos||
Pretty confident about the first part
The 2nd part it's more because ||he looks like Zenos and were good friends with Golbez, it would be kind of fun if that was the case||
The first part is because during the ||dungeon you play his part, as if you are him, as if the memory recognise you as Golbez||

Like, that relationship is exactly ||as if the WoL grew up with Zenos, and ended up being his moral compass; also makes a whole lot of sense that he went down the wrong path only after Golbez died. ||

NSFB - WOL: ||free food, or deliver an important item to the first? FOOD, OBVIOUSLY||
nsfb ||WOL going to Ireland?
||
ala mhigo 🤝 doma
||holding a public mourning event||
nsfb : || lion lady!!||
i really want failnaught anemos for the "hehee claude fire emblem" cosplay n i keep mentally bappin myself because "bringi you already took plenty of dillydallyin time with one eureka relic, you gotta wait til u at least catch up with msq or others are gonna chew you up" 
so gen when u feel like doin anemos stuff feel free to ping me yaknow
(final ranged dps EW role quest) godsdammit ||divination granny||

oh wow i did not expect this job change (still brd stuff)
are you up to the blasphemy?
ya
so you know what music plays?
uh. DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUDUDUN
i mean its neat but how would i know or remember the song names 
unless i spent some time specifically searchin it up which. im not gonna do for ew yet lol
oh i thought a song that you already knew played, nvm
man i havent played brd in a while n it shows, cant believe i let my DoTs drop multiple times 
i mean, yeah? for first half of the fight the dun dun dun dududun EW song plays, i heard it before but idk the name. for second half, the sb dungeon boss theme plays, which i knew the name of before but forgot
oh, here it is
well maybe not violent or sobbing, but it is a little sad that some soft piano backdrop and dialogue about compassion for people who resented you just immediately makes me tear up
like dang it rlly is that easy, huh
THERE we go, Triumph!
is, that the sb or ew one
that was so hype when it started poaying and then i died and i had to do the first part again
SB
f
ooh
ye its nice. ive had a lot of sb stuff in duty roulettes recently tho so it wasnt that big of a wowza for me 
"good song, now lemme focus on the- FUCK MY DOTS DROPPED AGAIN"
thats all role quests done lets gooo
i. really feel like ur undersellin the situation here
||"oh you know, i kinda killed one of the forces responsible for world balance, thus dooming us all n its only a matter of time until the worlds die, plural bc yeah sorry ur all be dead soon. yeah, everyone not on the source. yeah its unfair. how come the source ppl aint dying? i mean they very much are, its like a whole thing, but some ppl might get saved by our moon. yeah. yeah you heard me right. yeah, moon as in the thingy orbittin our star. its piloted by teeny kinda-viera btw. no, im not joking. no, i did not hit my head recently."||
but sure WOL, "well enough" covers that i guess
I read it as ||"it's not like they can help anyway, and you are working on it"||
petglam when, squeenix
||ryne|| HIIIII
... oh. hmm. ive been so focused on speedrunning the jobs i had close to 90, that now i have no job on lv 86, n as such id be wastin the good good msq xp. i guess im off to do some nin roulette for that half level
i fuckin suck at ninja tho auuugh

<@&1128722919405650000> @minor sorrel do any of u want to hop on some quick roulette or two so i can get that half nin level done n continue msq
i rlly dont wanna waste the free xp
Yes I was already logging in, because I am motivated by making you continue MSQ
yay :> shorter queues go wheee
gimme a minute tho, the client seems to be fighting me for whatever reason
there was some update today, may be that
Yeah t was that
Sadly I am starting a zoom class in a few minutes
f, good luck learnin
Acting class
and i'm being made redundant for my normal (call center drone) job in 2 months soooo career switch, hooo
Man today I fuck up all sort of things, good thing it didn't lock me out after mistyping the one time passwrd twice
I'll pass for today, have fun tho
my seratonin levels are currently focused on Vampire Survivors

NSFb ||me trying to act normal as bringi is about to go to Elpis
||
that. explains why ||my mnk retainer has been bringin me egg of elpis from ventures for the last two expansions ||
........ how ||exactly are we gettin there tho?||
isnt. isnt ||the star as they know it gone?||

.... ...................... oh good lord ||there will be fuckin time travel. im right arent i. i wouldnt say this if i didnt know they didnt pull that back in alexander||
i dont know how to feel about this

....... yeah. ||okay. time travel shenanigans||

wouldve been cooler if i got that earlier than few lines prior but oh well
It's a very insane narrative choice
i am goin to steadily ignore. all of that ||referrin to bullshit time travel comes with||
After you are a bit in there, it will be interesting to talk about how EW uses it, to what end specifically
Because it is pretty unique
devs, desperately: player. player dont worry, no paradoxes okay? no paradoxes, we pinky swear
..... then again,|| lowkey worried the WOL will go "dont tell me what i can do! watch this: poofs out of existence sacrifically"||
well ||if the wol stops the future from happening and then they disappear, doesn't that mean they were never sent to the past in the first place, meaning the events of the past went the way they originally did, so that means the WoL happens-||

bang bang bang do not go that way
it is only suffering
can i please talk about this with my friends first, perhaps-
k i guess not
||ok so i'm going back really far to see why we're all dying from the apocolypse dw elidibus says it's totes safe||
oh cool ||elidibus swapped for narration||
||Elidibus: You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present. Cannot unmakethe sorrow and suffering fated to come||
||My mind at the time: So I will be forced to watch as these people march unwittingly to their doom, and I'll be unable to do anything helpful for them...sounds like a good saturday night in FFXIV||
can we pretend that airplanes are like shooting stars 🎶
wheeeee
moooooom my hair is doin the thing agaaaain
👻
this is what i get for bein the "of course you have white hair n trauma" character

.... do you think ||azem will be able to see us? since im dense azem shard (n also have ardbert so we´re like, shard n a half)?||

Good question, that's probably the case judging by past mechanics
||XEHANORT KINGDOM HEARTS????||

that was so totally on purpose wasnt it
well i can tell ||emet-selchnort, but idk what the purple hair voice is, bad at recognition
is it elidibus?||
You heard that voice exactly once, before the ||Zodiark fight||
:?
"just in case ur also bad with voice recognition, have a snap"
oh good lord im TALL
noooooo my headcannon
back into paradox then whooo
oh, ||hythobuddy!||
||emet-selch-xehanort is so fuckin funny tho i am in hysterics||
... hmmm ||squint the fact that still yet i have one more map for aether currents....||

I just love ||how close they obviously are||
One thing is ||being told they are good friends, another is seeing the relentless Hythodeus sass machine at work||
well, if the ||ancients didnt have furries clearly it wasnt that progressive a society||

...sorry game, that goes right into my wardrobe never to be seen again
hehee
should wear it while you are here tho, for lore purposes
I definitely glammed my top for immersion
meh
I always do, ||glammed the heavy coat ghey give you for the Garlemald campaign too||
i enjoy ||emetnort's suffering
yesss hythobuddy annoy him into the oblivion||
i find it fun that ||emetnort is this dry no nonsense guy only for the doom n gloom of losin ur entire world to drive him into exact opposite corner. theater kid beta if you will. the dramaqueen||
he rlly said "the ||end of the world|| fuckin sucked n if im to live in eternal torment i may as well have fun with it"
👀
ngl i understand the ppls inclination for alts more now
must be fun goin thru it again with previous knowledge
Ugh i wanna play ffxiv so bad
no, babysit the kids
But i got a school shift then a beige work shift
Bringy, i lost 6 kids today
Thats a new record
scroll up silly
WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME
nsfb ||i wanna see Bringi's reaction to the asshole that made the Behemoth||
for your convenience, start here gums
Oh also what song?
the um. the dundundun is like, ew fight theme? i dont know names
i dunno
Cause i can probably find it fast
Likely you mean on blade’s edge

i even timestmped the dun dun dun
ahhh, EW dungeon boss
o!
i mean from where you timestamped you can sorta hear the Footfalls leimotif
I think
Yeah, actually that's the start of Footfalls, i sang along with the tune and it matches up 
and when the chorus kic ks in it's the end bit starting from EVERY STEEEEEEP WE TAAAAAAAAKE
mind u i did not listen to footfalls religiously yet so i cant like, recall the song much even

its been like three times
aside from ||O HIGHER O HIIIGHEEER||
Ah finality
must be fun for others. ||"you are so fuckin tiny
"||
I knew you would like endwalker
Now, brings
I want you to be nice to ||Emet-Selch||, okay?

The banter between ||Emet and Hythlo when he adjust your size as a Lalafell is like, 11/10||
show show show

wheeeeze

||Dick size jokes weren't on my bingo card for MSQ||
||"what are you good at" new custom deliveries WHEN||
i am dyin over here
||levellin crafters with ehll tou n charlemend is painfully slow given its way beloooooow n also on weekly basis||
"bringi just do grand company stuff" you are correct but also i didnt have maps unlocked n buyin materials from marketboard got pricy. though, now that im further along msq, perhaps thats viable to consider again
oooo some side quests opened. thats my cue to stop for today
(well that but mostly its late)
You are doing lvl 87 quests at this point, you aren't that far from finishing the game, after crafting will be a lot easier
If nothing else because there is a crafting tribe
i love that everyone (but mostly you) keeps usin post ew activities to push me into finishin msq
"theres this 'variant dungeon' thingies you'll love! and animal crossing island! and new tribes! and custom deliveries! pspspspsp for the love of hydaelyn bringi just move forward n dont u dare pick up new jobs or slip into eureka-"

"okay fine you can do side quests along the way, i guess"
(i just think doin the side quests as they open is best time for them, they tell u about the customs n locations n ppl of that place)
You only get mildly sidetracked now!
(and also i hate map icon clutter)
Oh yeah, I kind of agree that doing them right away is ideal
it also lets me fly as soon as im able, since a lotta of times quest objectives end up near aether currents
n flyin is big help
hey at least you won't end up like me, having to go back after the fact for like an hour
I do at least the aethercurrent quests right away, and sometimes the secondary quests depending how much I'm digging an area and how much I want to push forward with the MSQ
right i should probably do some FATEs there because there's some materials i wanted from theeeere
oh right, we could hang n do those sometime
Grinding fates is kind of a souless task
which is why hc sillyness makes it more bearable
think of the banter
oooh maybe i could annoy gummy into australian fates
Never
NSFB: ||I assume meeting lion lady means i'm in 6.5 content||
Yeah

You are officially almost there
||she seems like a blast||
||She is excellent, I especially love the dynamic she has with Erenville||
Also that means ||We'll get to spend more time with Erenville, which is a massive bonus for DT||
We already knew that from the trailer, but still
Yep!!
"Meanwhile, in Limsa Lominsa"

Oh hey, that's msq caught up with

Think i might do a quick duty roulette on RPR (85), anyone want in?
I guess not >.>
Let's see what I get...
A dancer
I was cleaning my windows, apolgies
(yes I often clean my house at 1 am)
your neighbours: 🗿
I don't have anyone under me, I have some above me but I don't do enough noise to get to them
haha fair

Doggo
bunnis!

#FF14 #FFXIV
FUCK
at least we have a date?
Fuck...
i don't need it, i don't need it..
I am kinda of a FF9 major fan and this will be hard to not buy
Also more indication that ||FF9 seems to be the game they are taking inspiration from for DT||
well it'll only be like
15 bucks extra
i could probably afford that if Jobseeker's gets back to me
I already have theories
phew
i may b able to catch up to msq afterall
Yeah it should be doable
Well technically if you focused on it, you could probably get to the end in a couple of weeks, so I think we were past the risk of not making it already
what is this "focus" thing you speak of
I think you would have to play the new expact with everyone, besides focusing on the MSQ doesn't mean you can't do the secondary stuff once you are caught up
Like, there isn't another expansion you have to go in until DT comes out this time
Doing the other stuff just becomes the game once you finish MSQ
That said ||Elpis|| will take some time, there are SO MANY secondary quests in that zone
time to smash my brain against Grand Cosmos for the fucking DoT again
yeah that tracks
Not that there's too much overlap except that they're both MMOs, but next WOW expac is also expected to be august. Will be an interesting few months 
Sweet jesus that ROCKS
I never thought we'd see it in the game, but its even more beautiful than i ever expected
Apparently it's 2nd of July for normal launch with a few days of early access
I think it's 28 June for early access
Early access is for preorders if I am not mistaken
it is
So basically everyone has gonna have it, basically the actual launch is june 28
yea
you can just call that the actual release date
nobody will care about the 2nd of july
This is what they give you for preordering
The fun thing about preorders, is that you recieve this when you preorder, not when the expansion release, and the earrings are usually a pretty substantial exp boost for leveling classes
If you have to do that
Also they look really nice
ye, the earrings give a big boost until the current expacs level cap and have good stats, they're real nice
in other words i'm prob gonna get it p soon
I don't need to level up stuff so I'm in no rush but like, I'm gonna buy the expansion anyway, so might as well preorder and play a few days earlier
i think this is the first time i haven't been level capped on everything by the new expac preorder tbf
This is the previous expansion one, as you see the bonus is chunky
they're also unique models that look p nice normally
Never miss a chance to sass, full stop
.8% away from nice
based
also what is that glam set
ah, my nin is kinda a hodgepodge of stuff (like most of my glams lmao, i dont think theres a single glam i have thats just a full set)
head - ruby cotton bandana https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/687861e2cc5/
body - brightlinen gambison (aka cant believe shb alphinaud stole my drip) https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/8d8f188981e/
hand - true griffin bracers https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/600367a5700/
pants - sb ninja gear https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/20860631c0c/
feet - also sb ninja https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/1616b1a7632/
i guess the full brightlinen set isnt too terrible https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearset/brightlinen-scouting, but i wanted a bandana for them yarr rogue vibes and the pants n shoes are kinda boring to me
Why would they test this at the start of a week?
ah, figured as much
Going to Australia!
Do the msq
Also now I know how i got through the side quests fast
I never read what to do
i did all side quests currently available ||in elpis|| so um, thats somethin?
there will be more
Hey, does anyone have a list of all the poetics items for HW relics?
Yes
I've been sitting at 2000 tomes forever and feel like grinding out some manderville weapons, but might as well dump my poetics into something
1 sec let me go to the wiki
okays
It's been so long I can't remember all the steps, plus I dunno what all has been changed/adjusted over the years
If you need a quick sink without thinking about much about it
yeah I don't have any plans yet
Just nice to be able to "ohey i have 80% of the relic i randomly want already started"
This is what i go for usually
oh yeah I think I might have a bunchg already lol
Here there is all the steps https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Anima_Weapons
I usually go for that one because it's 6k poetics per weapon
So you don't run out fast
Ah right, Umbrite is a thing too
I had to buy gear for my WHM. Was i604 and expert DR is i620. I clearly have not played a lot in the last 18-24 months
Right now the last alliance raid is without restrictions which is nice too
650 ilvl gear easy to grab
Still haven't done the last raid yet. Been waiting for a good opprtunity to sit down do it with Denzy. Life do be that way
I just bought a few pieces off the MB for now
everything will break
oh, it will be awful for EU
We used to play on Tonberry, a JP server and we are in the middle of the US
As long as it's not disastrous it'll be fine
Ping was 200-300ms and you literally could not double weave
But this was also like 10 years ago
I'm not looking to do Savage after all
It was 100% fine for dungeons and most EX trials
Savage raiding was a challenge. Doable, but a challenge
Just be ready for random bullshit involving weaving and clipping
i play war so
idek axe goes BRRRRRRRRRRRR
especially now that i have the augmented pizza slicer 
yeah WAR doesn't have too much to worry about with double weaving lol
Let's see if I remember how to play WHM
They also shorten the cast timers of most Healer skills so weaving is pretty chill on healers too
Not double but you don't really need it on healers
I use double weaving on sch a lot

Anyone tested dc travel to Oceania?
I won't be home for a couple of hours yet
o
Nice
Basically we need to create a character there
For it to work
Sounds simple enough
nah, just click the desired data center in the data center menu
no need to make new character
Oh, ok makes sense
took about twenty seconds to move, nice
Basically you need the dc to create a profile for you
ya
Which world we want to elect as our down under hanging spot?
oooh, you get a <<voyager>> tag instead of traveler
lets other players know your ping is trash i guess lol
Im debating on getting the collectors box of Dawntrail
im currently on sophia, we, may as well be here?
since it doesnt matter
Not sure if i can visit today
i cant believe u chose taxes over anime video game
I got a tax thing to deal with, then beat 6.5 with my Icelandic sis, then gotta go pick up the irl bestie
everyone laugh at gummy for bein responsible adult
i can only assume 6.5 must be good
6.5 part 1 will just finish the story from 6.1
That i been working on since last week
Sophia works
australia m8


Is that a meme?!
here in ff14 thread it is a desolate land
i still think my alphi katana edit was funny
there i made myself emotes, this is better
no :3
Whats the harm in that?
okay now that i beat up another elder dragon i could be possibiibly up to go to fantasy australia
thr question is, does anyone outside our usual three have time at all?
gummy is busy with taxes of all things

cause if not we can just like. hang in regular borin europe with ping six times smaller 
Shit, the weekly reset's tomorrow as well land I could just do dailies that I've been slacking on because gestures vaguely at MHW, Skul and other such stuff
i have transcended the need to grind, even
"hmm, which flavor of Trauma should i share?" 
strawberry, chocolate, banana, or yes
we interrupt the Sad Ecologist hours for: A C A T ? ? ?
catto

back to side quests we g- OH NO
not you again!
..... what
what
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEEE
wwell dowont mwind ifw i dowo


i must say whoever is responsible for this particular side batch is absolutely slayin it
hewwo, t h e b e a v e r s and now this, absolute delight
@hasty kayak would it shock you
That is learnt after my meeting
I been doing my taxes wrong every year?
not in slightest
I lost $600 last year
Brings, i demand a new name
If we are to use australia as our porto franco, I might create an alt on the server and see if I can create a crossworld linkshell to invite people in.
I know you can't create CWLS in a DC that isn't yours but I think you can join them
||i wonder... if meteion (and her sisters) survived all this time by some chance (she is a being of dynamis created pre-sunderin, we already know she doesnt eat) (if she doesn't get un-created at some point), was she driven to madness by all the suffering in the world from final days? given she's like, an empath extraordinnaire?||
n ya know, ||all the pain that came afterwards?||
Good line of questioning
Oh btw brings, reminds me
Spoilers, Lyse is the main villain of Dawntrail, sorry spoilers 
also i must say ||hermes does not sound very in favor of zodiark. if he's unwilling to sacrifice animals, how the fuck would he be okay with half the population. but only azem was kicked out?||
@hasty kayak lemme know when you aren't in a cutscene that I want to test something
||HYDAELYN?? wait, no. the, well whoever hydaelyn of our present projected her image unto????||
oooooh ||venat||
i heard that before!
Do you recognise the voice?
so ||is that hydaelyn's heart to-be, then?||
bold of you to assume i recognize voices ever
It's so characteristic tho
There'll be drama
This is Questioning Beliefs quest in Act 3
This made my DA2 playthrough so much better NGL

yooooo thats so hype
i didnt play da2 in ages so thats probably why
i just forget voices immediately 90% of time
lol
+27 bringi like points for immediately sassin ||emetnort||
She is excellent
She and Emet-Selch are also best friends
OMG
bringy is ||venat|| and im ||emet-selch||
It all makes sense
do you suppose the ||white robe indicates either that she´s ex-convocation, or that she "refuses to return to the star"?||
Yes, you nailed that
so then.... ||elidibus .... ?||
I don't know if it's ever said explicitly, but ||white robes indicate advisory positions in high regards, so either Elidibus (which is still in the convocation) or those that left it but chose to remain||
no thoughts on ||Hythy's shark diatribe?||
Like, ||Elidibus as Emissary is the exception to the rule, that get to have a white robe despite being still in the convocation||
||he would be disappointed in all the shark scalies||
ooh i see
ow welp no chance that ||time travel|| butterfly isnt completely squashed by now
cant wait to see ||fourteen paradox versions of myself runnin around the galaxy||
I lost you as well
||venat no offense but i absolutely feel like if u knew "your world is about to explode" ur gonna do somethin about preventin it - n probably succeedin, at that||
oh good lord ||even emetnort||
the ||future|| is totally fucked, good goin WOL
shouldve hid behind a pillar n ||stayed a ghost, i swear||

To be fair, they told you twice ||"don't worry about paradoxes" so far, so chances are you don't have to worry about them||
It would be pretty funny if that was misdirection tho
||is that promise to me???||

anyway @plucky cairn cutscene over sorry about takin so long
its a lot n im kinda reelin over here
DID YOU ||GENDERBENT|| URSELF 
Made a lalafell to park forever
lalalalalalalaala
You should be able to invite my main now
if i figure out how to do that
Go to friend list and rightclick on my name
I'll try a dungeon but so far it doesn't seem that bad
oh hello ||piano version of answers||
im a sucker for piano covers aaaaaa
for the record ||this still feels like a bad idea but i guess we´ve been past the point of no return of bad ideas since the crystal braves||
i swear imma timeout u again
mod caboos! Mod caboos!
mmmmmm the sheer gravitas of this scene though
Lyse is awful!
Be nice to himm
...
probably not
but. well. perhaps. maybe. just slightly. have i overshunned him. perhaps. maybe.
oh aint that ||a million gil question||
we are turnin into a veretable poirot novel here. i admit i have like zero guesses where this is goin aside from. like. somethin crazy like ||fightin whatever stagnated the aether and caused the first final days, thus causin irreparable split into alternate reality?? in which case i fail to see how we get back to our friends but what do i know i can speak to crystals and have cat tail so anythin is possible||
oh i spoke two screens early again
||alt universe ahoy||, i guess
Interesting that you keep the voyager tag in dungeons as well, while you don't keep the traveler one.
I feel like you hit the nail on the head there
Wanderer
Traveler
Voyager
we go any further it'll be
"Eorzea Space Program"
well ||i am still missin that spaceship from main screen....||
..... WAIT ||is that not cid's or allagan, but ancients tech??||
are we visitin ||their moon too???||
I have some questions that popped into my head but I realised it'd be spoilers so I'll keep them for later
so.... ||but if you werent her heart, why would my hydaelyn choose to look like you?||

thats rough buddy

okay okay okay, @slim cairn i got it. from henceforth, ||emetnort n emet-drama queen are two different people in my brain. emetnort is friend i bully endearingly. drama queen is not||

Behold, two of the eldest and most powerful primals! 💥
You can pre-order your very own #FFXIV Meister Quality Figure – Hydaelyn & Zodiark today! ✨ https://sqex.to/6LwW6

i can feel my brain rebooting in real time
seriously? am i reachin here or is. but. blue bird?????
Speaking of ||blue birds|| I did get that minion I wanted to get finally HC, did a few runs the other day because I don't want to go into DT still without having it
lesgooooo
We can be ||starbird|| buddies!
It's a really good minion, I need to remember to let it loose on the island
yesss
and so i ||turned myself into a planet n became the crystal core, lol lmao even||
this is a nice chat
I love that conversation a lot
The music really makes it, also ||that question at the end||
IDK if I'm weird for that, but it makes me tear up
Yes
I don't know why that question hits like a fucking truck
perhaps because it ||comes from the same being who first sets u upon that journey?||
Maybe it's because you expect her ||to ask a self serving question about the coming crisis they are about to face, instead it's such a small caring thing.||
||fuckin story circlin back into itself, but you are not the same as you were||
it fills me with similar feeling as undertale's ||despite everything, it's still you||
||Venat immediatly became one of my favourite characters and that talk is a large portion as to why||
oh she got vibes absolutely
Also they interrupt ||you before you can answer and she goes "we were having a nice chat" and in my head I imagine my WOL sobbing on the ground and the lady that interrupted being extremely confused||
It helps that, the version of answers they put is exceptionally good
theyre all exceptional but i get what you mean
i think ill stop here today, because whew that was beefy
Yeah it's a lot
officially done 6.5 part 1
not gonna touch part 2 yet
still have raids and other things to do
I'm getting back into the island stuff, trying to finish it before DT since I suspect we'll see more content for it not far into the patch cycle
I should get my rpr to 90, but... fiancée just got forbidden west on her steam and i can play it via family share....

my new job itch has been pushin me towards black mage (because i like to get older jobs first? but with dragoon i wanted to try n hold off until its rework) but i have been so brave about only focusin on msq n its side quests
i havent even played roulette in, like, ages aside from that half-level with gen!
well okay i am keepin up with custom delivery and fashion report and cacpot weeklies
but those dont count
If you plan to level something, wait to grab the preorder for DT probably
oh, you get earrings immediately?
That 30% earrings are juicy




ya gotta, be a gamer
