I'm getting scattered reports of people still thinking ffgoons.com is still broken. It has not been broken since before 10 AM EST. If it still looks broken, tell your browser to shut the gently caress up and stop caching stupid poo poo by holding shift while clicking reload.

That's the problem with queuing as a tank instead of dps for me, I can't guarantee enough dps to skip bullshit mechanics and have a fast run.

That's why you go full Strength Warrior and dominate the meters yourself.

I do wear full strength right side. Pretty sure it's still not going to do 550+ dps.

Did you ever play any of the translated Dragon Quests? It's a squeenix thing, not aping GoT. Olde English existed long before GRUM put pen to paper.

The old DQ games using the occasional Thee or Thou, or even the more recent ones like DQ4's lovely attempt at typing out accents, isn't even close to FF14's writing style. A style that just happens to heavily mirror GURM's writing for ASOIAF.

Ugh, I hate my first post in this thread to be so nooby, but which server should I pick if Excaliber is closed? It seems like all of the Goon clans are there, based on the OP, so I haven't the slightest which one I should pick!

So I started up a trial and created a character. I gained control of my character to get my first quest and was immediately messaged by someone selling whatever currency is used in this game. Just how bad are the RMT spammers in this game?
Depending where you're standing and the time of day you could get a few spams per hour. But if you're not expecting a message from a friend or putting together a party manually with people outside your FC/linkshells you may as well just route Tell to another log window anyway. You can also turn the Tell noise off or change it.

Yeah do what he said, don't rely on the announcements, just try making one in the dead of night and have an appearance data saved to make it easier. We can't tell you exactly when because it just needs to be when enough people are logged off and that could change, but since it's midweek, late (early?) tonight is an excellent chance.

If that fails just try it a little later. If you don't have any luck tonight try again tomorrow. In the meantime the OP does list the other goon groups just below the Excal stuff, but if you're US you really ought to try for Excal while you don't have much to lose.

Look at the scripts to the FFT relocalization, or FF12, or FFTA2. It was an Alex O. Smith thing that became a Squenix thing.

The old timey writing in this game is really bad and annoying, but the localization is good otherwise so i guess it evens out.

Quick Warrior question: what should my fifth cross-class skill be? I've got Flash, Convalescence, Awareness, and Provoke so far. Second Wind seems kinda bad (only pulling about 1k with Berserk up), and I'm told Featherfoot doesn't work on a lot of Coil stuff. Does it work for regular dungeons, or should I just run with Internal Release instead?

Inner Release is good, especially when you're AOEing. When you're full infuriated that's an extra 20% chance to crit, combine it with Berserk and you can get some insane Inner Beast numbers. There's also Mantra which is not insignficant, especially if you don't have a monk in your group or you can coordinate usage with your monk (because your lesser version will overwrite the monk's).

It's a real concern for young farts too. High resolution computer monitors make the text super-tiny at full quality, and for some reason text bubbles are the only thing that isn't scaled larger by the user interface size option.

Oh man. You should really hurry along that ARM 50. It will make 3 stars so much easier for you.

I don't even know why you're doing them without ARM 50 yet. I'm sure there's reasons, but you're really just tormenting yourself.

Oh right, what is the preferred order for trade skills again to get all the good abilities? I remember someone posted all that but it's not in the OP and I stupidly didn't save it.

Or just a list of the must have abilities and I can fill in the blanks.
