The last boss fight owned, the post credits cutscene owned, Fel Cleave owns, this game owns. Question about the end of the credits did the Warrior of Darkness wear AF gear that matched your class too? Or is he in Warrior gear for everyone?

Whelp, here comes a long post about the story, having just finished it. Overall, I want to say this story was very well executed, it kept my attention the entire way, and I always wanted to know more. However I feel there was one major misstep. This was a story about sorrow and overcoming adversity in many ways, with sorrow compounded upon sorrow. The themes of building up the team and comradery between Alphianud, Ysayle, and Estinien was great and they formed an awesome team. A lot of really strong character moments and Alphinaud really steps in as the main npc protagonist. I liked that even at the end, I still felt there were secrets the dragons were keeping, even if largely they are 'in the right' so to speak. So many little story beats are great, and the heroic sacrifices of Hauteforchant and Ysayle are absolutely heartwrenching, as is losing Estinien in the end. This goes into my main problem, namely the fact that Nanamo is alive. It robs 2.55 of any dramatic potency, and it just feels like a cheap cop out. This whole plot did...what exactly? Kill off Teledji? The only sacrifice is Raubahn losing an arm at this point as we know the Scions are going to come back. Then to top off it off the with drama of losing characters we actually liked and spent so much time with, so it's essentially this cheap dumb character gets to live with the interesting ones are killed off. All I can feel is a smoldering anger at the lore team. As well even after seeing them die, there's now the issue of oh will who will they deus ex back to life again when it's convenient? Nanamo ruins what was otherwise an amazing story. As for blm in HW? After playing around Fire IV does at least feel suitably powerful. Having a 10 second greased lightning that takes a 2.5s cast to keep up? Not so much. The last two dungeons were insanely chaotic and trying to control the Fire and Enochian buffs was stressful. It might be something I can get used to but I can say as of right now it is not a very fun mechanic with how super tight the rotation is. Any movement is deadly. As I said the main thing is 'feel' and 'fun' and this is entirely subjective. The damage from what I've seen is very much there. As for the post credits scene it was a he and he was in war af despite me being a blm.

I'm thinking about trying this out again and have a question. If I delete my character on Excalibur, will I be able to make a new one without dealing with the 'no new chars can be created on the server' thing? VVV because it's like level 11 and I don't remember anything so would like to start from the beginning again. Also I made the short race and not really digging it. oh well.

It was a power play that made Lolorito the most powerful man in Ul'dah. Killing Nanamo would only benefit Teledji, as he was an heir to the Sultanate. Teledji co-owned the Brass Blades with Lolorito, so Lolorito now has full jurisdiction over Ul'dah's police force. Killing Nanamo would have destabilized his entire scheme and he's smart enough to know that he's more powerful WITH the Sultana alive. I'm not sure, but I think the Omega weapon is something he'd want as well, given his Garlean contacts.

What I hate is why go through all that drama for the player. Her 'death' plays similar to Hauteforchaunts int hat both spit up blood, in fact I'd say hers looked far more painful. Why do that when it's just a loving sleeping potion?!

They just wanted to end ARR in a bang without having anything too permanent, I suppose. The writers have a huge soft spot for Ul'dah's storyline, so I guess they were reluctant to actually kill her.

Since we were on UI chat last page, what do all you goons' HUDs look like? I just finished finalizing mine up:  I think it looks nice. e: if the sperg hits me, I might go and painstakingly truly align the minimap down the center since aligning it by grid puts it off-center for some reason.

To break up the entire page of nothing but spoiler text:Panic! at Nabisco posted:WHM with cards. It plays almost identically to WHM, except the heal numbers are smaller (almost too small, you need to heal a lot to keep up) and you get some crazy-go-nuts bonkers buffs to cast on people. Everything I've heard says it's pretty good in diurnal (WHM) stance and hot garbage in nocturnal (SCH) stance. DPS potential is lowest of all healers, but can buff party DPS waaaaay more, so it evens out. Nocturnal Sect isn't really hot garbage in and of itself, but it's more of a case that there's absolutely no reason to ever not be in a Sect: There's a very clearly defined general purpose Sect, which is Diurnal Sect. There are no downsides to being in Diurnal Sect. You get 5% attack speed (i.e. better DPS as well as better heals) and some of your skills give regens. Then later you get Nocturnal Sect, which has the peculiar downside of sacrificing Diurnal Sect to use. Instead of attack speed, it gives 5% healing power, and some skills give shields. Both of these are notably more niche than what Diurnal offers. This isn't something that's going to change, either, because they probably don't want you going into battle outside of a Sect, and just waiting until you need one or the other and activating it. That said, Nocturnal Sect does fill a few gaps that Diurnal Sect misses, and I think it performs its job admirably well. Where the AST's heal numbers may be small, Nocturnal Sect offers a lot of frontloaded eHP healing. Benefic casts exactly like Cure. Aspected Benefic is an instant cast skill with a small heal and applies the boon of your chosen Sect. The result is that if you weave [Nocturnal] Aspected Benefic immediately after Benefic, you land two heals within a .5s window of each other. Furthermore, part of that HP heal is a shield, which means it can be applied even if the target is at full health without losing its benefits. This isn't nearly as effective in Diurnal Sect because all you're doing is refreshing a buff the target already had, and diminishes its effect on a target at full HP, because that's lost healing they could have received but didn't. Either way, Diurnal Sect requires a lot less upkeep and is just as viable if not more, so hey whatever. a cat on an apple fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Jun 23, 2015 |

By the way while digging through the game files, I noticed that there's a "ffxiv.exe" file and a "ffxiv_dx11.exe". Is the dx11 version automatically loaded up if you have your graphics set up high enough or is there something different you have to do to use it?

Yes, it applies to any job lower than your highest level job that is also lower than 50. Any job lower than your highest level job that is 50-59 gets 50%.
