Lolorito was perfectly fine with Raubahn being executed and all that stuff, that's why he only switched out the poison and didn't do anything else. He had no intent of waking her either, he kept that as a card to play should Raubahn be rescued.

Nanamo actually being executed and driving an uprising in Uldah would have been a cool story arc. I could see from a practical perspective why they didn't do that though.

I liked how I called every part of Lolorito's plan. I didn't like how he just sort of walked up afterwards and said "This was my plan. We're cool now right?" and everybody just went with it. I'm looking forward to Grand Melee 2: Raubahn vs Lolorito though.

My favorite NPC is Sark Malark because I skipped most of the story and I think he and I did some terrorism and stole a tank or something.

I believe Lolorito was hoping the Warrior of Light was removed from the equation, and had to back pedal when he found not only that the WoL isn't dead, but is basically politically impervious due to fantastic PR. My impression of that whole shebang is that Teledji was an impulsive villain that ended up being a monkey wrench in Lolorito's slower, "Big Picture" type villainous plotting. He's probably just doing what he can to get back into his original position before acting any further.

COOL CORN posted:...well god drat it. General rule of thumb for solo duties: stand back a bit at first when enemies spawn, and see which enemies aggro onto you instead of either sitting around doing nothing or aggroing onto an NPC instead. Start with the ones that are pissed at you, then go help NPCs. There'll usually also be dialogue at the top of the screen to call out if there's some particular enemies the game wants you to pay attention to (e.g. healer enemies who need to die first, or enemies beating up on some squishy NPC you do actually need to protect). Exception when playing as a tank in class/job-specific duties, as those will sometimes have you (appropriately for your role) take care of more than just yourself. Similarly, when playing a healer in class/job-specific duties, you'll be expected not only to kill a few things but also to occasionally heal some of your helper NPCs. Story duties though, are designed for everyone, which is to say they're designed so a squishy DPS who can't heal anyone can handle them, so a tank or healer doesn't have to do anything extra there.

What makes you think Uldah would be any better as a republic? Presumably, right now, Uldah is kind of a parliamentary monarchy, with the Syndicate offering proposals to the Sultana to decide on, but the crown is so weak compared to the monetarists that she basically can't refuse anything. All that becoming a republic would do is take the crown out of the process entirely. And the reason nobody is doing anything against Lolorito is because they can't do anything. He has them all in check through one way or another.

It felt satisfying as poo poo to see Raubahn to literally send Adeledji to hell with red filter on him and all. Not so satisfying getting dogwalked by fuckin Ilberd and the other losers. It was also really drat cool seeing Raubahn completely no-sell losing his arm. I imagine people must've been going nuts about this before Heavensward came out. This is crazy.

All that becoming a republic would do is take the crown out of the process entirely.   The idea was that both the crown and the Syndicate would cease to have political power. This was obviously easier said than done; see, everything that happened in the UI'dah storyline after this conversation. But the Ul'dah Republic wasn't just going to be the current Ul'dah except without the Sultana.

Uuuh...... Are you all forgetting about the other thing in play here: Omega. Teledji knew about Omega and wanted it. It's likely that Lolorito knew about it and if not him, Ilberd probably did. Over a year ago, Yoshi P promised us Omega, but that might have been pushed to 4.0. Speculation time: The Ishgard plot is quickly coming to a conclusion. I'm curious if we'll get the final Nidhogg confrontation in 3.3 or 3.4. If 3.3, then 3.4 could be left for wrapping up all other loose ends and the initial rumblings of what's to come. From there, I could see 3.5 to be balls out crazy. Maybe we fight Ilberd in Omega. My idea would be: 3.3 has 2nd Warring Triad primal and a mission to gather forces against Nidhogg. Maybe a dungeon to find a secret weapon macguffin to defeat him. 3.4 has 3rd Warring Triad primal and Nidhogg dungeon/trial and wraps up Ishgard story. 3.5 has Omega/Ilberd trial and Ala Mhigo/Garlean related dungeon.

So I want to start a Dark Knight job with my main character, yet since I start off at level 30 and all the main quests are done (and many of the side quests), it seems it would be a huge slog to get from 30-60 again. Are there any good tips on leveling a character for another job?

Also, I would highly recommend getting PLD to at least 22 and MRD to at least 26 for vital cross-class skills before doing much with DRK. You need some of those cooldowns.

That would be great. Because Ilberd is a diehard nationalist so it wouldn't make any sense to see him throw in with the Garleans. So a three way grudge match between Ilberd, the WoL, and Regulus?

Here's everything you'll want to do in rough order of XP given: Low Level roulette, Dungeons, Fates/Leves, Side quests (beast tribe dailies etc.) Guildhest Roulette, Guildhests.
