I love that the first half of the new alliance raid is basically the exact opposite of Void Ark. It also looks really cool.

And map from dungeons? Maybe I should go gathering for some quick cash.

The youkai watch stuff is pure garbage; it's ugly, it's immersion-breaking and it sullies the game's (mostly) cohesive aesthetic.
That might seem a frivolous complaint, when we're talking about an MMO already filled with particle effect weapons/armor and enemy models ripped wholesale from other Final Fantasy titles, but this is in blatant disregard for FFXIV's extant set of design principles and is a general hallmark for a self-destructive slippery-slope that has in the past ruined better games.

I like every single weapon they showed. If I had to pick a least favourite, i'd go with AST's just because it doesn't have the same impact as the others and looks kind of boring, but i'd still want it.

Time to level MNK I guess.

youkai watch is cool and good that they decided to do

it's been a while since we had something stupid and just fun added to the game

particularly good at that it's born out of the bromance of hino and yoshida

Yokai Watch is basically some pokemon poo poo. Or that's what I get from hearing my 6 year old talk about it.

I don't think I'm the target audience for this crossover but that's ok, there's other cool stuff in the patch too, not everything has to be for me

I was never a pokemon fan or really big into anime so a lot of these things pass me by too, Ainsley. I do really love challenging fights, seeing bigger numbers, and killing things so they've done enough to keep me happy for the past couple of years.

Technogeek posted:

You are not, and never will be, considered a healer of any capacity at all. You're nothing but a glorified DPS that shrugs off all responsibility of the role to the other, infinitely more competent healer while you're off in your own little world spamming dps abilities and occasionally throwing up an Adlo if the stars align and it's necessary. No strategy, no planning, if things go tits up you don't even have the healing power to salvage the raid, you just roll over and die.

But that's just what I've seen from every Scholar I've ever met from 2.5 to now, so I guess people enjoy pretending to be a DPS.

The downside being...?

They do catch up mechanics like every other big content patch. At worst, if you put the effort in, you'll only ever be a bit behind the most hardcore raiders and at best you could actually join them.

Check the OP for a link to the recruit-a-friend thread so you and another goon can get a bunch of goodies just for entering a code when you try the game.
