Gonna laugh if the Scarlet Witch shirt is actually a teaser for Magitek Knights (Celes/Kefka) and not Red Mage. YoshiP's the same guy who wore a Bond shirt to tease MCH after all.

If this were true I'd switch the instant Stormblood hit and never look back.

I know it's only PvP, but the next match might be interesting. It's the dev team versus the tournament winners (I think? I only just got back).

the translated japanese names are kinda better

Blue Heaven Ishgard is decidedly worse than Heavensward

The only ones that are better are The Last Roar (which is insanely better than Revenge of the Horde, holy poo poo) and Those Who Inherit The Soul (because Soul Surrender is kind of boring).

The Last Roar sounds kind of goofy to me. Those Who Inherit the Soul vs. Soul Surrender is probably the biggest wash. Neither is particularly good.

I especially agree with Mr. Yar on the topic of Gears of Change versus Gears of Destiny. I feel like Gears of Destiny undermines the events of Heavensward. There was nothing inevitable about political and social reform of Ishgard, it happened because a number of people worked for it and passing it off as ~Destiny~ is bullshit. gently caress destiny. gently caress prophecy. :colbert:

Three different duty finder groups, both leading to abandons, fifteen or more different wipes between them, most failing several minutes in at around around 30%. I just want to get my goddamn token from A11 normal this week, is this so hard? It's not even me loving up for a change, I have the mechanics burned into my reflexes now. :negative:

he's not wrong housing is not a pressing issue in this game

stuff like "will we be able to see more than 16 debuffs?" "can we get more raid markers now that ps3 is going away?" is more relevant

probably minor dialogue branches, like allowing healing jobs to help others recover from injuries. Not to the "cast Raise on Aeris" level, but devs are willing to work around it

I hope Odin returns with a role in the story. Since Stormblood has us going to Ala Mihgo, the Eorzean Alliance will probably aid the Resistance, and such a large conflict should draw his interest.
