It isn't a tiny bit. I can't keep up with an equally geared monk that knows how to play the class. The melee class DPS is inverse to their party utility. Monk's only drawback is lack of any party dps boosters but the tradeoff is a few hundred dps.

I wouldn't call myself a *bad* monk, but i'm not typically beating other equally geared goons and ninjas (that raid) by hundreds of DPS. I guess it also doesn't help that the other high tier monk mains I know are almost exclusively toxic assholes so its hard to get a specific critique of what I could do differently.

I still clear content and put pubbies to shame, at least. :shobon:

I just beat Alexander raid and I'm very happy. I think it's really cool outreach that whenever they start a new raid storyline, Yoshida personally chooses a random player from the Balmung server to focus the story on. I wonder what kind of charecter the next raid set in Stormblood will be

Have you even bothered playing any of those three classes? Every part of that is wrong.

Mide had exactly one good moment in the entire raid story and that was stone cold capping Quickthinx in the back of the head with her pistol but even that wasn't exactly impactful in the storyline and I'm pretty certain you could remove her and her tribe's presence without much issue. poo poo, I imagine it'd work so much better with existing characters and goblins and nothing else.

It seems an awful lot like they wanted to add an Au Ra character because Au Ra was the new expansion race and put basically no further thought into it then that.

It doesn't really work at being uplifting either, considering it's been stated that Mide's tribe, the Hotgo, were massacred by another tribe some time recently.

I still haven't been able to figure out what the hell Raethlota's shoes are. I have never seen any other character in the game wearing hoofboots, and it'd be really weird if a squadron recruit of all things had a unique gear asset created for them.

They're right. Wolfseye Thighboots and Wolfliege Thighboots, slight color difference between the two.

Same here, I'm hunting down Raging Ox, which would bring me to five males and three females. Getting Careless Whisper would be good too.

Not keen on the weirdly naked ladyroe though.

There is a Roe archer named Fearless Fawn, she may be easier to get.

Going to be laughed at for this, but I kinda liked it. Alexander being a primal around time, it sort of fits that it ends up engineering its own creation and stasis by layering it all within two or more paradoxes, since it can't help stop itself if it doesn't exist.

I feel like the official forums have been worse than usual lately. Multiple threads begging for Viera to be added on the front page, multiple threads asking for bulge/butt sliders on character creation on the front page.. we need some trivial news to shake things up, this is what happens when things get stagnant.

I mean, can you even imagine the dev work that would be involved in adding a new customizable mesh to every single armor in the game at this point? The only way I see that happening is if they get allocated another couple of million dollars to do a full 4k graphical upgrade.

They haven't talked about one at all yet from what I understand, so probably not unless they decided to save it for Euro for some godforsaken reason.

I don't think they have the team size to pull off another race this expansion, maybe next one if they manage to find some more people that know how to make video games in Japan on something that isn't a 320x240 screen

lol, as if they don't all already work for them or a competitor. They need to do more international hiring, but JP games gonna JP.

I'm not sure, lore wise, how they would cram in another race if Stormblood is all about the Ala Mhigo.
