What are good sources of scripture? I'd like to get to i250 for some bird farming. Currently at i232 and working on my kinna weapon.

Scrip can be had from doing the various roulettes each day - you can easily amass 150+ per day. Even just doing EXDR over and over gets you 50 a pop, but that wears the soul a bit. Doing Savage Alex also provides scrip, but you're a little low level for that. A9 is easy to beat though and pounding it over and over for 30 scrip a pop would be pretty fast.

When I was doing my Density farming I saw a handful of people who joined A1S groups as dps since it was ostensibly faster for grinding out scripture. I haven't run the numbers but if you aren't queueing with a healer or tank friend it's definitely going to get you faster pops than most roulettes.

Isn't A1S the fastest way to grind out the last Anima step, too? It's nice when 2 different goals have the same path, makes queueing a lot faster.

Yeah, my main issue with the whole Yda is actually Lyse thing is that I never knew the real Yda, and so her death doesn't really mean much to me. Lyse is the spunky comic relief character who had an awesome showdown with Livia way back in 2.0. Lyse is the one that literally punched her way out of Uldah. She's cool and good and one of the scions I like, and her big reveal and name change are kinda meaningless because of that. It would be different if Yda died between 2.55 and HW, and that's where Lyse swapped in, but... Also drat I never realized the link between the legion number and their goals, that's super neat and I feel dumb.

And since groups only need one tank and one healer (and ideally have that though it's certainly not necessary) it's really easy to squeeze into one as a dps.

The average A1S run, in my experience, is getting the first boss down to 10-18% health before the second one spawns and then killing them both in another 20-30 seconds. The whole thing takes like 2-3 minutes per run and I've only seen one wipe which was from the tank pulling before realizing there were 3 first-timers who were watching the cutscene and weren't in the boss room (including the healer).

Wonder if we'll ever do something about the Gration. Even with Regulus dead and the Garlean Emperor gone back home, it seems really unwise to leave them there. At least the various Castrums can be isolated, there's nothing on Azys Lla to really resist them without having to call the Scions in.

Oh also none of you ever knew the real Fister Roboto so this reveal is basically meaningless. Welp, later. The real Fister Roboto died shortly before all of the buffets at Fanfest.

See this is what I assumed when they first did the reveal, until the "6 years ago line", and I'm kind of puzzled as to why they didn't go with it. Not only does it add more weight because the player CAN relate it to a sense of loss, but it retroactively addresses one of the most common complaints about Heavensward, that it basically undid all the major consequences of the end of 2.55 storyline. Not only that, but it addresses their prolonged absence and lack of contact better than what we ended up getting, which was "Umm..resistance stuff don'tworryaboutit"

If you have a group that can reliably dunk Refurbisher in under four minutes, A9S farming might be faster than A1S. However, if you have such a group then you can probably clear A1S so fast that it would still be quicker overall. A9S farming would give you a better source of SB catch-up gear and bait for desynth and GC seals I guess.

In some form or another, yes. Dalmasca and Rabanastre (FFXII Ivalice locations) have been labeled as places in FFXIV. The most compelling evidence that I've seen (beyond hinting on Yoshi-P's part and the announcement of an Ivalice raid written by Yasumi Matsuno himself in Stormblood) is the map:  Now, take it, rotate it 90 degrees to the left, and then overlay it on top of the island to the southeast of Lionel in the south of Ivalice:  Of course, what separates all of these potential Ivalices from eachother is *time*. edit: I keep getting the timeline mixed up. If the FFXII port weren't coming this summer, I'd play through it for the first time. (Or rather would it be playing itself, har har har gambit joke) SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Mar 28, 2017 |

That's an enormous stretch. Also, 12 takes place before Tactics, not after. For all intents and purposes, Dalmasca is just a name, like Doma.

I don't think the twist was supposed to be a huge deal to the player. To me it's just a fairly respectful way of generally moving on from the characters and imagery of 1.0 without completely making GBS threads all over it. I don't think it really matters when exactly the real Yda was replaced; for all intents and purposes Lyse will likely be basically a new character.
