A 50S RAYGUN posted:what reason would someone have to want to download the game without a subscription barring the trials? the scenario that guy is describing makes no sense. does the few hours you'd be subbed but still downloading really matter? why would next week be any different? Because I don't want to pay for a 30 day sub then lose a whole day (or two) downloading the client? Arthil posted:It's actually more common to be able to fully download and patch the game prior to having a subscription, or even an account. Not exactly sure why FFXIV works that way really. You could get around it though, by starting a new trial account with a throwaway email address. I'll give that trial account thing a shot, thanks.

Susano is really hype. Good music. Cool transition. Good feeling playing him too, because it's actually pretty easy to avoid his poo poo if you keep your head on straight. I love when bosses feel like a test of my reflexes more than any of the other sorts. It's a drat pubbie smasher though. We wiped like 3 times.

We ended up making no mistakes and had only one death (melee lb3 at a predictably bad moment) so now I'm kinda curious about one mechanic: if you gently caress up the rocks by killing the wrong one or leaving the right one alive, what happens? raid aoe? I have no idea, are fight mechanics a spoiler?

Now imagine doing that at E3, where you have 7 strangers, and no guarantees any of them have ever played the game before. Also, you only get 3 attempts. EDIT: I watched one group do the fight and this woman was playing as a Samurai (good job picking a class you definitely do not know how to play). She most of the time was out of melee range and struggled to stick to her target. They never made it past the sword.

I think killing the wrong one leads to raid aoe, not killing the right one in time kills the guy inside. Edit: strikeout is not spoiler.

I did it as a 63 SAM and only died to Ciaphas posted:(melee lb3 at a predictably bad moment) Start LB3-- Oh. It's a pool. Great. Cool. On a sidenote. How do Bards die to AoE?

Kaldaris posted:On a sidenote. In HW I would frequently tunnel-vision my rotation and not notice the AOEs before it was too late. Now it's less excusable, but I can see the same thing happening, more attention being paid to buttons, procs, rotations than to the characters.

Never played this game, but I want to get the complete edition today, and jump in. Hope I won't be overwhelmed and intimidated being around people who already put 500 hours into the game. I remember playing my first raid in WoW. People offered me gold to leave the group, and I was a healer. MeatRocket8 fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Wondering how it handles the huge crazy group raids. My friend has a monster PC rig, and it looks glorious. Dunno how this $200 console is going to deal.

I played at a decently high level at the endgame up until the end of HW while still on a PS3. You'll be absolutely fine on PS4. It is pretty and it is smooth.

Oh holy crap I just did (fourth dungeon) Doma Castle and the duties keep getting better and better. And they started strong! Also I loved how (music/plot) in the cutscenes afterwards as Doma is liberated there's an orchestral remix of the FF6 Doma theme.

Kanfy posted:I guess it only half-counts but have they done the clash thing before? It definitely caught me a bit off-guard, but then there's quite a few raids I've never done. Ah, that's a QTE, is it? So you mash with mouseclicks, or do you know if there's a button you can mash on your keyboard instead? (I assume Numpad 0 works as the default, but I'm curious to see if just any input button works.) (edit: Actually, come to think of it, if Numpad 0 works, doesn't that mean that the Japanese inherently have an advantage on this kind of stuff with 00 keys on their numpad?)

This specific thing hasn't happened before but there is a quick time event in A11 so that bit of UI/general concept has precedent.

I do not see your average pubbie group having much success with the final boss. They managed to top heavensward's though, that's for sure.

I remember reading something about Wondrous Tails being different at level 70 but I'm not sure if it meant the content you had to run or the possible rewards. Would it be worth it to wait with picking up a book until I hit level 70? I'm halfway towards level 67 so I should be able to hit it on wednesday/thursday depending on server stability after the actual launch.

SUSANO'O WAS GREAT. 10/10 WOULD INTERCEPT GIANT SWORDS WITH MY FACE AGAIN. Although does it seem like last expansion's gear may not last quite as long into the expansion this time around? I can't wait until I get to 70 and start doing EX.
