Do the DRG class quests for resolution on this.

I'm kind of on the fence about this stuff. There's an entire area in the Fringes that's used for White Mage's job quests and, as far as I've seen, absolutely nothing else. Maybe a FATE or two?

There's a lot of weird/strange areas or leftover bits of story in Stormblood, like the little palace on the water in southwestern Peaks, and i wonder how many of these are just job quest locations and not things to be expanded upon in upcoming patches :v:

Guess I'll find out if I ever manage to finish catching all my jobs up to 60.

So did every MNK go SAM? I haven't seen a MNK since SB came out.

I farmed POTD during the Raubahn Wall and by the time it was fixed my SAM was 59 so I said gently caress it. If Raubahn's Wall hadn't existed I'd have gone through the MSQ as a MNK but after a dozen plus hours of POTD I had grown to like SAM and just stuck with it. It's basically the low/no group utility loldps that MNK was supposed to be. When everything lines up you just shred whatever you're fighting. Being able to not-elusive jump out of an AOE, hit with a buffed Enpi, and then dash back in is fun too in those rare times I remember to do so (probably isn't an optimal use of Kenki but w/e).

Plus they share the same gear so when I level MNK to 70 I'll have a full set of gear ready and waiting for it in the event SE gives MNK its due or if it feels fun at 70. :shrug:

I took monk to 70 first, sam is my next project but the main stumbling block is that dungeon queues are ridiculous right now and I get bored of PvP spam pretty quickly.

POTD is faster than PVP until level 60 at the very least.

TBH unless you're a scholar you're doing far better aoe dps than the pld. Take it as a cue to cast more holy/grav.

Literally everything is gated behind the main scenario quests (the ones with the meteor icon). You have to do Sastasha to get anywhere.

Yes, there are multiple points in the main story where you can't progress until beating a​ specific dungeon or trial. Just keep queueing until one goes through.

If you're on Excalibur send a tell to Moe Blob and I will heal for you, it'll be an instant queue. Or if you're in a FC ask for help.

I prefer to think that the WoL left that dangling on purpose, in the hopes for a savage mode rematch.

Zenos was totally right about us, seriously.

Yeah, I think the WoL figures "Well I've kicked the poo poo out of everyone who's ever held them, they must not be a big deal.

Got super hype for the final boss of Kugane Castle. That was a cool way to do the gimmick with FFXIV's battle system. Some more MSQ stuff

What exactly was the point of introducing the Not-Sharingan? We killed the guy responsible for doing it, we beat Fordola literally the first time she used hers, and we beat Zenos the first time he revealed his. Are we meant to believe there are others we'll be seeing later? I dunno it just felt like a weird thing to tack on at the end. It doesn't even really properly explain why Zenos was so much better than us in our previous battles.

If you're on Excalibur and in a Goon FC speak up in FC chat that you're a newbie who needs to run the dungeons. You'll get help. Even if it's 3 DPS who just brute force the dungeon since you don't actually need a tank or healer for the first couple dungeons due to job/gear advantages.

If you're not on Excalibur... you should be.

I figured no one cared because as Estinien mentions, there's so little aether left in the eyes that they wouldn't have been able to cause trouble again regardless. If they're even capable of becoming powerful enough to be used for something, it wouldn't be for thousands of years.

I think it's implied that Zenos already was a Resonant, even from before we met him? It's the reason he's so freakishly powerful compared to absolutely everyone else we've ever met. And he was fully resonant, where Fordola only had the one weird eye. I figure the importance was merely "this is a thing that Zenos and his weird science man do and it'll be a real problem if we don't stop them."

The entire plot of Stormblood was Zenos finding someone strong enough to have a good fight with as Shinryu. He was a Resonant from the start.

The AST class quest was.... kind of lame. Other than connecting Astrologians to Geomancers, the quest itself was.... just kinda boring. We didn't even get to go anywhere fun. We just ran around an empty Kugane. Other people were talking about going to old dungeons and poo poo, we just got Kugane. :smith:
