I got all my Omega loot this week in 1 run of O1, 2 runs of O2, 1 run of O3, and 1 run of O4. I look forward to never having this luck again.

I think a more interesting question is how come there's only like one crossbreed in the entire world. (its because they don't want to model them)

ZenMasterBullshit posted:What? How? 10 years before the start of 1.0, F'lhammin and her friends were trying to get Ul'dah to go to war with Garlemald. They came up with a stupid, convoluted plan to unleash a goobbue during a parade, subdue the creature, become heroes for it, and then use their popularity to influence the Syndicate to go to war. The plan went horribly wrong, though. Your character actually gets to witness this event in an echo flashback in 1.0. Anyway, this resulted in Minfillia's father getting killed, and as it turned out, he was a spy for the Ala Mhigan Resistance, and he had critical information about Project Meteor. That information died with him.

I feel like the races in FF14 aren't super important to the plot except when it's convenient (like the Steppes tribes). Even if they gave some sort of plot reason at some point, It felt to me like Pippin was a Lalafell because he needed to be smaller than Raubahn and Ul'Dah has a sort of Lalafell theme,. and Minfilia's mother is a Miqote because someone wanted a cat mom in the game

Ularg posted:How hosed am I trying to get into Excalibur. I'm an American wanting to play with goons yet it seems it doesn't matter what time I try to create this character. It's probably going to be pretty tough with the new raid coming out today plus holiday. You can try again in a few days or make a char on another server and pay the transfer fee Ferrinus posted:On six targets, a rotation including F2 does 5760 potency/20.5 seconds = 281pps compared to the Flare-only rotation's 4032 potency/14.5 seconds = 278pps, although to be fair this does ignore Thunder and assume a 2.5s GCD. Right so that's why I said I have been doing a rotation that includes thunder And not F2 Unless you're in futureland and have a GCD below 2s you only need one bridging ability for the 12s transpose cooldown and thunder is better than fire. I'm on my phone so can't check numbers but pretty sure that's true even if you're clipping thunder at 12s F2 is bad

Oxyclean posted:Healing/WHM is a lot more fun when you outgear stuff, or at least don't have sucky gear. Healing ldr stuff wasn't too bad until I got to Stone Vigil - I don't know if I was bad, my gear was bad, or if the tank was bad, or some combination of the three. My gear was pretty close to my level but the tank would just melt, i lost them a few times on aoe pulls and was basically going oom just keeping them alive. It's a ton more fun now that I'm 60 and have shire gear and some more options to emergency heal and get mana back. Brayfox is the first indicator to tanks that things are going to get a bit tougher. Then along comes Stone Vigil and pretends to be the semi truck from Maximum Overdrive with the gremlin face on it and plows over anyone not ready for it. poo poo hits HARD, and if you're tanking it at level you're pretty much using cool downs on every pack. Running lldr I'll still get put in parties to this day where the tank quit on a group in there.

Sade posted:I realize I'm on the edge of Balmung territory with this question, but why are none of the characters have have moms and dads ever the same race as the kids. Raubahn has a potato son and Minfilia has a cat mom, but the whys of this are never ever discussed. Are all Eorzean babies adopted? Are Pipin and Minfilia actually terrifying mutant hybrids? In addition to what was already said, the races can interbreed, and the resulting kid has some characteristics of both patents. The only examples I can think of are Hilda (elezan/Hyur with less pointy elf ears), the guy in the Ala mhigan resistance (I thiiiink he was just mid/highlander though), and a princess from An Ra history whose parents were hyur and au ra and she was born with barely any scales. Supposedly this mixing is really looked down upon, like Hilda has clearly been shunned for her heritage and there's the gay hyur/catboy couple who talk about their love being forbidden. But at the same time basically every time sexy stuff is brought up by npcs it's stuff like catgirls dancing for mixed race crowds (who are clearly Horned Up) or the much less savory lalafell ladies aboard the Shatasha crew with no lalafell men in sight. In other words, who knows. Also alphy <3 krile :333 Countblanc fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jul 5, 2017 |

There's apparently a crop of Garlean/hyur kids without extra eyes all over the conquered territories, based on that one self-hating dude in the Scions.

Countblanc posted:or the much less savory lalafell ladies aboard the Shatasha crew with no lalafell men in sight There are human and catgirl women in the captain's quarters, and one goes "I swear on what little remains of my virtue that I'm not one of them!" Coupled with the mobs sometimes shouting "Take the women alive!" I think the implications of what the pirates were doing is clear. There was also that entirely gratuitous quest involving scantily clad catgirls in Thanalan who are totally almost naked for religious reasons asking you to shoo away peeping toms but then at quest completion said my [female elf] PC was welcome to stay and peep on them, noting "Bet you thought I didn't swing that way, huh?" A friend confirmed she doesn't say that for male PCs. I'm all for queer representation, but that stuff seems downright tasteless.When making my first character, I went with an elf lady because the human and miqo'te women had nonstop panty shots in the opening cutscene.

Freak Futanari posted:For Monks, the indignities never end It was pretty cool to be able to walk up to a healer/ranged dps/four stack tank and just delete them from existence with my insanely powerful and well thought out plan of "Hit Dragon Kick, Twin Snakes, and then press four oGCD buttons in the same order every time" skill set, I guess, kinda. Except not cool or fun at all, I guess. Old post, but seriously gently caress old pvp.

Asimo posted:With Omega, yeah one of the big things that came up is that it fundamentally doesn't understand human emotion or motivation. It might not even really be sapient, and instead is just an elaborate and powerful automaton operating out of control. I recommend reading Blindsight, by the way. Good sci-fi book with a central concept very relevant to what you wrote there.

It's supposed to be a like a 99% chance of the kid of a mixed race just popping out as whatever the mother is, and a 1% chance of it having traits of both actually, which explains why they're so rare/looked down upon.

Thundarr posted:This is unlikely. We already got the end boss of FF5. What we'll probably see between the regular and challenge mode Omega raids is some combination of FF1, 2, 4, 6, and 9. If they're feeling saucy then maybe non-FF series like Dragon Quest or Ogre Battle. (Brave Fencer Musashi floor 3: DANCE OR DIE. Please look forward to it.) I would kill for an Emil boss fight. Zero would also be acceptable

Catmom's around, she's upstairs in Revenant's Toll for whatever reason, in the little restaurant on top of the walls that nobody ever really visits. With that said you'll meet with NPCs there for the culinarian 63-70 quests, and will see her just sitting there remarking on how much it's changed if you talk to her.

Ramadu posted:This is terrible news Well, Cao is kind of wrong. There's an underwater village, but there's also an underwater city which is a sidequest dungeon from the village. The trailer shows off the city, because the village definitely does not have the giant buildings that are represented there. So yes, there is a sort-of Atlantis.

Fill up your retainers with pretty princess dressup sets. Buy the Dark Knight Stormblood set weapon to beat people with a giant bat.

They should really consider giving crafter blues 2 slots but no overmelding like DoW/M gear.

Giraffe ladies have the same issue as roegadames, their heads are way small so they look pretty dumb in some armor or if you picked the wrong height.Concurred posted:So, I have the BLM Lv. 60 Makai set / title, but it's my only job above 60.
