Given what I've heard about the DRG/MSQ questline fuckery between ARR and HW, I can see there being legitimate worry about constantly bringing him back in. It's a shame there aren't more good side characters to weave into the MSQ though.

I think in trying to keep the timeline consistent if you do content between expansions in the 'wrong order' is a fool's errand. Hell, the CUL 50 quest doesn't even make sense if you do it at the end of 2.55.

I am kind of surprised Oboro didn't get much more than a blink-and-you'll miss it cameo in the SB MSQ, seemed like an obvious one. Karasu could totally work in a Hildebrand quest though.

I kinda want my own house but I'm poor and not that dedicated so I might just continue to live out of my lovely apartment in Gridania until the elementals get grumpy and reclaim the area for the trees or whatever the gently caress motivates them.

She was there for so little time I forgot completely. Whether they make completely new characters or bother to develop existing ones, I think they need to thread them through a majority of an MSQ cycle like with Estinien, Alph, Ysayle, and Haurchefaunt. Also they should avoid killing them at the end next time.

Apparently frozen zombie guy was around for several quests as an alive non-frozen guy back in 1.0, when that entire zone was present as a non-frozen zone.

Ferrinus posted:At the very least Physick should just transform into Sustain when you equip the SMN job crystal. Right, Summoners never actually had a good heal, they just had a legacy button they never pressed. Make Physick a 1500 potency heal that only works on pets or something.

Makes sense. I'll give it a shot but I'm not getting my hopes up. Anyway, I beat Stormblood a few days ago and now I'm working on SCH. PvP owns. I have no idea what it was like before 4.0 but I am really enjoying myself in Shatter (the only queue that pops for me).

a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:I thought only New servers got the million gil bonus, and Preferred just got the exp bonus/free game time? Oh, yeah, that would be why. Thanks, missed that. Had a really memorable first Ravana run, had to LB3 as a Healer, and we ended with just one DPS alive. Definitely a huge step up from Leviathan/Ramuh. I tried him a second time afterwards and it went much more smoothly, but I'm glad he put up a fight. Trying to tell which side is his back is kind of hell, though.

Red Mage thematically is white magic + black magic but the white magic element is fairly limited. If Summoner had a good cure + raise it would kind of thematically tread on the same ground. Though people are right that they should have something that heals pets at minimum.

Or they just shouldn't have the button at all if it's going to suck. Have it turn into Dreadwyrm Trance or something if you won't get rid of it. (Being able to heal pets decently is important for solo Summoner, though.)

I mostly find it hilarious from the balance perspective. Even if Summoners didn't have a terrible heal, Red Mages have on-demand swiftcasting through their dualcast mechanic. I'd like BLM to have a raise of some sort at least for the utility perspective, but there is the concern that BLM never runs out of MP, whereas the other two can and have to manage their MP accordingly as a battle wears on.

Since BLMs don't need Lucid Dreaming for mana, they DO effectively have an extra slot to use for Apocatastasis or Erase or something. And of course they can Mana Shift on cooldown at no real cost.

I use Lucid and Diversion both, but I want to say that usually popping Diversion ahead of the octo-FireIV opener is enough to keep me safe and the Lucid feels like overkill. But what if this is a trap to get me to inadvertently admit my dps is bad...?
