Look at this snail.
Late but I can't stand playing DRGs in dungeons because their aoe rotation is kind of dull. I leveled a BLM specifically for 4-mans and it's basically the best thing.

But what I really wanted to say was, if you turn off auto facing when using an ability, those frontal cone abilities are a lot easier to aim and don't get messed up by tanks. Of course, you probably lose some GCD's elsewhere. I have a love/hate relationship with that setting.

I made a post with pictures of my job glamours earlier, then I got bored and fantasia'd to the single rarest race/clan/gender combination in the game. I think the female Duskwight players (all 1.3% of the game's population according to the last Reddit poll I could find) just didn't want people to find out how absurdly photogenic they are.



I might have to fiddle with some of the aesthetician stuff like blush and lip color a little bit, but other than that HOW IS SHE SO PERFECT

also I got a bit carried away and took some pictures at the baths in Kugane, which are here if you're bored

Agreed but they should have kept ring of thorns instead.

Arguably a greater loss than fracture.

All ring of thorns was really good for was letting you know if you hit the flank right on heavy thrust. Bad DPS would just spam it during aoe when they should have been spamming doom spike. Phlebotomize is the real thing I miss.

Sorry, I meant Free Companies. There are three listed in the OP. I'm a filthy casual so I don't know if that's ok. In some games they're not allowed in goon groups.

If you are on excal get a group of goons to run you through them and funnel tokens to you. I'd be more than happy to help.

All four would take like an hour. If that.

I should, but I figured I'd try the first one out and my RDM queue popped instantly last night, so I just jumped in. I'm loving the FF5 aesthetic. I'll try and round some people up this week to at least get the next three down the first time. That way, I'm set for when O5 comes out. There's still a lot I have left to do at end game. I mostly just like to run dungeons, and I've been casually trying to level gathering and crafting.

I got to do a bunch of Canals last night, so thanks to the extra goons who came along. :3:

My hope was always that the three FCs would all move to Shirogane and take up one entire corner of the same housing district, or three of the mansions and then we'd all hang out in the middle. The Goon District.

So I just wrapped up ARR and my God who thought it was a good idea to put a credit roll in the game as a cut scene after the game had already had a credit roll earlier in the MSQ. I guess they were *REALLY* proud they unfucked 1.0.

Legitimately, they are REALLY proud they unfucked 1.0. They are very proud of this fact. I mean, they should be, considering how bad 1.0 was and how much if a money sink it became for the company. If u don't know all the stuff that went down, noclip and Speakers Network both have great documentaries on the fall of 1.0 and how 2.0 came about. They're really fascinating, if only to reminisce about how bad 1.0 was.

I'm Knives Jonquil from PBC and I have friends in all three goon free companies. I don't wanna recommend any over each other because each one is just a different flavor of chill. I'd probably regularly switch between the three for a change of pace if it weren't for the fact that I'm nicely settled in PBC's house. But basically, don't over think things and don't worry about choosing the 'right' FC. Everyone is generally very helpful.

Come 4.1 I am very much looking forward to running new players through Crystal Tower and the Mhach content. It will be nice to have more chances to 24-man raid again, as that's often my favorite content when with cool people. Full goon raids are a blast and very chill.

I'm curious to see what adjustments they have planned for MSQ Roulette, however... I like speed running those, but the way they exist now sucks for new players. I hope they make it more friendly for New Adventurers.

Another note on the equipment. The flames get a cool longcoat for hitting lieutenant, the adders get a boring coat I can't remember, and maelstrom gets a sweet jacket.

Yes you can decide later, it will sit on your character selection screen until you want to use it.

I'm leveling AST from 60 now. I like AST a lot, and overall I like it more than SB SCH, but WHM is just on another level for the stuff I'm doing (almost everything except ~challenging group content~). For a start, I have AoE in level 50 dungeons, and part of my mana regen isn't tied to card RNG.

You can do some clutch healing with light speed and buff a tank for days with time dilation so you can spend more time dpsing and the spell effects look neat but I was so done with AST once I hit 70 with it. You lose so many important abilities doing lldr and 56dr tosses you in to 50 dungeons often so no AOE for you!

Didn't help that it was my last healer job to 70.

Basically using a fantasia enables an option at character select screen to re-edit your look as if creating a new character. The option only disappears once you confirm your new look.
